The Long Term Care (LTC) unit at Smith County Memorial Hospital is a 28 bed Not For Profit nursing facility. We have both semi-private and private rooms available. The LTC opened in 1971 after the construction of the add-on to the hospital was finished. We are Not a skilled facility, but we do provide skilled services on an out-patient basis. The LTC is heavily staffed 24 hours a day every day of the year.

Results consistently show that for all caregivers, lower staffing levels, lower quality for profit ownership and higher bed size are associated with higher turnover rates. In all the years the LTC has been open, there has only been 3 Directors of Nursing.
