Life Care Center of Hixson operates as a nursing-home provider, concentrating on clinically directed services for residents who need significant medical oversight. The facility delivers an on-site Pulmonary Rehabilitation Program, coordinated Respiratory Care, and Respiratory Therapy for individuals managing chronic lung conditions or recovering from acute episodes. Short-term Rehabilitation is available for patients transitioning from hospital to home, supported by physical, occupational, and speech therapists who follow physician-approved plans.
Beyond these primary services, the center offers Respite Care, giving family caregivers a temporary break while ensuring their loved one remains under skilled supervision. A licensed nursing team is on duty at all hours, and attending physicians are routinely present for assessments and care adjustments. Case managers coordinate discharge planning, medication management, and follow-up appointments to promote a safe return to prior living settings whenever possible.
Resident rooms vary and may include access to outdoor areas, a fireplace lounge, flexible visiting hours, or private kitchenettes, though not every room contains every feature. Maintenance and housekeeping teams handle routine upkeep, and security staff monitor entries to help maintain a controlled environment.
Meals are prepared by dietary staff who work with clinical dietitians to meet therapeutic requirements. A coffee shop on the premises provides an informal option for snacks or beverages between scheduled meals, and families can visit during regular hours to dine with residents.
Additional amenities include an activity center that hosts structured recreation and therapy exercises, a library and computer lounge for reading or internet use, and a putting green for low-impact outdoor activity.
