Park Rest Hardin County Health

Park Rest Hardin County Health sits near the Tennessee River in Savannah, right by Hardin Park Medical Center, and you'll find it's a county-owned nursing facility managed by Hardin Home where about 36 residents live each day in a place that's got 62 certified beds, so there's usually room, and as of June 2025, about 25 beds are open. This place gives round-the-clock nursing care, memory care for people with Alzheimer's, and help for folks who need assistance with everyday things like bathing, dressing, getting around, and taking medicine, plus there's a team that includes a manager, administrator, MDS coordinator, and dietary supervisor. Residents can get help from case workers for setting up doctor visits or rehab therapy, and there's personal care for those using walkers or needing transfers, and the staff speaks English and focuses on each person's needs. The building has emergency alert systems, private rooms with bathrooms, air conditioning, cable TV, kitchenettes, phones, and internet, while common spaces include a dining room with a professional chef and restaurant-style meals, gardens, walking paths, a spa/wellness area, an arts room, a library, and a movie theater, so there's plenty to do with movie nights, fitness classes, gardening, and special celebrations like birthdays and holidays. You'll also see regular group outings, outdoor programs, art, cooking, and music classes, and spaces for residents to organize their own activities or keep pets if allowed. The staff offers help with laundry, cleaning, meal prep, transportation, and move-in, and for people needing care after surgery or an injury, respite care is available. The facility accepts Medicaid and Medicare, and follows state and federal programs for seniors, but the most recent inspection found four deficiencies, including problems with pharmacy services like labeling and storing drugs, use of feeding tubes without proper reasons or consent, not always having a registered nurse on duty enough hours or as full-time nursing director, plus issues with respecting residents' rights to dignity and communication. Even so, the nurse staffing here averages 4.10 hours per resident per day, a bit more than the state average, and the center tries to make sure everyone's care matches their needs, including supporting independent living and assisted living for seniors who want less help or more freedom. While the community's mission is to care for residents' physical, mental, and emotional well-being in a safe and home-like place, its inspection history shows that families may want to review recent reports and ask about how the facility addresses any quality and rights concerns.
