Standing Stone Care and Rehab in Monterey, Tennessee operates as a skilled nursing facility, delivering continuous nursing care for residents who need comprehensive medical oversight. Licensed nurses are on duty around the clock to support recovery from illness or surgery, manage chronic conditions, and administer medications. Short-term respite stays are available for individuals whose primary caregivers need a break, and the on-site physical therapy program helps residents regain strength, balance, and mobility without having to leave the building.
Beyond clinical nursing and therapy, the team helps residents with activities of daily living such as bathing, dressing, and mobility. Care plans are individualized, updated regularly in coordination with physicians, and include monitoring of vital signs, wound care, and post-hospital rehabilitation protocols when required. Transportation to outside medical appointments can be arranged, and the staff keeps families informed about progress and any changes in condition.
Resident rooms are designed for comfort and safety, with housekeeping included so residents do not need to manage routine cleaning tasks. Some rooms provide direct access to outdoor areas for fresh air, while others are closer to the library and computer lounge for quiet reading or internet use. Because layouts and features vary, not every accommodation includes every option, and prospective residents are encouraged to verify specific room details during a tour.
Dining is provided through three daily meals prepared on site, with menus overseen for balanced nutrition and modified diets available upon physician order. Meals are typically served in a shared dining room that accommodates assisted seating, encouraging social interaction while allowing staff to monitor intake and address dietary needs quickly.
For daily engagement, the community maintains an activity center that hosts bingo games, arts and crafts sessions, and scheduled social outings to nearby attractions or events. Participation is voluntary, and the calendar is adjusted to match resident interests and abilities, promoting regular social contact and cognitive stimulation without overwhelming those who prefer quieter routines.
