Explanation of Our Services
Skilled Nursing
Obion County Nursing Home and Rehabilitation provides 24/7 skilled nursing services to individuals who need additional care due to diminished ability to perform activities of daily living as a result of injury or other cause. Most of our staff have the training to administer advanced medical treatments. We provide both short-term rehabilitation as well as long-term care, and we utilize teams of doctors and nurses who work with residents, patients, and their families to create the most effective care plan.
Our skilled nursing services include:
- IV Therapy
- Diabetic Care
- Dialysis Support
- Medication Management
- Cardiac Care
- Stroke Care
- Pain Management
- Wound Management
- Feeding Tubes
- Restorative Care
It is paramount to us that our residents, patients, and their family members feel heard, understood, informed, valued, and secure with us. We fully believe that quality of life is just as important as quality of care. We work hard to keep our residents happy and comfortable; we believe it is our responsibility to love and respect our residents and patients like a family member.
Physical Therapy
We treat patients at every stage of life and with a variety of needs. Whether it’s athletes recovering from injuries, individuals recovering from major surgeries, or even people who need help building strength after an accident – we can help. Our team can help with the transitioning process from leaving the hospital to going back home. We focus on returning patients to a normal and productive lifestyle. We utilize specialized medical and rehabilitation technologies and equipment to help our patients regain strength, mobility, and balance. The majority of our patients are back home and back to their normal, productive lives in a reasonably short amount of time in therapy.
Occupational Therapy
Our goal as a team is to help individuals to live the highest quality of life by helping promote healthy living regardless of illness, disability, or injury. Our team assists residents with every day activities and builds customized methods to help individuals meet their own needs. We work directly with patients to create new methods of overcoming obstacles in their lives, like building a new routine for getting dressed. Again, these plans are customized specifically for each individual patient and helps meet personal goals set out in the care plan.
This process is largely all-encompassing and holistic. Every resident is unique: we customize a plan to fit the specific needs of each individual with the goal of safely attaining the highest degree of functioning and quality of life.
Speech Therapy
Speech therapy treatment is available to assist individuals who need improvement in the areas of communicating, speaking, language, voice, and swallowing. Life can be very challenging when you cannot communicate with friends and loved ones. Our goal with speech therapy is to improve our residents’ ability to eat safely and communicate in the most effective way. After initial assessment, our team of specialists can identify needs and create a treatment plan with the focus upon increasing quality of life and ensuring safety. Common challenge areas that our team is specialized in treating include speech articulation disorders, dysphagia, aphasia, swallowing challenges, voice disorders, and apraxia. Speech therapy is also commonly needed following a stroke, accident, or illness. Our team takes a slow and steady approach to helping patients regain speech skills in a caring, understanding, and safe space.
Psychiatric Therapy
Our team works with residents and family members to identify and understand the emotional, psychiatric, and medical needs of our residents. The ultimate goal is to pinpoint strategies and implement tactics to help our residents build confidence and lead productive daily lives. We work with residents to help them understand their illness and actively participate in their treatment, regain stability, and return to independent living when possible. We focus on implementation of daily living skills and routines to help residents achieve consistency and improved quality of life. Compassion and respect for the dignity of each resident drives our psychiatric team to help build self-esteem and daily living skills.
Our team will establish a medication and administration plan for each resident. This plan is constantly monitored and evaluated for effectiveness. We work alongside patients to help them master daily living skills. We believe that staying in constant communications and re-evaluating our patient plans are essential to effectively treating and rebuilding both physical and emotional health.
Rehabilitation Therapy Services
Our centers treat a wide range of patients transitioning from hospital to home with a focus on returning patients to a normal and productive lifestyle. Through the use of specialized medical and rehabilitation technology and equipment, as well as advanced staff training in complex care conditions, the vast majority of our patients return home and back to active lives in a relatively short period of time. In addition, we offer long-term care for patients who can no longer manage at home.

What is a skilled nursing facility?
A skilled nursing facility provides 24-hour licensed nursing care. Skilled nursing services are necessary for patients and residents who require medical care, nursing care, and therapy services for the rehabilitation of disabled, sick, or injured individuals.
Skilled nursing care most commonly includes IV therapy, rehabilitation services, wound care, post-surgery assistance, help with administration of medications, and assistance in daily functioning that includes help with a variety of daily living needs: dressing, bathing, walking, and eating. Obion County Nursing and Rehab also offers diabetic care, dialysis support, cardiac care, stroke care, pain management, wound management, feeding tubes, and restorative care. These services, along with home assessment and discharge planning, are available 7 days per week.
When is it time to consider a move to a skilled nursing facility?
There is plenty to consider when evaluating if and when full-time care may be necessary. First, get a baseline of needs by considering the ability level of personal care in the following activities of daily living:
- Use of telephone
- Ability to shop/shopping independently
- Independent meal preparation and ability to eat without assistance
- Ability to maintain an adequate diet
- Participation in household and housekeeping activities
- Can take care of laundry
- Can travel and can travel without assistance
- Can handle medication dispensing
- Handles own money and expenses and is capable of making purchases without help from others
While it may seems daunting, recognizing limitations in every day activities is the first step to identifying the most appropriate level of care an individual needs.
Is skilled nursing the same type of care an individual would receive at a hospital?
No, skilled nursing is not the same type of care as a hospital. It’s a common misconception that a nursing facility is an extension of the hospital – especially to those who enter a skilled nursing facility after a stay in the hospital. Broader types of care (including medical care, rehabilitation, and nursing services) are provided by our team of health care experts and dedicated caregivers. Additionally, skilled nursing facilities like Obion County Nursing and Rehabilitation focuses on ensuring our residents feel at home – a place where they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and surrounded by familiar faces who care about them.
Nursing facilities have a number of activities and entertainment options for residents. Visiting hours are also much less restrictive than hospitals. Friends and family members are very encouraged to visit. We encourage our residents to eat with their friends in the dining room when possible instead of in their rooms.
