Tlc Nursing Center sits in Oneonta, Alabama, and stands as a faith-based nursing care facility within a larger Continuing Care Retirement Community. The center has 103 beds all Medicare and Medicaid certified, which means folks who need care don't have to move if their needs change, and the beds fill up with those looking for both short-term rehab and long-term care. Residents get help with daily needs like bathing, dressing, moving about, and managing medicines, with full nursing supervision around the clock, plus licensed therapists on hand seven days a week to help with therapies-physical, occupational, and speech. You've got rooms that'll feel homey, with private bathrooms, furnished spaces, kitchenettes, air conditioning, telephones, cable TV, and Wi-Fi for connection, while larger community spaces include a library, arts room, fitness and spa room, activity and game rooms, and peaceful gardens with walking paths.
The caregivers, nurses, and staff keep an "excellence attitude" by being helpful, friendly, and responsive, and leadership like the administrator and director of nursing often walk the halls, making sure concerns don't go unnoticed. Family and resident councils help address issues big and small, and specialized programs run for Alzheimer's, pain management, amputee care, and arthritis support. Safety matters, so there's a full emergency alert system and a wanderguard system for those who may wander, especially helpful for people with dementia. There's a Medical Director and associated physicians to give regular oversight, plus on-site psychiatric and psychological care.
Dining services mean folks can eat home-cooked meals in dining rooms or their own quarters, and the meals follow special diets, like those for diabetes or food allergies. They've got a professional chef and can accommodate special food restrictions. Social life stays lively with community and resident-run programs, movie nights, faith-based activities, music, and all-day scheduled events. Amenities include beauty and barber shops, laundry, housekeeping, transportation, move-in coordination, mail delivery, resident trust accounts, and a concierge service for extra help when needed.
The facility offers a quiet, rural setting, but you'd still find it's close enough to town if you need anything, and it's meant to feel a bit like home with rocking chairs on the front porch and open dining areas. Tlc Nursing Center emphasizes a holistic approach to care, making sure the physical, emotional, social, and spiritual needs of residents all get attention, and care plans get personalized for each person to try to reach their best possible health and independence. The admissions team helps people work through the paperwork, whether for Medicaid, Medicare, or insurance, and skilled nursing as well as rehab services are always available. The facility is recognized with a 5-star CMS rating (putting it in the top 10% of nursing homes), an AHCA Bronze Quality Award, and a US News and World Report Best Long-Term Care Nursing Home for 2025 listing. Service stretches across Blount County and north central Alabama, focusing on steady and supportive care in a loving, Christian environment.
