Health department summaries reveal serious regulatory and supervision hurdles, noting 23 total citations across five inspections since 2018. This volume tracks significantly above the typical Tennessee facility baseline, resulting in $56,000 in federal fines. Notably, a March 2024 complaint investigation uncovered an immediate jeopardy violation when inadequate supervision led to an unwitnessed fall, resulting in fractures and a resident’s subsequent death, while older logs from 2019 documented actual resident harm from neglected pressure ulcer care.
The latest routine evaluation in August 2025 flagged five moderate deficiencies spanning unsecured oxygen tanks, medication administered without physician orders, breached medical records, and basic hand-hygiene failures. Daily nursing care averages 4 hours and 11 minutes per resident, with an emphasis on physical therapy staffing that ranks well above state levels. Clinical data shows stable results for long-term mobility and low depression rates, though short-stay readmission rates run 27% worse than the state average, and long-stay pneumococcal vaccination rates drop to 49.4%.
Interested individuals assessing local post-acute or long-term options can utilize these multi-year state dossiers to balance the facility’s strong therapy presence against its compliance record. Tracking archives document critical supervision failures, past resident harm, and recurring administrative infractions alongside low long-term vaccination numbers, a detailed review of current corrective steps is a necessary safety measure.

The community houses one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments ranging from 740 to 3,000 square feet, each with kitchens, patios, and balconies.

Services include 24-hour nursing, physical therapy, speech pathology, and activities programming. Amenities encompass a fitness center, swimming pool, library, salon, barber, spa, restaurant-style dining, billiards, and transportation.
The facility’s regulatory and quality profile reveals significant weaknesses alongside selective strengths. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services assigned a 2-star overall rating, placing the facility 34.6% below the Tennessee state average in combined health inspection, staffing, and quality measures.
In August 2025, CMS imposed a $98,000 civil money penalty for regulatory violations.
The facility’s most recent inspection documented deficiencies in quality of life and care (the dominant category at 60% of all findings), infection control, pharmacy services, and environmental compliance; each violation was noted as corrected.
RN hours per resident daily reach 57 minutes, running 54% above the Tennessee average, and physical therapy services at 14 minutes per resident daily significantly exceed state norms. Yet total nursing hours per resident; 2 hours 55 minutes daily, which fall 20% below the state average, and payroll represents only 32.2% of facility revenue, a figure substantially below the 50-60% typical for well-run Tennessee nursing homes.
Hospitalizations and emergency department visits rank 62-63% better than state average, and short-stay residents achieve return-to-home rates of 61.9% (22% above state). However, long-stay residents report depressive symptoms at 27.3%, 148% worse than the Tennessee average; and urinary tract infection rates at 5.1%, nearly 2.5 times the state average.
Occupancy runs at 77%, with short average stays averaging 64 days, reflecting a post-acute rehabilitation focus.
Richland Place is structured for short-term Medicare and private-pay rehabilitation residents in the Nashville market, with the recognition that the 2-star CMS rating, August 2025 penalty, and elevated long-stay morbidity measures warrant thorough independent evaluation of care quality prior to extended placement.
