Tennova Newport Convalescent Center
Tennova Newport Convalescent Center is an intermediate long-term care facility for individuals who are no longer able to care for themselves. We offer compassionate and attentive care in a safe, healing environment.
The 56-bed center features a secure, home-like atmosphere where residents can decorate their rooms with personal furniture as well as plants, special photographs and their own blankets or quilts. And because we want residents to feel at home, we encourage a comfortable clothes dress code.
Providing an Interdisciplinary Approach to Care
The dedicated staff is trained to care for individuals who need supervised medical attention as well as those who only require assistance with the basics of daily living. The nursing team receives ongoing education to maintain the highest standard of care. The rehabilitation therapy team offers a coordinated program, which focuses on restoring function, decreasing pain, increasing strength and endurance, regaining independence, and improving language, swallowing and cognitive function. With Newport Medical Center adjacent to the facility, residents have convenient access to physicians and other healthcare services.
