Union County Health and Rehab

Union County Health and Rehab, also called Union County Health & Rehab Center, sits in New Albany, MS, where the place stays quiet and peaceful, making it a calm spot for folks who need thoughtful care, and even though the center focuses on helping folks stay as independent as possible, and the staff really tries to treat everyone with respect and kindness, there have been some problems showing up during inspections, such as the place not always being as safe, clean, or home-like as it should be, and sometimes people aren't told quickly about things that affect them, but these problems didn't actually harm anyone, though there was a chance something worse could have happened. With 60 certified beds but about 50 filled on a usual day, the center gives long-term care in a residential setting for those with chronic illnesses needing round-the-clock nursing, post-surgery support, memory care, and specialty therapies, and it's got a good range of skilled help, including pain and wound care, IV treatments, hospice care, medication management, and therapy services made to fit personal needs. The nurse turnover rate sits at 34.5%, which is better than the state average, and nurses there give more hours per resident each day than usual for this state, which might mean staff can pay closer attention. Since December 2024, Long Term Care Management LLC has run the center, which belongs to the Beebe Family, and though it's a for-profit company, they stick to state rules for staffing and services, offering amenities like social programs, activities, and memory care that aim to make life brighter and help people feel more at home. There's a focus on making the place relaxing and giving support for daily living, dementia, and rehab needs, but inspections found 10 total deficiencies-including three problems with how infections were handled and some issues with honoring residents' rights to dignity and communication-though, again, nothing actually did direct harm. The staff, made up of caregivers and nursing professionals, get special training to handle wounds and other health problems, and they try to keep everyone comfortable, with a home-like feel, and give each person attention based on what suits them best. While the place does stay involved with all the usual inspections and tries to follow rules to the letter, the staff keeps up caregiver-to-senior ratios and holds activities and social events to help residents and families stay connected, though people should know about some of the past issues before making decisions, and while memory care, assisted living-style help, and palliative support are available, no facility is perfect, and it's good to stay informed.
