Signature HealthCARE of Putnam County sits in Cookeville, TN, and serves as a skilled nursing facility where folks get personalized, full service care that covers rehab, short-term care, memory care, and medical services. The facility provides nursing home care for those who need ongoing help, intermediate care for frail folks, and short-term rehab for people heading home from the hospital, which is helpful because many just need a place to recover for a little bit before going back to their own place. Memory care at this facility has a secure environment and staff trained in Alzheimer's and other dementia-related challenges. Residents get support through different therapies including physical, occupational, and speech therapy, with added services like postsurgical care, wound care, tube feeding, infusion therapy, and pain management. Respiratory therapy, diet management, restorative services, and pharmacy support are available, too, so folks dealing with complex needs won't feel left out.
Signature HealthCARE of Putnam County offers hospice and respite care for those needing comfort, as well as behavioral management, psychosocial support, and counseling for grief, which matters for folks and their families during difficult times. The facility includes dining rooms with a variety of meal choices, and you'll also find a beauty shop, transportation services, and pet therapy, which means there's a chance to find a bit of comfort and activity outside the resident rooms. The staff includes Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs), and there's CNA training at the facility itself, so they work on keeping their staff sharp and ready to help.
The property joins several organizations, being a member of the Eden Alternative Registry and the Tennessee Health Care Association (THCA), which points to an interest in newer models of personal, resident-centered care instead of the old traditional style. Folks will find specialty clinical programs, care navigation to help residents and families make choices, and some interfaith and spirituality programs for people seeking that kind of comfort. Rehabilitation services are centered in a dedicated short-term unit for folks aiming to get stronger and move back home.
Dining at or near the facility ranges from Western, Asian, Vietnamese, Sichuan, Southern, Soul Food, to pizzas, hamburgers, and buffets, and the area offers a spread of refreshment choices-cafés, tea rooms, coffeehouses, bakeries, bubble tea stores, and ice cream shops-plus shopping, nightlife, and other travel and tour services in the vicinity.

Paula Boone leads as administrator. Signature HealthCARE operates the facility and provides a variety of resources through their vendor finder and facility finder tools.
