Richland Place Healthcare Center

At 504 Elmington Ave in Nashville, Davidson County, Tennessee, Richland Place Healthcare Center operates a 30-bed skilled nursing facility owned and operated by Richland Place, Inc., under the administration of Hunter Blake Harris. The community houses one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments ranging from 740 to 3,000 square feet, each with kitchens, patios, and balconies.

The facility provides skilled nursing care, intermediate care, rehabilitation services, and inpatient hospice to Medicare, Medicaid, and private-pay residents.

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.
