Life Care Center of Tullahoma sits on North Jackson Street in Tullahoma, Tennessee, and falls under the larger Life Care Centers of America network, a group managing over 200 facilities in more than 25 states. Mr. Alex Butaud serves as the Executive Director, and the center provides both short-term and long-term care options, including skilled nursing and post-operative recovery care, with an in-house team of trained caregivers, therapists, and nurses offering round-the-clock attention for residents needing regular help. The center has both nursing facility services and an assisted living facility, so people can choose the level of care that fits their needs, and they focus a lot on making individualized care plans, which get made by a group of therapists and nurses who know what folks might need to feel better or grow stronger.
There's a big focus on rehabilitation, so you'll find both inpatient and outpatient therapy services, including physical, occupational, and speech therapies, plus special therapy tools, like the VitalStim system for swallowing and a Biodex Balance System SD, which helps people work with balance and strength. Additional medical attention's available, such as wound management and suction or oxygen therapies for those who need a little bit more intensive care. The speech language pathology unit means folks who have trouble talking or swallowing after an illness can get help right on site, which brings peace of mind for families.
As a licensed skilled nursing and rehabilitation center, the place offers all kinds of housing arrangements and amenities, making things as comfortable and homelike as possible, and they encourage residents to give feedback, saying it helps them make improvements. There's a blog where you can keep up with stories from around the building, and they post updates or share photos in the online gallery. Community connections matter to them, so they've got a Facebook page and use Meta's messaging systems for families and friends to stay in touch or learn what's happening at the center. If someone's interested in working there, there's a careers section online, along with an easy-to-use form for reaching out with questions. The center's goal remains steady in trying to provide the highest quality of care while keeping a welcoming environment where each person's needs stay at the center of every plan.
