Since I have recently completed a year in the tupelo nursing and rehab center , the reader should understand that I consider this facility to be my home. We have so much activity, Dailey life is very interesting and fun. We have many days filled with interesting activities under the direction of our very talented activities director. For example my mornings and afternoons are involved in entertaining activities. The activities director maintains an extensive activities calendar that is distributed to every resident. Many activities are resident led, such as bible study,( even our executive director comes to bible study and singing), bingo, singing, nail polishing, movies, painting, cards, dominoes. When I arrived, I vowed to never play bingo. Now, bingo is an important part of my day. Today, we had a February birthday party with cake, ice cream, chips, cola. Very nice. Resident smokers are allowed to smoke 2 times each day. The day to day functioning of the tnrc is capably managed by an accessible executive director who cares about our individual lives. In other words we are are more than patients, we are seen as human beings with varied interest and desires. Each resident is assigned to living quarters located on 1 of 4 halls. Each hall is competently managed by the hall nurse who rewards residents for completion of required activities such as bathing. The hall nurse distrubutes prescribed medications, Arranges for hospital visits, doctor appointments, all medical requirents, i.e. dialysis, etc. In other words my room on B Hall has become my home. Cleaned daily by our excellent housekeeping staff. In addition, our hardwood floors are constantly waxed and polished by our knowledgeable floorctechs and maintenance staff. Several certified nursing assistants(cna's)are assigned to each hall. These people become our family. Showers are assisted by a specialist for each resident hall. Compared to assisted living facilities where i have lived, I would choose the tnrc every time the staff is more helpful. In my opinion. I could not ask for better people to take care of me or my family. They care about the patients. Additionally, we have a tremendous physical therapy staff who are very helpful and caring. Therapist help with walking. Speech therapy, strength, occupational therapy ( completing necessary day to day activities, such as shaving, oral hygiene,eating. For example, I had lost my ability to walk or stand, they have helped me stand and walk. On any normal morning, my hall is filled with cna's, floorctechs, who maintain beautiful hardwood floors, The tnrc operates 24 hours a day, 7 days per week. Patients take showers/ baths dailey, assisted by capable cna's. A social director handles all problems social in nature. Tnrc also provides sunday church services for residents. Each resident room contains hospital level beds. In reality, This is a better life than any hospital. Again, after my first year, I highly recommend the tupelo nursing and Physical Therapy Center. Finally, tnrc makes patient satisfaction a top priority. Highly recommended! Tnrc is a coffee drinkers delight: early bird coffee served between 6:30 & 7:00 a.m. also late morning and early evening.

My mother E. Moore has been there 3 days so far. I would like to give a shout out to Ms D. Brown the Social Worker that is working with my mother. I can tell she enjoys her job and she has great listening skills and she cares about the patient's. I was talking to my mom on the phone today and the CNA or nurse had a pleasant attitude talking to my mother. I would like to thank the person that answers the phones, her attitude is also so pleasant.

My mom is currently doing rehab at this facility. She and I are both happy with the care she is receiving. The staff and administrators have been very helpful and caring. They provide games and arts and crafts. They had music, balloons and decor all over for Valentine’s Day. They celebrated all the February birthdays the other day. The residents and staff are friendly and upbeat every time I visit, and I’m there almost every day. Highly recommend.

My Grandmother has been at this facility for years and she loves it! She initially went for just rehab and did not want to leave. She adores the staff there and they adore her. In the past our family did encounter minor issues and we felt like they could offer more to the residents. However, since the new executive director Stacy has been there I am seeing things move in a more positive light.
