Perry County Nursing & Rehab Center

Perry County Nursing & Rehab Center sits quietly in the Ouachita Mountains of Arkansas, where deer and birds wander by and the air's peaceful most days, and since its start in 1981 people have come here for skilled nursing, short-term rehab after a hospital stay, and longer-term care if they need extra help. The facility holds 95 beds with both private and semi-private rooms, renovated in 2008 with garden areas and an observation unit, and you'll find a home-like atmosphere where staff support everyday living with things like help with dressing and bathing, medication reminders, laundry, housekeeping, and linen services. Residents have meals with a continental breakfast and a buffet setup in a restaurant-style dining hall, and when family or friends visit, there are indoor sitting rooms, patios, a gazebo, and a covered patio that make visits comfortable, along with a putting green and landscaped courtyards for a stroll or some fresh air. For hobbies or quiet time, residents have a small library, Wi-Fi, cable TV, and places to watch sports like the man cave with a projection TV, and there's an on-site beauty salon. Folks in rehabilitation, especially those resting in bed, get visits from volunteers, crossword puzzles, and iPad games with music to keep them busy, and the Activities Directors arrange everything from arts and crafts, bingo, table games, cooking groups, to daily social events, religious services, and bigger outings to places like Oak-lawn, Petit Jean State Park, and Mustang Football games. The residents' wellness gets attention through a mental wellness program, and there's plenty of therapy including speech, respiratory, occupational, physical therapy, motion exercises, and short-wave diathermy, with pain management and 24-hour medical care from licensed and certified staff. Each person gets an individualized care plan and support, whether they need short-term rehab, intermediate care for greater nursing support, or ongoing long-term care, all in a quiet setting surrounded by woods and wildlife, and everyone keeps up with planned meals and activities through a monthly event calendar and meal planner, so families can stay as involved as they want with group gatherings or celebrations whenever they like. Perry County Nursing & Rehab Center is fully licensed by the State of Arkansas' Long Term Care Division, Medicare and Medicaid certified, and set up with private and semi-private rooms that are professionally decorated and have kitchenettes, cable TV, Wi-Fi, and telephone access for each resident. Staff also handle transportation for appointments, mail delivery, and scheduled visits, making sure daily needs and comforts are covered, and the environment stays supportive and peaceful.
