Decatur Wellness & Rehabilitation Center

Decatur Wellness & Rehabilitation Center sits on River Road in Decatur, TN, providing skilled nursing, long-term care, and short-term rehab services all under one roof, and they focus on health, recovery, and wellness with a variety of programs for their residents. The center has room for up to 88 certified beds, but there are usually about 43 residents there each day, and people can pick from private suites or semi-private rooms, each with private bathrooms, air-conditioning, internet, cable, Wi-Fi, and even iPads for residents to enjoy, plus an outdoor courtyard where people can get some fresh air. Trained healthcare professionals-including certified nurses, licensed medical practitioners, nursing assistants, and physical therapists-are there to help with daily needs, medication, therapy, and personal care at any hour, and they keep the place secure for residents with medical disabilities or who may wander. They offer meal preparation and dining amenities, housekeeping and linens, a beauty shop, and arrange transportation to doctors' appointments, with other transportation services as needed, plus the center runs a life enrichment program including social events, wellness activities, and patient-centered support so people stay active and connected. The facility offers both Alzheimer's and dementia care and features safe, controlled spaces, extra safety measures, and a 24-hour call system for emergencies. Rehab services focus on rehabilitation needs, and the center's affiliation with Ahava Healthcare, along with its Joint Commission accreditation, shows some level of oversight, but reports show it's had deficiencies including those related to infection control, abuse, neglect, and exploitation, and inspection reports document times where it didn't meet care requirements. Nurse turnover is high at 62.7%, and staff provide about 4.26 nurse hours per resident each day, which some may want to consider. The center does provide employment opportunities, certified nursing assistant (CNA) training, and social and educational programs, and its membership in groups like the Tennessee Health Care Association and the TNCAL organization means it's involved in ongoing education and standards. Residents get personalized care based on their needs, and the facility offers around-the-clock support for mobility, medical administration, daily activities, and therapy, with the goal of supporting both comfort and recovery.
