Tallahatchie General Hospital - ECF sits in Grenada County and serves as a government-county owned nursing home that focuses on offering many healthcare services for seniors and those in need of extra support, and when someone needs help with both short-term and long-term care, the facility provides options like skilled nursing, respite care for caregivers, rehabilitation, hospice care, and emergency department services, so people don't have to travel far for help. The building has 98 beds and 94 private rooms, and those private rooms come with things like private bathrooms, cable TV, kitchenettes, telephones, air conditioning, Wi-Fi, and they're furnished, which helps people keep their independence and dignity while they recover or get settled. The Extended Care Facility (ECF) inside Tallahatchie General Hospital is a specific care unit where residents get specialized care, and folks who need extra attention can stay in a secure unit with more one-on-one help. There's also a place called the James C. Kennedy Wellness Center and TGH Wellness Center, and the hospital also runs a pharmacy and clinics like Charleston Clinic, Holcomb Clinic, and Tutwiler Clinic, making care more accessible with extended hours, so residents can see a doctor without trouble.
The hospital does a lot of therapy and rehab-there's speech, physical, occupational, cardiac, and orthopedic therapy, wound care, pain management, diabetes support, and nutrition counseling, as well as lymphedema care, stroke and amputee recovery, and both inpatient and outpatient programs. People get help with daily activities like transferring, bathing, and dressing, and staff provide medication management, lab work, and radiology, plus there's a 24-hour call system and 12-16 hour nursing shifts to make sure everyone stays safe, and supervision remains a constant. Meals get served restaurant-style in a dining room, and people who need special diets, like for diabetes or allergies, can eat safely too, while being able to join in with daily activities, community events, music programs, arts and crafts, games, and even movie nights in the movie theater or activities in the activity room and fitness room. There's a library, garden, walking paths, and wellness or spa room for downtime, and transportation and parking help people get around when they need it. The place accepts Medicare and Medicaid and supports community health with programs like Helping Hands, making it affordable for most families.
People living here benefit from the hospital's high standards, as it's earned an A+ in recent government inspections with hardly any deficiencies, and a historical B+ grade, which shows a regular focus on quality over the years, though there are no current resident or family councils at this facility. The staff follow civil rights laws closely and treat people with respect, focusing on improving experiences for residents and their families, aiming for good customer service every day. With swingbed, inpatient, and outpatient rehabilitation options, the Intensive Outpatient - Mental Health Therapy program, and other special treatment programs, Tallahatchie General Hospital - ECF tries to cover many needs under one roof, from health emergencies to long recoveries, all within a familiar community setting.
