Laurelbrook Sanitarium in Dayton, TN, operates as a nursing home that centers its services on skilled medical care. Residents have access to round-the-clock licensed nursing, routine physician oversight, and medication management that follows current clinical guidelines. The team monitors vital signs, manages chronic conditions such as diabetes or heart disease, and coordinates laboratory work or imaging when ordered. Post-acute rehabilitation is available for those recovering from surgery, illness, or injury, and includes physical, occupational, and speech therapy delivered on site.

Beyond direct medical treatment, the facility provides daily living support tailored to each resident’s capabilities. Staff assist with bathing, dressing, mobility, and incontinence care, adjusting the level of help as needs change. Care plans are reviewed regularly with family participation to make sure goals remain current. Scheduled transportation is arranged for outside appointments, and social workers help with discharge planning or referrals to community resources when appropriate.

Accommodations include private and shared rooms with basic furnishings and access to several outdoor areas so residents can spend time outside when the weather allows. Not every room has the same features, and availability can change, so confirming specifics during a visit is recommended.

Meals are prepared on site with attention to common therapeutic diets such as low-sodium, diabetic, or mechanical-soft options. Residents receive three meals a day in a communal dining room, and tray service is offered when a resident is unable to leave the room. Snacks are available between meals, and dietary staff review individual preferences and restrictions to keep menus in line with physician orders.
