PruittHealth – Franklin operates as a skilled nursing facility, concentrating on both short-term rehabilitation and long-term custodial care. Residents who arrive for post-acute stays have access to licensed physical therapists who deliver goal-oriented treatment aimed at improving mobility, strength, and safety before discharge. Individuals who make the community their permanent home receive the same nursing oversight, medication administration, and ongoing therapy services as clinically indicated, creating continuity between rehabilitative and chronic care needs.
The clinical team is supported by 24-hour nursing coverage and uses the Wanderguard security system to help protect residents who may be at risk for unsupervised exits. This technology works alongside regular safety checks and care planning meetings that involve nurses, therapists, and physicians. The focus is on maintaining each resident’s baseline health, preventing complications, and responding quickly to changes in condition.
Resident rooms are offered in a mix of configurations, and not every room contains the same features. Some beds are electric, which can make repositioning easier for residents with limited mobility. Outdoor areas give individuals the opportunity to spend time outside under staff supervision, whether for therapy exercises or simple relaxation.
Meals are prepared onsite and are served three times a day in the dining room, with adaptive utensils and texture-modified options available when prescribed. Clinical dietitians review menus to align with physician-ordered diets, and nursing staff monitor intake to support weight maintenance and hydration goals.
Additional services include organized clubs and small interest groups that meet regularly, an activity center where scheduled programs take place, and a library and computer lounge that offers reading materials and internet access for residents who want to stay informed or connect online.
