Carthage Opco operates Smith County Health and Rehabilitation, and Casey Lynn Malone administers it. The home holds just 34 beds in Carthage, Tennessee, with memory care and skilled nursing on the license, in addition to nursing home care. A building this size means a short list of names for anyone to learn, whether resident or staff.
Memory care is supervision for a person who’s at risk of walking out the door unsupervised. Before that step, the caring has usually taken over a spouse’s whole day, with not much time left that belongs to them. Licensed nursing covers a Sunday afternoon and the middle of a Wednesday night alike.
Post-operative Rehab, Inpatient/Outpatient Therapies, IV therapy, and Long- and Short-Term Care are the place’s named programs. Antibiotics running on a drip for six weeks is a nursing job, and not one a family should be expected to be able to handle. Therapy is available to someone staying here and to someone coming in for it without a bed.
Arts and crafts, hands-on cooking, gardening, and church services fill the ordinary week. A nurse practitioner works in-house, which puts an advanced clinician on site rather than on call. Each resident’s day has a share of the nursing time totalling 3 hours and 28 minutes across the day.
All three payment routes are open here. The area scores 45 for walking, and it counts as car-dependent, so most errands will need a ride there and back. Someone who has stopped driving will need help to get around outside.
