Jefferson City Health & Rehabilitation Center sits at 283 W. Broadway Blvd. in Jefferson City, TN, and goes by Jefferson City Health and Rehab Center around town, being known in the local community and is part of the Jefferson County Chamber of Commerce and the Tennessee Health Care Association. The center runs under the management of a team and board of directors, paying close attention to providing health care in a nursing home setting where folks get both short-term rehabilitation and long-term skilled nursing care. The place carries a solid focus on helping people recover, regain independence, or get daily help when ongoing health needs keep stacking up, with round-the-clock skilled nursing staff looking after residents, and it offers everything from physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy, to more specialized things like memory care for Alzheimer's and dementia, therapy programs, help with nutrition, palliative and hospice care, and respite care if a family caregiver needs a break, and then people living here get a chance to join in social activities and events which can brighten the days.
Rooms and areas in the center are set up for comfort and safety, aiming to feel like home, and there's a steady effort to fit care plans to each person's unique health needs, whether someone stays just a short time to recover or calls this place home for the long run. They help both the resident and family members with things like Medicaid eligibility or the application process, walking through what paperwork's needed, and guiding people with the simplified admission process led by the Director of Admissions-it's usually just bringing along things like a photo ID, Social Security, Medicare, and insurance cards, making the transition a bit easier. Medicare Part A is accepted for skilled nursing care for up to 100 days if you've had a qualifying hospital stay of three days and nights, and patients need a physician's notification stating those skilled services are required.
The center runs CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant) training programs, holds community education seminars and conventions, and joins in on legislative meetings, focusing a lot on community connections. Staff members try to provide compassionate, personalized care, and the facility's got state-of-the-art amenities to help people recover, feel comfortable, and be safe. Facility finder services and a resource center give extra help for families and caregivers to answer questions about options and support. Overall, Jefferson City Health & Rehabilitation Center keeps care practical, community-minded, and approachable, supporting seniors with a full range of nursing, therapy, and daily living assistance, giving people a place to heal and live as well as they can.
