Washington Care Center sits at 1920 Lisa Drive Ext. in Greenville, MS, and folks call it a nursing home with 60 beds where the focus is plain-giving good care for seniors who need help with different kinds of health needs because some folks need long-term care with regular medical checks, some might need short-term help to get back on their feet after a hospital stay, a fall, or a surgery, and others might need hospice or dementia care or just a safe place to stay for a while to give their family a break. The Center handles assisted living and independent living, too, so you see a mix of folks, and staff pay attention to what each person really needs by making personal care plans, helping with bathing, dressing, taking medicine, eating, and everything in between, all under the watch of nurses and doctors day and night.
They've worked to make things more comfortable by updating living areas and making more space inside and out, trying to get a homelike feel, and rooms look clean and easy to move around in, especially for wheelchairs or walkers. People with memory challenges can get care that's meant for them, and there's always focus on keeping everyone safe through barrier precautions and good supervision. You'll notice many activities on the calendar if you peek in, so most days there are things to do, which helps folks stay busy, and there's some attention given to wellness-body, mind, and spirit-though life here stays steady and simple.
Rehab services take care of those bouncing back from illness or injury, and the staff is steady and sticks to their role of helping folks heal or live as well as possible, no matter their needs. The Center's part of the Mississippi Health Care Association, which means it stays up to date with basic standards on care and safety, and families say the place keeps up with what's needed-medication help, wound care, palliative and hospice support if the time comes, and always a careful eye for each resident's needs. Residents rate it with about four stars, based on several reviews, which means people generally feel well cared for, even with the ups and downs that come with aging. The idea is for everyone here to feel at home while staying safe and getting the help they need, day or night.
