Tennessee average: 17 deficiencies
The most recent inspection on August 18, 2025, identified deficiencies related to respiratory care, food safety, vaccination documentation, and infection prevention practices. Earlier inspections showed similar issues with care planning, medication security, and documentation, including a complaint investigation in June 2024 that noted problems with resident assessments, PASARR screenings, and unsecured medications. Inspectors cited recurring themes around incomplete care plans, inadequate infection control precautions, and lapses in vaccine contraindication assessments. Complaint investigations were mostly unsubstantiated or lacked clear substantiation, and no fines or enforcement actions were listed in the available reports. The facility’s inspection record shows ongoing challenges in documentation and care procedures without a clear pattern of improvement or worsening over time.
