Pickett Care & Rehabilitation Center has been designated one of the nation’s ‘Best Nursing Homes‘ by U.S. News & World Report, according to a report released this week by the national news magazine.
Pickett Care & Rehab was one of several homes operated by Louisville, Ky.-based Signature HealthCARE that were named to the list, which is compiled using data published in January by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).
U.S. News has awarded the ‘Best Nursing Home’ distinction to homes that earned an overall rating of five stars, the highest rating CMS awards nursing homes. Under the five-star rating system, nursing homes are assessed in three main categories: health inspections, quality measures and staffing. The overall rating combines scores received in each of the three categories.
We are blessed to celebrate our wonderful Fathers during such an important time of year, Father’s Day. A Father’s Day Social was held on June 14, 2013 to honor the amazing gentlemen we are blessed to serve each day! Our family joined together for afternoon refreshments and special music by Elder Frank Stephenson on his harmonica. Each man received a special Father’s Day hat. It was an honor for us here at PCR to help celebrate an amazing group of gentlemen!
Camp Pickett kids & Elders enjoyed a beautiful sunny day on Friday June 14, 2013 at Alvin C.York Grist Mill. The kids played their hearts out on the playground, taking a break for a picnic lunch with the Elders, then cooling off with a dip in the river. The Elders enjoyed the entertainment, with lots of laughs, while watching the kids hunt for crawdads in the water.
We kicked-off our 6th year of Camp Pickett on June 3, 2013, with a day of crafts, relay games, and afternoon fun on the water slide. Camp Pickett is an interactive youth summer camp aimed to help younger and older generations build relationships and have fun together. The program allows employees of the home to bring their children to work with them during the summer months. The children participate in a wide range of educational and intergenerational activities, allowing them to interact with the Elders at the home. Activities include art and science projects, and a daily “Community Meeting,” during which Elders and children share their views on current issues. The camp program was launched in 2008 here at Pickett Care & Rehab and has since been expanded to more of Signature homes.
We joined together with the Hull-York DAV to remember the men and women who died while serving in the United States Armed Forces. The DAV Color Guard facilitated “Taps” and presentation of colors with special music by Shirley Moody. The service was concluded with refreshments and a time of fellowship.
On May 15, 1938, Selda Rae (Jones) Poor entered the world as a premature baby. Her parents, Bradley and Selma Jones, had to work hard to keep her alive. Her father built a homemade incubator using only a shoebox and their oven to save her life. Maybe it was this outpouring of love at the beginning of her life that caused Rae to be a giver, but she spent the rest of her life giving to others without any expectation of receiving anything in return.
In December of 1960 she married Norman Poor and they had six children: Lesa, Lyn, Dianna, Jerry, Joe, and Michael. They moved around some over the years, but ended up settling down in Pickett County in 1990.

The day was filled with lots of laughs & beautiful weather!

Nursing Home Week is a national observance across the U.S. This year we have had so much fun celebrating it with a Fabulous 50′s theme. Our Elders have enjoyed various activities–like the antique car show, hula hoop fun, sock hop, drive-in movie, and an amazing show by “Elvis”. Our Elders have felt like they’re teenagers again with all of the fun we’ve had in celebrating the Fabulous 50′s here at Pickett Care & Rehab!
