Piedmont Health Care Center

Piedmont Health Care Center sits at the foot of Dugger Mountain in Calhoun County, Alabama, with a 5-acre campus that holds a 91-bed, 5-Star rated skilled nursing facility, a Memory Care facility, an Alzheimer's/Dementia Unit, and Dugger Mountain Assisted Living, and everything's operated by The Piedmont Health Care Authority, a nonprofit group with board members who serve without pay and who take care to offer different services matched to each resident's needs, whether you're looking for independent living, assisted living, nursing home care, or memory care. Folks can get outpatient therapy and rehabilitation, get treated for minor burns or cuts, have physical exams like DOT physicals, deal with medication management if someone has depression or heart disease, or take advantage of diagnostic tools like EKGs, hearing screenings, and developmental screenings, so you'll see that the services cover simple sick visits, long-term nursing care, and even birth control or drug screenings if needed, and you can find chronic disease management, preventive care, and breathing treatments for conditions like COPD, diabetes, ear infections, anxiety disorder, and ADD/ADHD. Residents and patients can find some peace in the Open Spaces Sacred Places Garden, a healing spot on the grounds that's there for quiet moments and fresh air, and the whole place tries to be both nurturing and stimulating no matter your level of care, with 24-hour nursing and special supports for memory loss. The Center takes Medicaid for those who qualify, offers tours if you'd like to see staff or amenities, and connects you to resources and information about costs or availability, and that way it makes sure people can find care for themselves or their loved ones no matter what their health situation might be.
