Tupelo Nursing & Rehab Center sits on Briar Ridge Road in Tupelo, Mississippi, with a single-story building that holds up to 120 residents, which is more than most nursing homes in the state. The rooms come both private and semi-private, each with a private restroom, cable and phone lines, and space for personal items, which helps residents feel settled and a bit more at home, and people can see that housekeeping and regular restroom cleaning are part of the routine. The facility serves folks who need long-term care and those just needing a shorter stay to recover from illness or surgery, with a Transitional Care Unit set up with its own private entrance for folks who come for rehabilitation. Nurses, Nurse Practitioners, and rehab doctors are around 24 hours a day, handling skilled nursing, complex medical needs, and support for things like dialysis, wound care with Wound Vac, and dementia care, and there's help for residents with bariatric care, dental services, x-ray, pharmacy, and even mental health support. For people working on strength and recovery, therapy services like physical, occupational, speech and enhancement therapy are available, with both inpatient and outpatient options, and the rehab gym has modern equipment like the Colorado Cycle and Omnicycle, which helps residents and outpatients work on endurance and strength.
The dining program's focus is on quality, with five-star meals and snacks meant to be both nutritious and enjoyable, served in a dedicated dining room so residents can eat together. For those who want to stay connected, each room has cable and telephone lines, with computer access in the shared center, plus transportation in a wheelchair van for medical appointments or outings. Residents can visit the beauty shop, exercise in the fitness room, join activities in the game room, or read in the small library, and there's garden space and an outdoor courtyard for fresh air. The facility holds scheduled activities every day of the week and offers organized community events, which helps people stay involved and engaged. There's support for short-term respite care, which gives caregivers a break, along with long-term residence and memory care services. Tupelo Nursing & Rehab Center accepts both Medicare and Medicaid, and works with long-term care insurance, while providing continuity of care by keeping familiar staff around. The building has undergone recent renovations to improve comfort and accessibility, and the care team prepares personalized plans shaped by each resident's health needs. Though reviews are mixed, averaging 2.3 out of 20 ratings, the facility remains Medicare and Medicaid certified, accredited, and recognized for quality care. This for-profit center provides both nursing and rehabilitation services aimed at supporting the overall wellness and independence of its residents.
