Ivy Hall Nursing Home in Elizabethton, TN is licensed as a skilled nursing facility, so round-the-clock medical oversight is standard. Registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and certified nursing assistants are on duty 24 hours a day to address both routine and complex health needs, such as IV therapy, post-operative recovery, diabetes monitoring, and wound care. Regular physician visits, on-site lab coordination, and integrated pharmacy services allow most treatments to be delivered without transferring residents to outside providers.
Complementing the core nursing services, Ivy Hall offers physician-ordered rehabilitation that includes physical, occupational, and speech therapy delivered in dedicated therapy spaces. Staff members manage medication administration, pain control, and respiratory care, and a consulting dietitian aligns each resident’s nutritional profile with clinical goals. Social services personnel coordinate discharge planning, hospice, and palliative support, ensuring continuity of care as residents’ conditions change.
Accommodations include a mix of private and semi-private rooms, each furnished with basic necessities and emergency call systems. Some rooms provide direct access to maintained outdoor areas, and on-site parking is available for residents who drive or receive frequent visitors. Because layouts differ, not every accommodation includes all of these features, so it is best to verify specific room details during an in-person visit.
Dining services supply three balanced meals daily in a communal dining room, with tray service offered when prescribed by medical staff. Menus routinely incorporate low-sodium selections to help manage blood pressure and cardiac conditions, and healthy snacks are available throughout the day to maintain proper caloric and nutrient intake. The dietitian reviews individual dietary requirements to support physician-directed treatment plans.
Residents can spend leisure time in the activity center, where staff facilitate exercise sessions, crafts, and social events. Organized clubs and community groups give residents structured opportunities to pursue shared interests, and the library and computer lounge provides reading materials, internet access, and email stations for personal correspondence and online tasks.
