The Best Nursing Home Communities in Weakley County, TN

"We’re pleased with Obion County Nursing Home. It is a county-owned nursing home. It is not owned by a corporation, and I think that makes a difference. It’s not people in it just to make money. So far, my mother is comfortable as she can be and doing as well as she can with the condition she has. The staff is very friendly and very confident. The dining area is nice. The rooms are not as nice, and they don’t look homey, but they’re clean and orderly. It’s been a much better experience. "

"This is my third nursing home and it is by far the best. Very clean with the friendliest and most caring staff that you could ask for. I’m just here for rehab on my legs but I’ll never go anywhere else!"

"Dyer Nursing Home had a very pleasant environment and a very kind staff. However, they also appeared to be understaffed, so each staff member was very busy and this sometimes caused a long wait time for them to answer calls. Despite this, the staff knew the residents very well, and formed personal connections with them. They also had many events scheduled every week, so that the residents could have things to look forward to and enjoy. The interior could have been more cheerfully decorated instead of plain white walls; however, the exterior was very nice looking with flowers by the door. Each room had a window looking outside, and there were bird feeders by the windows looking into the yard. (I thought that was an especially nice touch.) While it had its shortcomings, I thought that Dyer Nursing Home was a good place for my grandmother. "

"This facility has very nice staff, the nurses are friendly and treat the residents with respect. The facility was clean. The residents appeared to be well taken care of and the nurse call lights were answered in a timely manner. There are activities for the residents to participate in and the meals that are served looked well prepared. My friend's mother was there for only a short while after having surgery, but she did not seem uncomfortable while she was there. There was an outside lab that came in to draw routine lab work and doctors were there making rounds and seeing to patients both times I visited this facility. I did not once see a resident that appeared to be uncomfortable or in pain, and the nurses were constantly checking on them several times an hour. The skilled unit was staffed well and I saw physical therapists there helping to keep bedridden residents from getting stiff by helping them do exercises to keep their muscles from wasting away. "

"My mother is currently a resident of this facility and the love and care shown to her from the Administrator down is absolutely awesome. This is not just a nursing home its a family."

"Arbor Place’s staff is dedicated to treat patients with Alzheimer’s, and the nursing staff is excellent. They had special training in dealing with that kind of disability. When you walk down the hall, that’s where the bedrooms are located. It looked like a hotel room, and no TVs are allowed in the bedroom because they want them to interact. They had a living area with couches, chairs, and a TV. They have a family style dining table. It is one long table, and they all eat together. The food is prepared so they do not have cut it. If there’s a particular food that one of the residents doesn’t like, they will try to find a replacement. It’s a lot of one on one specialty. They have their own courtyard to where they are allowed to go in and out. They have a RN on staff and someone else during feeding period. If the family agrees, they will take the residents out to trips. The grounds were very nice and well-maintained, and they have two separate outdoor patios. They have on-staff physical therapists; you don’t have to go to a doctor to do physical therapy. Mom has physical therapy every day, they take them to activities, and other residents also involved. I am really happy with them so far. "

"At the time that we went to Arbor Place of Puryear, we weren't able to look right inside because they had active cases of Covid. They didn't let us in as far as walking around and all we were able to do was just go right inside in the lobby area. We didn't get to see any rooms or anything. It was not very big. It's an older place, and it's way out of our price range for what it is. The staff was very friendly and very helpful. She was able to answer questions that we asked. The reason we were looking at this facility was that, at that time, my mom's brother lived right down the street. Also, it's only 10 minutes away from my husband and I, so it would have been very convenient. My mom would have been in the waiting list, but the staff said it could take anywhere from six months or longer. It is a nursing home, so you have to share a room. The building was very clean and well kept. They had a nice patio area. Because of where the land it's on, there's not a lot of shade around, so that was disappointing. There were no outside structures to get in and out of the sun, but overall, the outside was very nice."

"My brother-in-law is now in Mills Manor (Mills Health and Rehab Center). We were only able to see the outside of the facility because of COVID. This is the second time that he has been there. The staff is very caring. The first time they worked with him, he was able to come along pretty quickly. This time, it's not so quickly. Now, they do weekly meetings and phone meetings to talk about him, which I like, because they tell me how he's progressing or digressing, whatever the case is. The staff is just wonderful there. Back then, they managed to get a weight on him, and he could walk. They really worked with him. However, this time, he is not eating and stuff. It's not that the staff is not working with him, it's just that he doesn't want to do things. The reason that we put him in the Mills Health and Rehab was because we thought that with his dementia, he might remember some of the people there or be familiar with the building itself inside. He does not participate in activities because he's only doing physical therapy and speech therapy."

"My mother has been a resident since March 2019. I have been very pleased with her care and service and attention to her needs and our family needs, as well. The staff knows her and our family by name. Mother loves every one of them. I am so pleased that we have been blessed to have them!"

"My mother was not treated very well here, just because she had dementia she was left alone in her room without water until family came, then they got fresh water. Moved several times when she got used to the staff which made her more agitated. "
