Tennova Lafollette Health and Rehab Center sits right next to Lafollette Medical Center on Torrey Road in Lafollette, Tennessee, which makes it easy for residents to get emergency care, lab work, imaging, and pharmacy services if they need them, and inside, folks will find newly renovated private or semi-private rooms with sprinklers for safety and nurses around the clock for both short-term rehab and long-term care. The center holds up to 98 residents and offers a mix of skilled nursing and intermediate care for those who need more help with things like bathing, feeding, dressing, or getting around, and if someone needs wound care, there's a certified nurse for that as well. There's a physical therapy gym, an activities-of-daily-living suite, and several therapies like physical, occupational, speech/language, cognitive, and swallow therapy, plus they have counseling on hand if needed, and they serve nutritious meals every day to everyone, along with a free beauty and barber shop that lets residents keep up with their grooming.
The center helps people recover after stroke, surgery, or an illness with short-term rehab so folks can get home once they're better, and it has a wheelchair-accessible van for transportation, which makes attending group outings and in-house activities easier for residents. Tennova Lafollette offers care for women's health, sleep medicine, orthopedic needs, urology, wound treatment, respiratory support, emergency care, heart and digestive health, cancer care, and behavioral health, as well as outpatient rehabilitation, so there's a good range of medical services on hand. The center is a member of both the Tennessee Health Care Association and the Tennessee Center for Assisted Living, and it has a resource center for people wanting more information about senior care along with a finder service for other healthcare facilities.
The staff is trained for both short-term recovery and long-term support for the very frail, and the center runs CNA training programs for future nurses as well as community education like seminars, a calendar of events, and even a future leaders program. The center has been recognized by CMS with a four-star rating for overall quality and health inspections, and the Tennessee Department of Health has given it positive reports over the years, which shows it's earned a reputation for steady, careful care in a homelike setting.
