Operated by Saber Healthcare Group, a nationally recognized post-acute and long-term care organization with a strong commitment to clinical excellence, Waddell delivers around-the-clock nursing care in a setting that feels connected to the community it serves.

For family members visiting loved ones, downtown Galax offers convenient dining options along with shopping at the Galax Walmart Supercenter on Crescent Lane. Outdoor enthusiasts in the family will appreciate the area's access to the New River Trail State Park and Grayson Highlands State Park — both within a short drive — offering a restorative backdrop to what can sometimes be an emotional caregiving journey. At Waddell Nursing and Rehab Center, the clinical team focuses on individualized care planning, physical and occupational therapy, and dignified long-term support for those who call this community home.
