Decatur County Health and Rehabilitation is a nursing home in Parsons, Tennessee, offering skilled nursing and rehabilitation services. Owned by Bear Creek Healthcare, LLC, this 125-bed community has been in operation since 1992 and accepts both Medicare and Medicaid.
Hospitalization rates for long-term residents are consistent with the Tennessee average, while emergency room visits for this group are 32% better than the state average, which serves as a strong sign of successful chronic care management. This community is also rated significantly above average regarding its long-term quality standards, while findings vary for temporary residents. The rate of falls resulting in major injury is zero, which is perfectly optimal, and the success rate for residents returning home after their stay exceeds the state average by 10%. Conversely, rates for re-hospitalization and emergency visits following admission are higher than the state average for the short-term population, indicating that families should inquire about transition planning.
Employee data shows that Registered Nurse time is below the state mean, though Licensed Practical Nurse hours are 25% higher than the Tennessee average. Total nursing hours on weekends remain consistent with state standards for older adults.
This community provides professional nursing, on-site therapy, and recovery services, supported by a physician on staff and 24-hour coverage from licensed nurses and certified assistants. A social calendar titled Stay Active programming is also conducted. Private and shared rooms, as well as dining services, regular housekeeping, and laundry assistance, are also available. Additionally, the acceptance of Medicare and Medicaid ensures that the community is accessible to residents with various financial backgrounds.
Decatur County Health and Rehabilitation is a practical option for both permanent nursing residents and temporary recovery patients in the Parsons area and throughout Decatur County. The high performance in long-term care standards and the perfect record in preventing fall-related injuries suggest a safe and stable environment for those with complex health requirements. However, those focusing on short-term recovery may find it helpful to review the specific discharge and transition protocols due to the higher rates of return hospital visits for that specific group.
