Life Care Center of Old Hickory Village delivers nursing-home care with an emphasis on skilled clinical oversight. Licensed nurses are on duty around the clock to manage medications, monitor vital signs, and respond to changes in condition. The center supports short-term rehabilitation for guests recovering from surgery, injury, or illness, offering physical, occupational, and speech therapy aimed at safe discharge back home. For residents with chronic or complex respiratory needs, a pulmonary rehabilitation program and on-site respiratory therapy are available, and the staff coordinates closely with physicians to adjust treatment plans. Respite stays are accepted, giving family caregivers a dependable option for temporary relief while their loved one receives professional supervision.
Beyond direct medical services, the community designs individualized care plans that are updated as health needs evolve. Interdisciplinary teams—including therapists, dietitians, and social services staff—meet regularly to assess progress and fine-tune goals. Care coordination extends to arranging outside specialist visits, lab work, and diagnostic imaging when required. The facility also assists residents and families with discharge planning, insurance paperwork, and transportation to follow-up appointments, helping reduce administrative stress during recovery or long-term placement.
Residents can choose from a range of accommodation layouts, some of which feature private kitchenettes for light meal preparation. Select rooms include cable TV, wireless internet access, or both, and Wi-Fi is available in common areas for general use. Outdoor areas and an on-site garden provide places to sit or walk when weather permits, while an indoor fireplace lounge offers an alternative gathering spot. Because room configurations vary, not every accommodation contains every listed feature.
Dining services supply three nutritionally balanced meals each day, prepared under the guidance of dietitians who account for physician-ordered restrictions. Additional snacks and beverages are accessible throughout the day, and a small coffee shop gives residents and visitors a casual place to grab refreshments between meals. Staff members monitor intake for those with special dietary needs and coordinate texture-modified or therapeutic menus as prescribed.
Residents have access to an activity center that hosts arts and crafts workshops, TV and movie nights, and organized clubs and community groups designed to maintain social engagement. A library and computer lounge offers reading materials and internet access, while a putting green provides light outdoor recreation for those cleared for physical activity.
