Regional One Health Subacute Care serves as a recognized leader in providing specialized inpatient care for individuals recovering from the acute phase of serious illness or injury. The facility’s Skilled Nursing Subacute Unit stands out in the Mid-South for its post-acute medical and rehabilitation services, setting a standard of excellence through a highly qualified team of health care professionals, advanced therapy programs, and an outstanding track record for patient safety and pain management. Drawing on the expertise and resources of the region’s Level-One Trauma Center, Regional One Health Subacute Care is uniquely equipped to care for patients with severe injuries and complex medical needs. The environment is shaped by a deep commitment to supporting both patients and their families with compassion, empathy, and guidance as they navigate the path toward recovery and independence.
The transition to subacute skilled nursing care at Regional One Health takes place after the patient stabilizes from the initial hospitalization but still requires intensive medical attention. The focus is on facilitating a continued path to wellness, where the primary goal is to strengthen a patient’s health to the point where they can safely advance to more rigorous rehabilitation programs or return home with ongoing support. Admission is tailored for adults who do not require ventilation, hemodialysis, isolation in negative pressure rooms, chemotherapy, or prenatal care, ensuring the facility provides focused, high-quality care to those most likely to benefit from its specialized offerings. Patients often present with a range of complex conditions, including strokes, head injuries, dementia, fractures, paralysis, and other traumatic injuries.
Upon arrival, every patient at Regional One Health consults with a board-certified physician to establish a personalized treatment plan. Physicians maintain close oversight, visiting each patient at least twice weekly to continuously refine therapy and medical interventions in response to changing needs. The multidisciplinary staff includes licensed nurses, rehabilitation therapists, and social workers, all working collaboratively to deliver skilled nursing care that encompasses everything from wound management, IV therapies, and vigilant monitoring, to rehabilitation goals and daily living activities. The Director of Nursing, a specialist in subacute and skilled nursing care, leads a dedicated team, providing around-the-clock support with a nurse-to-patient and certified nursing assistant-to-patient ratio of one to seven, ensuring attentive, individualized care at all times.
Rehabilitation therapy at Regional One Health is designed to empower patients to reclaim independence. At the heart of this program are experienced therapists who offer physical therapy to restore motor functions like walking and movement, occupational therapy for everyday self-care activities such as eating and grooming, and speech therapy to improve communication and cognitive function. Patients benefit from intensive, individualized therapy up to three hours a day, five days a week. In addition, specialized offerings such as certified lymphedema therapy support those suffering from swelling, pain, or discomfort, using methods that include exercise, wrapping, massage, and compression.
Recognizing that recovery is multidimensional, Regional One Health Subacute Care enriches daily life with group and individual activities. Their multi-generational programs encompass technology-based engagements, creative arts, games, movies, spiritual, and celebratory events, all intended to foster a vibrant, supportive, and home-like atmosphere that enhances emotional well-being and encourages social interaction.
The state-of-the-art facility includes eight private rooms, each furnished with an additional sleep surface for a support person, as well as six semi-private rooms, all crafted to offer comfort and a healing environment. Patients can also access a full complement of specialists and services, including pharmacy and clinical nutrition, without having to leave the facility.
Regional One Health Subacute Care is committed to helping each patient achieve the highest possible level of independence, whether that means advancing to further inpatient rehabilitation or transitioning safely home with appropriate support services. Their proven record of moving patients to home settings efficiently exemplifies their focus on positive outcomes. The dedication and expertise of the staff, combined with a family-like approach and a comprehensive offering of medical and rehabilitative services, make Regional One Health Subacute Care a cornerstone in the continuum of recovery for individuals facing major health challenges.
