The Best Nursing Home Communities in Putnam County, TN

"Nhc Healthcare, Sparta is OK. The nurses are on their toes with my husband. Whatever he needs, they can get it. The only thing that I would have to say is they don't really have enough people working there to keep things clean. Things could be better, but they just don't seem to have enough maintenance people there. My husband's room is comfortable. The food is good and he has never complained about the food. It's like home cooking. They have puzzles, and the other day they had pumpkin painting. They also have activities in the cafeteria for them daily."

"My mom moved into The Waters of Gainesboro. It's very clean. It's very welcoming. They have a courtyard with swings where you can sit and talk. We can take Mom out there, and we can talk to her. They have an incredible activities department. Last week, they had senior prom, a cookout, and Hawaii Day. They're constantly doing stuff all the time to keep the patients active. They've been super good. The nurses have been super caring. They decorate inside and outside. It's just beautiful. They take pride in their facility. The food, from what I've seen, looks good."

"My father was in Wharton Nursing Home. It was really nice, and my mom and sister were really happy with it. My dad received really good care there. We had some meetings with them, and they were great. The staff was wonderful, kind and caring, and every time we called with a question or whatever, they had time to talk to us. They were very responsive and very good. He's back home now."

"Staff was friendly and helpful, facility seemed clean. Unfortunately, my grandmother died shortly after moving to the facility (due to her health, not the facility's fault.) "

"We had a great visit at Cumberland Ridge Assisted. The director was very knowledgeable, friendly, and willing to answer any questions. We saw different rooms. They have different room size options, and the single rooms were larger than what we saw in the other places. They had two common sitting areas, the library, and the dining area. I saw a few of the residents here or there, just kind of visiting with each other. When we passed one resident slowly working her way down the hall. One of those staff members came by and knew her by name and encouraged her as she was slowly making her way. The rooms have individual locks, so that if they want to lock their door when they leave the room, they can. Obviously, there's a Master Pass key that the staff have. They provided a microwave, a small mini fridge, and cable as part of the cost in the room, which is nice. It's all one level."

"My husband has been in the Life Care Center of Crossville for two and a half years already. The staff is very helpful. The doctors there, they're young, but they're good. The patients get bathed when they're supposed to. They get taken care of. The food is pretty good. The only thing I was disappointed is, well, he was wearing dentures and I said they've got to be taken out at night because otherwise his mouth could get infected and so they did that, but there were a lot of times where they didn't put them in, and what's happening, the muscles in your mouth start to weaken. They would try to put it in when I would be there to say something, and he fought them because it was hurting, so now they don't put them in and all he does is chew his tongue, so that part I'm not happy with. He probably would have been able to speak better if he had his teeth in. But they have activities for the residents there. It's also a rehabilitation center, too. They have entertainment, and they have people come in and sing and play instruments. The dining area is very good. Everything is clean. They keep the place clean, which is good. It's nice. They keep everything in its place where it belongs. The physical therapy room is clean and good. He started in the lockdown section, and I said, 'He doesn't need lockdown, he can't walk, he's not going to escape.' They saw that and they finally moved him into the regular section. The staff members were all patient and very good."

"My father is at Wyndridge Health and Rehab Center. They take very good care of him. The rooms are very clean and very big. The food is very good, too. He doesn't go down to the activity room, but they come in there to try to interact with him. They have a rec room where they do movies and activities. The staff members are very caring and very professional. It is an older building, but it is very well maintained."

"The Barcus Family would like to extend a heartfelt THANK YOU to all of the Staff at Smith Co. Health and Rehab. Though Mom went to be with the Lord this past Friday, the Staff did an excellent job caring for her while she was there. Trust me, excellent care is not easy to find. We tried multiple facilities that severely lacked compasion and understanding of the elderly. My only regret is that we didn't find this facility sooner. You all have one of the most difficult jobs out there..... Keep up the good work, our Elders deserve it! Thanks for all you do!"
