Millington Healthcare Center is an 85-bed nursing home in Millington, Tennessee, offering long-term nursing care, short-term rehabilitation, respite services, and a broad range of specialty clinical programs for older adults with complex medical needs. Medicare, Medicaid, and private-pay residents are accepted. CMS currently assigns the community a 1-star overall rating, indicating a below-average quality of care.
The community maintains an occupancy rate near 78%, which is higher than the state average. Clinical capabilities also extend beyond standard nursing care and include IV therapy, dementia support, dialysis coordination, respiratory and tracheostomy care, PEG tube management, psychiatric services, podiatry, and dental, vision, and audiology support. A Medicaid specialist is also available on staff.
Inspection history reflects significant compliance concerns over the current reporting period. The most serious findings stem from a March 2025 complaint investigation that resulted in a monetary fine and a 76-day payment suspension. An immediate-jeopardy citation related to inadequate pain management for a resident requiring those services was also issued, one of the highest enforcement levels used by CMS. Additional findings from that inspection involved accident prevention, pharmaceutical services, staff competency oversight, medication errors, delayed abuse reporting, and improper handling of residents’ belongings.
Earlier inspections also identified recurring operational and clinical concerns. A 2024 standard survey cited issues involving food storage and incomplete care plan implementation, while 2022 findings included infection-control failures, nutritional concerns, respiratory care deficiencies, and accident-prevention citations. Complaint investigations in 2023 additionally documented gaps involving RN coverage and assistance with activities of daily living. Although many deficiencies were classified at lower severity levels, the repeated nature of nursing and care-management findings may be important for interested families to review carefully.
Staffing levels generally track close to Tennessee averages overall, though performance varies by role. Licensed practical nurse coverage is stronger than the state average, while registered nurse and certified nursing assistant hours remain somewhat below average. Weekend staffing is also lower than statewide benchmarks. One positive operational indicator is that all reported staff members are direct employees rather than agency contractors, which may support greater continuity of care. Nurse turnover, however, remains somewhat higher compared to the Tennessee average.
The community performs well in several quality indicators, including lower rates of falls with major injury, reduced depressive symptoms, lower antipsychotic medication use, and better outcomes for mobility decline and incontinence management. At the same time, some measures raise substantial concern. Rates of pressure ulcers among high-risk residents, unexplained weight loss, and long-stay hospitalizations all significantly exceed state averages. Preventive vaccination rates for both long-stay and short-stay residents are especially low compared to Tennessee benchmarks and represent one of the most notable quality gaps.
Millington Healthcare Center appeals to families seeking advanced clinical capabilities close to home. The community’s strongest distinguishing feature is its ability to manage medically complex residents through specialized services not commonly available in many smaller nursing communities.
