Yalobusha General Hospital & Nursing Home

Yalobusha General Hospital & Nursing Home, located in Water Valley, has been helping folks in Yalobusha County and nearby places for over 50 years, and this place isn't just a hospital since it also has a 122-bed nursing home along with a hospital that holds 26 beds, and you'll notice it's part of Yalobusha Health Services, which is what they call their bigger community health system, so you'll find all sorts of services here like mental health care, outpatient and inpatient care, emergency help, rehabilitation therapy, and care for people who need to stay for a longer time, and though the building's had recent work done to make it nicer and more comfortable, the people here still keep that same down-to-earth feeling, thinking of their mission as "Neighbors Caring for Neighbors," which shows up in how the staff-over 300 of them including doctors, nurse practitioners, and other medical folks-greet you with kindness and treat everyone a little like family. There's also a focus on providing services through Communicare for people dealing with behavioral health, developmental disabilities, or substance abuse, and with five different clinics, residents and patients have easy access to things like surgery, maternity services, diagnostic imaging, dermatology, anesthesia, cardiology, orthopaedics, neurology, geriatrics, and nursing care, plus you'll find they offer outdoor spaces so folks can get some fresh air, and since this is what's called a critical access facility, it meets certain standards to keep care close by for rural residents. The place keeps up with a good charting system for managing medical records, tries hard to make every patient feel at home, and truly believes in good neighborly care, and you won't get lost in the shuffle because even if it's a hospital and a nursing home, the staff is always aiming to offer patient-centered care in a welcoming, family-like setting. If you ever drive by during business hours, which run Monday to Friday from 8 in the morning to 4:30 in the afternoon, you'll probably see folks coming and going in a place that's meant to feel both modern and warm, and whether it's general hospital services, long-term skilled care, or something more specialized, the people here try to make sure you're treated with concern and respect.
