Serving residents in Scott County, Oneida Nursing & Rehab Center provides long-term care, short-term rehabilitation, memory care, and comfort care in Oneida, Tennessee. The 117-bed facility is privately owned and operated by Preferred Health Services of Tennessee and holds The Joint Commission’s Gold Seal of Approval for Nursing Care Center Accreditation, an independent certification focused on clinical and operational standards.

A $52,000 civil money penalty was issued following the September 2023 inspection.

The facility’s occupancy rate is 44%, reflecting broad availability across room types.
Amenities include private suites, salon services, and outdoor spaces; programs include Community Integration Trips and a dedicated Comfort Care track. The center accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay.

| Staff type | Hours / Day / Resident | vs state avg |
|---|---|---|
|
Registered Nurse (RN)
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.
| 31m per day | ▼ 16% State avg: 37m per day · National avg: 41m per day |
|
LPN / LVN
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 7m per day | ▲ 3% State avg: 1h 5m per day · National avg: 52m per day |
|
Nurse Aide
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 52m per day | ▼ 13% State avg: 2h 9m per day · National avg: 2h 20m per day |
|
Weekend Total Nursing
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.
| 3h 6m per day | ▼ 8% State avg: 3h 21m per day · National avg: 3h 26m per day |
|
Physical Therapist
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.
| 0m per day | ▼ 100% State avg: 5m per day · National avg: 4m per day |
|
Weekend RN
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.
| 25m per day | ▲ 3% State avg: 24m per day · National avg: 28m per day |
