Brown County Health and Living Community

Happy Living

What a fantastic place! Brown County Health and Living has the most caring team of staff you will find in this area. I am a daughter of a current resident. My mother fell ill very quickly and lived in another State. The out-of-State facility my mother was taken to from the hospital before transferring here was nothing like it is here! I wanted my mother near me and we needed to take immediate action and this place helped me every step of the way. I had no clue where to start and they held my hand every step we took. Starting with the Admissions department, ALWAYS friendly and helpful and as I said before, they helped with the process of transferring my mother out of state which was not an easy process. But not one time did they let me down! The Administrator, ALWAYS goes that extra step for us, when we might have a question that has stumped me, she is always willing to help us figure it out. The Nursing and Aides staff, what can I say but AMAZING! They have tough jobs and I appreciate them so much. They have the kindest hearts and always have a smile on their faces. They are genuine people that really do care! The cleaning and maintenance staff always make it nice and clean and they work hard to accommodate any request we might have. The dining room is very pleasant with all the windows that overlook the beautiful country-side scenery of Brown County, and what a view to enjoy looking out each day while you are eating your meals. The cooking staff makes delicious, nutritious meals, and my mother says that they make the best desserts, that is what she likes best! Her room overlooks a beautiful gazebo area where flowers are planted all summer long. When my mother entered her room she stated it looked like a picture out of Better Homes and Gardens! Throughout the day, the facility provides a full agenda of activities that my mother can attend. They accommodate all types of activates for all physical circumstances. Before her illness, my mother lived in an assisted community and by far, Brown County Health and Living offers a lot more for her than her previous facility provided. To attest to some of the family-surrounding actives, the staff puts on a summer picnic and a holiday event and on occasion, they even take rides around Brown County! This is taking that extra step that most places won’t do. It is the small things that make a big impression! The therapy department is patient and thorough with my mother’s needs. I appreciate their can-do attitudes in assisting with my mother’s health. I chose this facility because it was a smaller facility and the facility is extremely friendly. This place has gone out of their way to make us feel so welcome. When we first arrived from out of state, we were greeted by a hug and we knew this place was more than a facility, it was staffed by kindness and love. If you have a loved one who needs more assistance than you can provide them, I would totally recommend this facility to you!

What a great place! They have the most caring staff and the therapy team is amazing. With the care I received from Brown County after my knee replacement, I was able to return home after only 14days! I recommend this facility to everyone!

Just stay away. This place over the last year has went downhill very quickly. The staff is uncompassionate , all the good ones are gone. My mother has been treated terrible and will be leaving as soon as I can get her out of there. The location is great, close to downtown Nashville. And I chose it because it was a smaller facility and I hoped the environment would be friendly. While there are some good ones, they don't have much daily interaction with the residents. The administrator is never there, and I can't get ahold of her to even have a meeting. There hasn't been a director of nursing to speak with, and the woman I did talk to was rude. Like I was bothering her. Sad to see such a great community go down the pots.

Brown County Health and Living's location was convenient for us. I lived in the same town as the facility so I knew the people in the area. The rooms were basic. They kept them clean. They were big enough for 2 beds. There was nothing special about them but it was important to me that the staff did take care of their facility. If there were any complaints it would be that the food wasn't great. The people seemed to be very caring though. I felt they addressed my parents' needs and they were always there to listen if I had any concerns. They made sure I was happy with the facility. There were times that the atmosphere seemed depressing since it's a nursing home. My father especially didn't feel like there was much for him. His condition wasn't as bad as my mom's, therefore he felt kind of isolated. My mom didn't seem to complain about the services though.
