Life Care Center of Gray sits at 791 Old Gray Station Road in Gray, Tennessee, and is part of the Life Care Centers of America. The place serves older adults who need different types of care and helps people with short-term stays after a hospital visit or surgery, as well as those who need to make it their home for the long haul because living alone isn't safe anymore. Folks get 24-hour skilled nursing, and the facility has licensed staff who work with doctors, keeping an eye on every resident around the clock, which gives families some relief. There are assisted living services, too, so people who can do some things for themselves can keep a bit of independence, but help's there for things like bathing, getting dressed, or eating if needed.
Life Care Center of Gray has professional and intermediate care, offers speech, physical, and occupational therapy, and has both inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation services, which can help someone get back to daily life after illness or injury. The state-of-the-art therapy gym helps with this, and the staff make custom care plans for every resident. The nursing home also provides post-operative recovery and help with incontinence, diabetic care, and people who can't walk. There's a secured memory care unit for folks living with Alzheimer's or dementia. The environment is clean and friendly, with meal services and common spaces indoors for social gatherings, and plenty of activities to keep residents engaged, including offsite devotional trips for those who want spiritual support.
The facility meets federal standards for Medicare and Medicaid, takes private insurance and Veterans benefits, and has respite care when caregivers need a break. People can use their own insurance if that's what suits them. Residents say the place feels welcoming and there are home-like touches here and there so it doesn't seem so much like a hospital. Staff speak English, and they do what they can to help folks settle in. Life Care Center of Gray is a Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity Provider, giving service to folks from all walks of life.
