NHC Healthcare - Athens

NHC HealthCare - Athens sits as an 86-bed post-acute center that's part of the known NHC Healthcare chain, and the place runs on a weekday schedule from 8:00 to 17:00, though nursing care is available round the clock, so you'll find skilled nursing, short-term rehab, and long-term care all under one roof, and they do a lot more than people might expect, like offering therapy in their own rehabilitation facility, which covers physical, occupational, and speech therapy, and they address recovery from strokes, joint replacements, heart procedures, and spine rehab, with the option for inpatient and outpatient therapy so folks can keep up recovery whether staying over or just visiting for care, and the therapy team is full of licensed professionals who make personalized care plans, and there's extra help for Parkinson's, amputees, pain rehab, and wound care too. The place includes Caris Hospice for those needing end-of-life care that looks after the body, mind, and spirit, and if someone prefers to stay at home, NHC HomeCare sends medical teams out for wound care, physical therapy, medication help, and post-surgery support, which is especially good for chronic disease and rehabilitation needs, and you'll notice speech therapy covers a range of needs, from swallowing problems treated with VitalStim and PENS, to help with cognition and daily communication, and there are audiogram and balance tests like ENG if folks have trouble hearing or get dizzy. People get support with everyday things like bathing, eating, dressing, and moving around the place, and certified nurse aides there offer personal care with respect and patience, and if you want training for that career, the facility even has a CNA training program open. The healthcare team, which has physicians, nurse practitioners, and therapists, isn't working on their own either because they coordinate with medical social services for help finding resources and programs in the local community. Seniors with changing health get plans built just for them so their needs are matched, and memory care plus assisted living are available too, with amenities focused on comfort and easy navigation-things like systems for finding your way and accessibility tools come built in. NHC HealthCare - Athens is set up to serve seniors across multiple states with a focus on long-term care, skillful nursing, and comfort, and they welcome families to look things up on their website or stop in on Facebook, and for those who value trusted experience, the NHC name's been part of senior care for more than 50 years, holding a recognized spot in the Tennessee Health Care Association, so you'll find a broad set of healthcare options and a dedicated team no matter the needs.
