I don’t often leave theses types of reviews, but I was compelled to come share my experience with others. SHC of Clarksville was so great for my husband . He has had a plethora of injuries that you wouldn’t believe. The therapy team was so wonderful at helping her recover from all of his injuries sustained in the accident. When she was struck by lighting we thought there was no chance he’d get back to normal. He has never been in a facility before and we were worried about him not being comfortable during his rehab, but the staff treated him so well and was very kind through the whole process. Brandi the administartor was great at taking care of all the concerns I had and really eased our minds. The food at the facility was very great and we always could get something that we wanted, so much better than hospital food! If you live in clarksville or anywhere in TN I would recommend staying here if you want to rehab from an injury as the rehab department was the best part. We’d give it 10 stars if possible.

My mom was at AHC Clarksville for rehab. They were all super nice and they tried to get to her as quickly as possible when she needed something. It’s slightly rundown, but it was still a good place for her to be. Everybody seemed super nice, the therapist that worked with her was good. They catered to her, as far as physical therapy went. It just seemed a little on the shabby side, but I don’t know what nursing homes can do about that. This was a few years ago so they could have done something by now, but I haven’t been there since then. They could freshen up the hallways though, like a fresh coat of paint or something. The room she was in had plenty of space. It was well-lit too. (read less)

My mother is here. The food is the only thing she does not like, but she came from an assisted living place where it was different. It’s the only nursing home I’ve ever been in that doesn’t smell like urine when you walk in. They had a huge Christmas party for the residents where they handed out gifts. My mom is taken well cared of there. She is clean, and they are trying to keep her safe. I have been very impressed with them. (read less)

Financial Assistance for Nursing Home Care in Clarksville, Tennessee

Many seniors and their families use some form of financial assistance to help them pay for nursing care. The main options available are Medicare, Medicaid, and veterans benefits. These programs can be complicated, especially when it comes to benefit terms. Below, we give a brief overview of how these programs may be used towards paying for skilled nursing care.

• Medicare: Medicare will typically cover all skilled nursing costs for the first 20 days of one’s stay in a nursing home and a portion of the costs until day 100. After 100 days in a skilled nursing facility, Medicare will not cover any part of the cost of the stay. While this is adequate when short-term care is needed, those in need of long-term care will need to either pay out-of-pocket or use another source of financial assistance.
• Medicaid: Medicaid covers most of the costs of living in a skilled nursing facility for those who qualify. Care, room, and board are covered with no time limit, but residents may be charged for extras like specially prepared food or cosmetic services. Medicaid eligibility standards are strict and complex, so not all seniors are eligible for Medicaid benefits.
• Veterans Benefits: Veterans receiving a VA pension may also be eligible for the Aid and Attendance benefit administered by the VA. Aid and Attendance is a monthly allowance that beneficiaries may use to pay for their long-term care, including skilled nursing care.

If these options aren’t available to you, check if your loved one has long-term care insurance or contact your Area Agency on Aging to ask about any local financial assistance programs for seniors.
