NHC Healthcare - Pulaski has 102 beds and gives both short-term rehab and long-term care for adults and seniors, so people who need skilled nursing after surgery or a long illness can get help as they recover, and those who need to stay longer can get care for health needs over time. The staff there includes physicians, nurse practitioners, nurses, and therapists who look after residents around the clock, and there's help with daily things like eating, bathing, dressing, and grooming, which is important when people can't do everything for themselves. The center provides specialized therapy services-physical, occupational, and speech therapy-in a rehabilitation facility that helps people get stronger, move better, and communicate if they're having trouble after injuries, stroke, joint replacement, or serious sickness. They focus on making care plans that fit each person, and the medical social services team helps families figure out the next steps, whether it's moving back home, finding more support, or understanding resources.
There's both inpatient and outpatient therapy, and home health services can follow you after discharge, like medication help or wound care, which many families find helpful when someone goes home but still needs a nurse some days. People with memory troubles, like those from dementia, can get special help, and there's assistance for people who want independent living or assisted living, so many types of needs are covered in one place. If someone's in their last months of life, Caris Hospice offers comfort and support right at the center, focusing on dignity and peace for both the person and their family.
The facility gets reviews about nurse and doctor communication, how staff answers call buttons, talking about medicine, giving information on recovery, and keeping rooms and bathrooms clean, with infection data reviewed for things like blood clots after surgery, accidental injuries, bloodstream infections, and C. diff or MRSA infections. People can also use adult day services or home care if they don't want to stay full-time. NHC Healthcare - Pulaski is recognized among the top in extended care hospitals, has a setting that supports learning for healthcare students, and runs programs to train skilled workers, so the staff tends to stay up to date. They offer special nutrition programs, and make an effort to create an environment that supports both comfort and recovery, which helps everyone from those needing just a little help after an operation to those who need a nurse any time, day or night. Appointments are booked by phone.
