Crockett County Nursing Home, owned by Crockett County Nursing Home, Inc., has served the local community for over 50 years and has 121 certified beds, though as of June 2025 only 59 of those beds are certified for use. The facility runs with a 66.3% nurse turnover rate, which is worth noting, and staff provide 4.54 nurse hours per resident per day. There've been deficiencies related to infection control, medication error rates, and helping residents with daily activities. This nursing home accepts Medicare and Medicaid, and offers both short-term and long-term care including physical, occupational, and speech therapy, as well as more specialized medical help like dialysis support, diabetic care, wound management, and stroke care, so people with more medical needs are covered. Residents get 24-hour nursing care with staff that includes physicians, pharmacists, dietitians, activity coordinators, and therapists, and there's an option for home health care and adult day care for those who need it.
The grounds feel secure, with an ankle bracelet alarm system for memory care residents, and the facility is designed to be comfortable and homelike, with private rooms, each with a private bathroom, cable TV, phone, air conditioning, kitchenettes, and Wi-Fi. There are outdoor spaces, walking paths, gardens, and various community rooms like a library, music room, activity room, and a fitness room, so there's always something to do. People enjoy regular social and recreational programs, movie nights, musical performances, games, animal shows, worship services, meditation, and Bible study, and residents can visit a beauty shop on-site for haircuts and other services, usually free once a month. Housekeeping, laundry, transportation, and parking are provided, and there's an option for families to do laundry at home using iron-on labels.
Meals are served restaurant-style all day, with choices for allergies and diabetes, overseen by a certified dietitian who adjusts menus to fit different tastes, so nutrition needs get met. Staff help with activities of daily living, such as bathing, dressing, transfers, and medication management, since many residents need extra support in these areas, though it's important to know there've been recent deficiencies in this type of care. Physical, occupational, and speech therapies happen both for rehabilitation and ongoing treatment, and there are subacute and restorative nursing care options. The therapy hall's recently been renovated, with private rooms for therapy patients, giving those who need rehab a place to recover. The nursing staff cover both 12- and 16-hour shifts so someone's always available. There's a daily activities schedule, emergency alert system in each room, and social workers on hand to help with admissions, discharge, and coordinating care. While the staff is described as compassionate and the environment is focused on building connections among residents, the reported deficiencies in infection control, daily care, and medication error rates are concerns families should consider when choosing a facility.
