Overview of Hermitage Health Center

Hermitage Health Center is a 70-bed skilled nursing and rehabilitation facility in Elizabethton, Tennessee, operated by Ocoee Hermitage Health Center, LLC, under the administration of Andrew Call. Licensed since 1992, the nonprofit community accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay and provides physical, occupational, and speech therapy alongside memory care services.

CMS rates the facility 5 stars overall, 63.4% above the Tennessee average, driven by an exceptionally clean inspection record. Across three inspections since 2019, the facility recorded 5 citations, compared with a Tennessee average of 15.4; its rate of 1.67 citations per inspection ranks 8th out of 176 Tennessee SNFs. None of the five citations were critical or serious; all were moderate care planning citations that were later corrected. No fines or enforcement actions appear in the record.

Staffing is mixed. Total nurse staffing averages 3 hours and 11 minutes per resident per day, 13% below the Tennessee average, with LPN staffing also below state norms. The offsetting signal is RN staffing, which averages 55 minutes per resident per day, 49% above the state average. Weekend RN staffing is 50% above average, which suggests strong weekly clinical oversight.

The facility’s 94-day average length of stay and rehabilitation service lineup, including PT, OT, and speech therapy, reflect a post-acute orientation. Occupancy rate is 68%, modestly below the state average of 71.6%, indicating current availability.

Hermitage Health Center fits residents seeking short- to mid-term skilled rehabilitation in Carter County, as well as those requiring memory care in a facility with a standout compliance record.

Overview of Four Oaks Health Care Center

Four Oaks Health Care Center provides long-term care and short-term rehabilitation services for residents in Washington County, Tennessee. The community is a privately owned 26-bed skilled nursing facility in Jonesborough operated by Tammy Edwards.

Four Oaks holds a 2-star overall CMS rating, driven primarily by staffing. Nurse hours average 3 hours and 24 minutes per resident per day, roughly 7% below the Tennessee average of 3 hours and 40 minutes, and 59% below the state benchmark on CMS’s adjusted staffing metric. Health Inspection performance is the one bright spot, scoring 2.7 percentage points above the Tennessee average. Quality Measures trail the state by about 20%.

The facility’s occupancy rate is 62%, below Tennessee’s average of 71.6%, which typically indicates near-term availability. The resident mix is weighted toward long-term care, with a smaller share admitted for short-stay rehabilitation. On-site services include a therapy gym and wellness program, a beauty salon, a courtyard, and scheduled activities and social events.

Four Oaks Health Care Center serves residents seeking long-term skilled nursing care in a small, residential setting in the Jonesborough area, particularly those for whom immediate availability and proximity to Washington County matter more than high staffing ratios or quality-of-care performance.
