Jefferson County Nursing Home, known as Jefferson Park, has been a trusted provider of skilled nursing and rehabilitation services to the East Tennessee community since 1969. With a long-standing commitment to excellence, this facility is more than a traditional nursing home. It is devoted to offering comprehensive long-term care, short-term rehabilitation, and extended healthcare services within a compassionate, community-focused environment. Residents of Jefferson County Nursing Home experience an individualized approach to care, tailored to address their unique needs and circumstances, ensuring that every person is treated with dignity and respect.
The care home offers a diverse range of services and care options designed to accommodate varying levels of need. In addition to providing traditional long-term care, Jefferson County Nursing Home specializes in short-term rehabilitation services aimed at fostering recovery and independence for those requiring temporary support. Residents also benefit from extended health services such as memory care, optometry, and dental offerings, all provided in a supportive setting. These services are available across two convenient East Tennessee locations in Dandridge and White Pine.
At the Dandridge location, residents may choose between a more traditional skilled care environment and the Green House Homes concept. The Green House Homes are a unique living experience within the nursing home, offering a more homelike atmosphere that emphasizes comfort and personalization. Similarly, the White Pine campus features three Green House Homes, accommodating up to 36 residents, and providing the same array of care services as the legacy facility, including therapy, rehabilitation, and extended health services.
The care team at Jefferson County Nursing Home is deeply committed to meeting residents where they are in their journey, respecting their individuality and personal preferences. The facility understands the concerns families face regarding the loss of independence and enjoyment of life upon moving into a care home, and strives to create an environment where residents can genuinely say, “I’m still me.” Activities and programs are thoughtfully developed to engage residents according to their interests, while fostering a sense of community and belonging.
The care home also recognizes the contributions of its dedicated staff through programs such as Employee of the Month, highlighting the commitment and compassion of team members like Cindy Koga, Leslie Ferguson, Stacey White, Melissa Mundy, Karen Scroggs, and Tina Clevenger. This recognition of staff excellence reflects the family-like atmosphere cultivated within the facility. Noteworthy as well are the stories of residents, such as Arlen Allen, a Veteran whose service and patriotism are celebrated within the home. Jefferson County Nursing Home is dedicated to creating meaningful experiences and a positive quality of life for each individual who chooses to call it home.
