Treutlen County Health & Rehabilitation — Local services in Soperton

Choosing to put a loved one in a skilled care facility can be difficult. We were forced into a situation where I had to out my mother and father in law into skilled care quickly due to multiple hospital stays.

I called Treutlen County Health and Rehab. Pebbles, the director of nursing, answered the phone. I explained what the situation was. She asked if we could be there in the morning. When we arrived they were so kind. They made all the arrangements and went over the finances. I ran home and grabbed her medications so they could get them packaged. They use Dennards Pharmacy right there in town so she didn’t have to wait for her medicine for days. I brought her back to her new home after lunch.

We did the same thing with my father in law. This time the administrator called me the night before to make sure I didn’t need anything.

Over the past few very chaotic weeks the entire staff was warm and welcoming. Everyone says and talks to the residents. I don’t care if it is housekeeping or the janitor. It was obvious one day that I needed a minute and the lady pushing the cart with the snacks for the residents told me to get something. I told her they were for the residents and her reply was, “you look like you need a pick me up and a break”. I needed both.

Every time I walk into the facility someone is there to greet you. The residents are happy and smile and wave. The dining staff always offers a plate or a drink. During the Olympics they competed in various events and received metals. Last week they had an Elvis Party all the way down to the Blue Suede Shoes. There is bingo, dancing, laughter everywhere.

Someone asked me how I would describe Treutlen Health and Rehab. All I can say is “Family”. We didn’t take our family and put them into a facility. We took them home to new friends and family.

Unless the staff is in a meeting, their doors are always open or they are interacting with the residents. We are so blessed to have this facility and their amazing staff in...

My mother was first in assisted living, then in skilled nursing here, many years. Altzheimers destroyed her memory. She didn't remember 5 minutes ago. She resisted care, but her aides looked after her above and beyond, her nurses too. She passed away 3-4-2020. Her skin was tear, free, bruise free, breakdown free, no bed sores. Thank you Treutlen County Health and Rehab for your loving care...
