NHC Healthcare - Smithville Assisted Living operates as a for-profit nursing home under National Healthcare Corporation and is also affiliated with the Tennessee Health Care Association, and folks usually see about 80 residents each day but there are 114 certified beds available and 120 beds for inpatient care, so it has room for people who need both short-term and long-term options, and the facility sits in a quiet spot meant to help with healing and recovery while nursing staff deliver 24/7 skilled care with a nurse turnover rate a bit lower than the state average; though, actual nurse hours per resident per day fall a little under what you'd see elsewhere in Tennessee. The building includes a fully equipped rehabilitation facility for physical, occupational, and speech therapies, and provides inpatient and outpatient therapy choices, so people can work on getting stronger, talking or eating better, or regaining independence following illness or surgery, and the rehabilitation programs use state-of-the-art equipment but always follow personalized treatment plans created by a team including physicians, nurses, and therapists, which keeps things focused on both physical recovery and a sense of emotional well-being.
Folks living here, or those here just for a while, get help with daily activities like eating, bathing, dressing, and grooming if needed, and there's CNA training going on at the facility too, which keeps the staff up-to-date, and the place also has a variety of amenities and tries to keep the environment comfortable and supportive, aiming for the kind of place where people feel empowered and respected, while medical social services help families and residents figure out the confusing parts of healthcare decisions or emotional needs, both in the building and with in-home support. The facility provides home healthcare services through NHC HomeCare that cover personal care, therapy, skilled nursing, medication help, wound care, and even post-surgical support so residents who return home can keep getting the attention they need, and for folks who need end-of-life support, Caris Hospice offers compassionate care that tries to keep comfort, dignity, and spiritual needs in the front of everyone's minds.
NHC Healthcare - Smithville has experienced inspectors document ten deficiencies in recent visits, including problems with resident assessment and care planning as well as keeping resident information safe, so it's not without issues, but staff aim to provide around-the-clock compassionate care, create clear and detailed individual care plans, and offer both short-term and long-term care programs for people with different health needs. Management has been steady with Gregory Bidwell and Robert Ussery holding managerial responsibility for years, and Ryan Vaden now serves as the facility's designated administrator. The facility keeps operational hours on weekdays from 8 in the morning to 5 in the evening, and further location details or other information can be found on their website.
