Overview of Signature Healthcare of South Pittsburg Rehab and Wellness Cente

Signature HealthCARE of South Pittsburg Rehab & Wellness Center is a 165-bed nursing home in South Pittsburg, Tennessee, offering nursing, short-term rehabilitation, long-term support, memory care, and temporary respite stays. Licensed since July 1992 and maintaining federal certifications for Medicare and Medicaid since March 1995, this community is owned by LP South Pittsburgh LLC and operates within the broader Signature HealthCARE corporate network. It stands as the only skilled nursing choice located directly inside South Pittsburg.

Annual nursing turnover sits at just 20.4%, which is better than the Tennessee statewide average of 48.7%, representing a massive variance that translates to excellent consistency of care for permanent residents. Regarding overall nursing availability, registered nurse contact averages 44 minutes per resident daily, exceeding the Tennessee state benchmark of 37 minutes by 19% and also outperforming the national median of 41 minutes. Conversely, hours for licensed practical nurses and certified nursing assistants are below state benchmarks at 52 minutes and 1 hour 36 minutes, respectively. Additionally, weekend nursing attention stands at 2 hours and 42 minutes per resident daily, trailing the Tennessee state baseline of 3 hours and 21 minutes by 19%. Currently, the community is operating at a 51.1% occupancy rate, which is below the Tennessee average, suggesting open availability for immediate placement.

A review of the state regulatory ledger shows that the Tennessee Department of Health conducted 4 evaluations over the tracking period, documenting 14 total deficiencies across three routine annual reviews and a complaint investigation. The latest comprehensive annual inspection on October 16, 2024, uncovered 5 deficiencies related to actual resident harm without immediate jeopardy for failing to prevent abuse. The review also listed concerns regarding the failure to safeguard personal belongings, alongside environmental upkeep, resident assessments, and basic infection control protocols, leading to an active civil monetary penalty.

Every private space features satellite television, property-wide wireless internet, and bedside telephone access. A signature Select Dining program is also offered, along with concierge care, continuous 24-hour pharmacy coordination, and on-site professional services covering podiatry, dental care, and optometry. Additional lifestyle perks include a beauty salon, a transit van, unrestricted round-the-clock visitation, a full-time chaplain delivering multi-denominational weekly services, a specialized multi-sensory environment room, an active volunteer program, and private bereavement spaces. Life enrichment schedules are thoroughly detailed, featuring group excursions, localized hobby clubs, and public neighborhood gatherings.

Signature HealthCARE of South Pittsburg Rehab & Wellness Center represents a highly compatible fit for older adults seeking long-term clinical care within a well-appointed, stable setting defined by low employee turnover and excellent long-stay medical outcomes.

5 of 6 metrics below state avg

Standout metric Registered Nurse (RN) is +19% above state avg

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.	44m per day	▲ 19% 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.	53m per day	▼ 18% 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 36m per day	▼ 25% 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.	2h 43m per day	▼ 19% 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.	3m per day	▼ 46% 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.	23m per day	▼ 4% State avg: 24m per day · National avg: 28m per day
