Atmore Nursing Center sits at 715 E Laurel St in Atmore, Alabama, and it's a place that gives a lot of types of care-now, there's the Atmore Nursing Care Center for skilled nursing, therapy, and 24-hour support, and then there's also a separate spot for pediatric and adolescent care called Atmore Pediatric & Adolescent, so you'll see different services for different needs all right here. Folks living here get help with daily things like bathing, dressing, eating, and medicines; there's also assisted living for those who want more independence but still need some help, and there's memory care in secure areas for those living with memory loss, with staff around all day and night to help and keep an eye out. There are 100 beds split between private and semi-private rooms (couples can stay together sometimes), and there's a quiet, home-like feeling with cozy places inside and out, a garden, patio, and spots to sit and visit or read.
This place gives physical, occupational, and speech therapy-there's a rehab gym, too-and a team that's made up of registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, certified nursing assistants, social workers, physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech therapists, registered dietitians, and recreational therapists. Residents get meals that are nutritious and hearty, with Southern favorites made by a registered dietitian, plus special diets as needed, so meals can remind some people of home. Care plans get made just for each resident, after talking things through with their doctor, and care includes wound care, medication management, supervision by doctors, pharmacy help, and visits from specialists like eye doctors and dentists. There's a focus here on health, comfort, and keeping a sense of connection-with the social worker acting as a go-between for families, too, because medical, emotional, and social needs all matter.
There are lots of ways to keep busy, keep moving, and keep in touch with old hobbies or learn new things-residents can go to arts and crafts, gardening, movies, music, social gatherings, and group exercise; there's a library, beauty and barber shop, places to worship, and transportation for doctor visits or outings. People can get short-term stays through respite care if needed, and if someone wants to mostly look after themselves-more like independent living-there are safe and affordable choices for that as well. The center takes Medicare, Medicaid, private pay, most insurance policies, and some long-term care insurance, meaning many can find a way that works for them. Licensed by state and federal agencies and family-owned, Atmore Nursing Center aims to blend medical care, daily help, activities, and a warm setting so residents can feel safe, comfortable, and cared for through each day, with someone nearby if something comes up.
