Life Care Center of Centerville

Life Care Center of Centerville sits at 112 Dickson Road in Centerville, TN, and folks who come here find both skilled nursing and rehabilitation care with about 66 residents staying on any given day, though they've got space for up to 132. Managed by Life Care Centers of America, Inc. since 2004 and owned mostly by Forrest Preston, the place has a nurse turnover rate of around 31.7% and nurses average about 3.89 hours per resident per day. There's a team of in-house therapists and nurses giving around-the-clock skilled nursing care, along with oxygen therapy and both inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation for folks who need help recovering after a hospital stay, surgery, or accident. They also run a dementia unit, do wound care, offer hospice and bariatric services, and have short-term, long-term, respite, and post-operative recovery programs, so they do cover a pretty wide range. In the building, you'll see a beauty salon and barbershop, courtyards where people can sit and chat, facility chefs who prepare meals, cable televisions in rooms, and even a life care bus that takes residents out from time to time. There's CNA training on site, career opportunities for those interested in working with elders, and staff who put together care plans tailored just for each resident's goals. Folks can take a tour if they're thinking about moving in. Now, inspection reports list 17 deficiencies here including some concerning ones, with failures to label or store medicine properly, not always responding well to reports of abuse or neglect, and not reporting things like neglect or theft quickly enough. There's also been one infection-related deficiency in recent checks. For those looking to stay in the loop, there's a Facebook page, a blog, and a gallery with updates and photos about daily life and services at the center. The setting's usually described as serene, and the facility has both state-of-the-art therapy equipment and in-house staff, but families and future residents might want to look at recent inspection reports and staff turnover to get the full picture.
