Life Care Center of Morgan County

Life Care Center of Morgan County sits in Wartburg, Tennessee, about an hour west of Knoxville, and takes care of older adults who need daily medical help or therapy after surgery or illness, and some folks call it the highest-rated facility in town with a 7.7 out of 10 average and a 3-star rating from Medicare. The center offers long-term care for people with chronic health needs, and the staff provides 24-hour skilled nursing, wound care, suction, oxygen therapy, and both inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation programs like physical therapy, occupational therapy, and a speech-language pathology unit, plus short-term recovery for those who need it. There's a secured Alzheimer's and dementia unit for residents who need memory support, and rooms come as studios, semi-private, or shared layouts so people can choose what suits them best, with individualized care plans put together by the on-site therapists and nurses to match each person's health needs. The community belongs to the Life Care Centers of America network, which runs over 200 locations, and it has some resort-style touches that aim to keep things comfortable, like communal areas where residents can socialize and amenities meant to help people feel at ease. People who live there usually get a mix of nursing care, assisted living, and some retirement living services, and there are regular updates about daily life at the community on their Facebook page. The center's focus stays on safe, comfortable living along with reliable medical care for those who can't manage on their own anymore, and care programs look to help residents stay as healthy and active as possible for as long as they can.
