Overview of Waverly Hills Post Acute

Waverly Hills Post Acute is a 100-bed skilled nursing and rehabilitation community in Waverly, Tennessee, providing both short-term and long-term care, including skilled nursing, memory care, hospice services, and respite care for residents in Humphreys County. The facility is operated by Tennessee Health Management LLC.

CMS rates the facility at 2 stars overall. Quality Measures score 34% above the Tennessee average — a meaningful signal for residents whose care involves managing chronic conditions, hospital readmissions, or mobility outcomes. Staffing runs the other direction: nurse staffing averages 3 hours and 0 minutes per resident per day, 18% below the Tennessee average of 3 hours and 40 minutes, placing the facility 142nd out of 172 Tennessee SNFs on that measure. The facility’s occupancy rate is well below the state average of 73%, which typically indicates current availability.

The program list is broad for a community this size. Services include short-term rehabilitation, outpatient therapy, complex wound care, palliative care, diabetes care, and Alzheimer’s and dementia care. An expansive rehab gym supports the post-acute side; a dedicated memory care program and a hospice partnership extend the continuum of care for longer-stay residents. The facility accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay.

Waverly Hills Post Acute serves residents seeking short-term post-acute rehabilitation or longer-term skilled nursing care in Humphreys County, particularly those managing complex chronic conditions where quality measure performance is a meaningful input alongside below-average staffing levels.

Quality ratings

Measured by Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS)

Overall rating Info The Overall CMS Rating combines results from health inspections, staffing levels and quality measures. Health inspections carry the most weight. Staffing and quality scores can increase or decrease the final rating based on performance compared to state and national standards.
Health Inspection Info Based on the results of the facility's three most recent standard inspections and any complaint investigations. CMS reviews the number, scope, and severity of deficiencies, with more recent findings weighted more heavily.
Staffing Info Measures average nursing staff hours per resident per day, including Registered Nurses (RNs) and total nursing staff. Ratings are adjusted based on the level of care residents require and are compared to state and national benchmarks.
Quality Measures Info Based on clinical and physical health indicators reported to CMS, such as hospital readmissions, falls, pressure ulcers, and improvements in mobility. These measures reflect how well residents' health needs are being managed.

Staffing hours breakdown

Info Daily nursing hours per resident by staff type, reported to CMS. Higher is generally better — compare this facility to state and national averages to see where staffing stands.

Hours per resident per day — compared to state averages

Total nursing care / resident Info Total adjusted nursing hours per resident per day, combining RN, LPN, and aide time. CMS adjusts this for case-mix so facilities can be fairly compared.
3h 0m per day
Rank #160 / 192Nurse hours — State benchmarkedThis home is ranked 160th out of 192 homes in Tennessee. Shows adjusted nurse hours per resident per day benchmarked to the Tennessee average, with a ranking across 192 Tennessee facilities. More hours mean more direct care. The national average is about 3.5 hrs; below 3.0 is a red flag.Rankings are based only on facilities in Tennessee that report data for that category.

vs avg
Staff typeHours / Day / Residentvs state avg
Registered Nurse (RN) Info RNs hold the highest nursing license and can assess residents, interpret test results, and direct care plans. More RN hours per day often signals stronger clinical oversight and faster response to health changes. 25m per day
LPN / LVN Info Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) or Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) deliver routine hands-on care — medication administration, wound dressing, and monitoring vital signs. They work under RN supervision and make up a large share of daily bedside care. 1h 10m per day
Nurse Aide Info Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) provide the most direct day-to-day assistance: bathing, dressing, feeding, and mobility. Nurse aide hours are typically the largest staffing category and directly affect residents' quality of life. 1h 49m per day
Weekend Total Nursing Info Combined nursing hours (RN + LPN + Nurse Aide) per resident per day on weekends. Staffing often drops on weekends — this figure reveals whether the facility maintains adequate coverage outside of weekday hours. 2h 49m per day
Physical Therapist Info Hours per resident per day provided by licensed Physical Therapists (PTs) or PT Assistants. PT services help residents recover mobility after injury or illness and are especially important for post-acute (short-stay) rehabilitation. 2m per day
Weekend RN Info Registered nurse hours specifically on weekends. Facilities sometimes reduce RN presence on Saturdays and Sundays — a low weekend RN figure compared to weekday hours can indicate reduced clinical oversight when most administrative staff are absent. 13m per day
