Courtney Manor Nursing & Rehabilitation sits in Bad Axe, MI as a skilled nursing and rehab facility with 99 beds, and they do quite a bit for seniors needing 24-hour nursing or rehabilitation care and folks who have physical or mental health conditions, so when you walk in the place you've got registered staff and a care team who work steady hours each week-this includes licensed administrators, directors of nursing, physicians on call all day and night, nurses, certified nursing assistants, social workers, therapists, wound care team, and folks who cover special services like dental, vision, and psychiatry, plus a full dietary team led by a registered dietitian, and they keep family in the loop with both a resident council and a family council. The building itself is non-smoking, modern, and aims for a friendly, helpful atmosphere where the staff is known for being joyful and kind, making the environment feel welcoming, and folks who live there can choose between private and semi-private rooms, with in-room TVs, Wi-Fi, and visiting hours any time you feel like dropping by, and for those who want a little pampering there's a full-service salon and beautician and barber services right on site. Meals are a real focus here, and they go for quality in the kitchen with restaurant-style dining, nutritious foods, and sometimes a bit of fun like hand-dipped ice cream, fountain pop, and happy hour every weekday, so meals are sociable and the dining areas are pleasant, with 24-hour room service if you want to eat in your room.
They don't just deliver standard care but cover a wide range of services that include skilled nursing, respite care, hospice, inpatient rehab, and personal care for a variety of needs, whether you're there for short-term recovery or long-term support, and they're part of Ciena Healthcare. The therapy team works six days a week providing physical, occupational, and speech therapy, and for those with special medical needs they offer memory care, wound care (including Wound VAC), dialysis support, tracheostomy care, tube feeding, sepsis management, substance abuse management, IV therapy, total parenteral nutrition, and pain relief, and all this is supported by their own pharmacy, plus on-site lab and X-ray services. They've got transportation and medical transport if you need to get to appointments and have access to telemedicine, and they're good about discharge planning and helping arrange for the next step if you're only staying for rehab. For the daily basics, the nursing staff helps with personal care and activities of daily living, with restorative nursing programs so folks can keep as much independence as possible.
They accept both Medicaid and Medicare, so there's a wider range of folks who can use their care, and they have special programs for dementia and cognitive deficit management, as well as recreational therapy and lots of activities aimed at keeping residents social, active, and engaged, and they've even gotten awards for their activity programs. Awards from the AHCA-Bronze and Silver-and the HCAM "Facility of Excellence" say that the place is doing quite a few things right, with a facility inspection rating of B+ that means things run well and the standards are being met. Families can use a private lounge for gatherings, and everyone gets access to social services if something extra comes up. The campus is comfy, there's a sense of hospitality, and the staff tries to build real relationships with the people who live there, and while it's a for-profit community run individually, they've carved out a place that runs steady, offers a lot under one roof, and tries to be a good choice for both short stays and long stays, with a real focus on kindness and care.
