The Best Nursing Home Communities in Coffee County, TN

" My brother is currently in skilled nursing (after surgery) at Glen Oaks. He is being cared for by a wonderful team of people. He is receiving wound care, and physical and occupational therapy. He is being monitored and assisted per his needs, and never misses a meal. I am unable to visit because of Covid-19 restrictions, but am able to FaceTime with him with help from the lovely young woman who is the Social Director. Our family is grateful for the very hardworking staff at Glen Oaks."

"My father was at Elk River Health and Nursing Center of Winchester for skilled nursing after his hospital stay. It's more of a rehabilitation/skilled nursing, and it's two to a room. They do rehabilitation like physical, occupational, and speech. That's where a lot of inpatients that need rehabilitation after their hospital stay go initially. They were very expensive. My dad didn't like the food there, and he said that one of the techs was not very kind to him and would rough handle him. He didn't like that. My mother got upset with them because they tried to put other medications on my father, which made him drowsy, and he wasn't getting much rehabilitation because of it. My dad wasn't going to be happy there. He wanted to get out of there. Of course, they wanted him out, too. It's more of a nursing home than assisted living because that's exactly what it is. They're in the bed. The bad thing about it is you got all these nurses and techs, but if they don't have the rehabilitation people there working with them to get them up, they're just laying in bed and they're getting the medications and all of that. If I got older, I would not want to go there. Some staff members were OK and some were not. They're supposed to provide a high level of care. It's very expensive, but the value of what they get is not good. Medicare was paying for him for up to 100 days, so my dad didn't have to pay when he was there. When my mother asked them, "Should he have to stay beyond that, how much would it cost?" They said it would be about $109,000 a year based on what my dad's needs were. That's a whole lot of money. You have techs, nurses, and rehabilitation people, so there were lots of high-level staff. Elk River, for that kind of money for what he was getting, not liking the food, and then one or two people rough handling him, then that's a 1 on value."

"Too Many sandwiches are served to the residents. For Sunday lunch on March 16, 2014 a hot dog was served!! Hot dogs are inappropriate for a Sunday lunch PLUS hot dogs are choking hazards for the elderly. "

"My father is in Signature Healthcare of Monteagle Rehab & Wellness Center for three months now. It's been good. The staff has been very good. They call me when he's going to the hospital, he's fallen from his bed, or if he needs extra care. He loves their spaghetti. He is in a room by himself because they said that that was the best care for him. There's two beds (my dad's in one). They have the wheelchair. They have a dresser. They have a mirror. He can lift the curtains to see outside. The grounds are OK; the inside is OK. I like the nurses. They keep me informed of everything. They're rather good."

"Christian Care Center of Medina is the best one I have been in because I've been in three of them. Everything was wonderful except the food they cook, it wasn't good. I stayed there for two months for rehab. The rooms were nice. If you needed a private room, you would pay more, but they have two beds mostly and that's what everybody gets. They just opened up in May this year, so it's nice and clean. The nurses and staff are awesome, they take care of me. You get 3 meals a day, they bring it to your room, and they pick up the tray. Overall, it's a good home. They have a therapy room, where you can exercise, and they try to keep you going and doing something. They've got three girls that work in there and they know what they're doing. As for the cost, my insurance paid for it. I just couldn't say enough about them because they're that loyal in taking care of me. Even if the people don't come around, the staff keeps up with them. They wash their clothes and try to keep them busy mentally, and that's a lot right there. I had one girl there that I wish I could've brought home with me, we were that close as far as talking, joking, and stuff like that. They have church services and games that they play. They have a woman that tries to keep them happy, she brings magazines and books if you want some of them."

"Community Care is top notch. My family member has been in other facilities, and CCRC is by far the best. The nurses are caring, knowledgeable, and well-informed. They get to know each resident’s personality, likes and dislikes, as well as the family; residents are shown so much respect. When there are any changes in my loved one’s health, meds, attitude, etc, I am notified immediately. We love the animals in the facility because it makes it feel like home. Yes, the facility is old, but it is very well maintained and is always very clean. "

"My mother has been staying at Donalson Care Center for just over a year now. She's had excellent care and has certainly improved since she's been there. She likes it and they have a lot of different activities that she gets to participate in. They've been very attentive to her needs. The place is kept clean and it smells good when you walk in. The staff is very caring. My mom is in a shared room. They have exercise, churches coming in, Bible studies, singing, and bus trips for those who are able. Everyone and Mother are pleased with the activities. They're good and have been there a long time. They have excellent reviews and they're recommended to us by friends. I've eaten some of the meals and they're good. The place is all on one floor and they've added wings to it, and once you get familiar with the pattern, it's great. The cost is pretty well average of all of them we've checked into."

"Fayetteville Care and Rehabilitation Center is a good place. They have a lot of staff on hand at all times, and we have 24/7 access to our loved ones. They have people come in to sing, and do outings, have a beauty shop, laundry facilities, courtyards where the residents can plant flowers, and a gathering room where they watch TV and do their activities."

"We chose Woodbury Health and Rehabilitation Center for my mother because they were willing to help me. I went through their facility and everything looked good, I was impressed with it. They showed me everything. We have open communication, I had somebody I could talk to, give me some answers, and help me. The rest of the other places were interested in the money, they want me to pay a great deal of amount out of my pocket. The food is better than what I could cook. The rooms are absolutely clean."

"My mother recieved wonderful care and was treated as if she would be treated at home, with love and tremendous care. The room was cleaned twice a day, more if needed. Physicians kept me informed and showed mom love. Nurses and Nurses aides kept me informed, loved on my self and mom. They quickly became a part of our extended family. I thank God for the care my mother recieved at this facilty. As a foot note. She came from another facility that was just the oposite."
