Arrington Living Center

Arrington Living Center sits next to Covington County Hospital and offers sixty skilled nursing beds for folks needing short-term or long-term care, with services like 24-hour nursing, medication help, and therapy for memory loss, Parkinson's disease, swallowing troubles, and more. The nursing staff, led by Administrator Christie Walters and 80 other trained medical professionals, gives care at all hours, while licensed medical directors take care of exam needs, and pharmacy staff handles medicines. Patricia Young manages the activities here, so residents get to join in daily life skills support, social events, educational programs, and family outreach. The therapy team, including certified rehab and speech therapists, helps people recover from strokes, accidents, balance problems, orthopedic injuries, and breathing conditions, and trains folks in energy saving and fall prevention. Living spaces at Arrington feel open and comfortable, with private or shared rooms that each have private bathrooms designed to be safe and accessible, and some include kitchenettes and adjustable beds, all with phones and natural light. Residents have cable, fast internet, and Wi-Fi for staying connected, and they can relax in the courtyard or on the porch, visit the salon or barber shop, enjoy movies, take part in games or arts, tend the community garden, or walk the paths. The activity room and fitness area stay busy with scheduled activities, wellness programs, and plenty of chances for everyone to talk and move about. The dining room serves meals all day long, with options for room service and special diets-like diabetes-friendly or allergy-sensitive choices-made by professional chefs, so everyone gets something good to eat. Folks don't have to worry about laundry or housekeeping since staff handles it, and there's transportation and safe parking when it's needed. The facility works with Medicare and Medicaid and aims to keep residents safe and comfortable, helping with daily living like bathing, dressing, and eating, while keeping a close eye on people needing extra help with memory, incontinence, or other medical needs, and with its tie to the hospital, medical attention's always within reach if someone's health needs change.
