Overview of Stone River Post Acute

Stone River Post Acute is a nursing home in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, providing skilled nursing care, short-term rehabilitation, temporary respite stays, and memory care programs. With a valid license through June 2026, this community has been operating since its initial licensure in May 1996, under the ownership of Murfreesboro SNF Healthcare, LLC. Medicare is accepted, while private accommodations can be requested.

The community recently underwent a comprehensive rebranding and ownership transition, having previously operated as AHC Northside under the American Health Communities network. This structural shift is visibly reflected in the public oversight documentation. The most recent official CMS standard health review recorded took place on October 7, 2021, a timeline that falls significantly past the typical 9 to 15-month regulatory schedule.

Daily life within the neighborhood features dietitian-supervised meal planning alongside a diverse activities calendar that includes organized field trips, group social gatherings, and live musical entertainment. For business inquiries and admissions, the main administrative offices remain open from Monday through Friday, from 8 A.M. to 5 P.M. Furthermore, the surrounding neighborhood is highly car-dependent and carries a Walk Score of 5, meaning the vast majority of personal errands and visits will necessitate a vehicle.

Stone River Post Acute is designed for older adults and families looking for short-term post-acute rehabilitation under Medicare benefits within the Murfreesboro region.

Staff typeHours / Day / Residentvs state avg
Registered Nurse (RN) Info RNs hold the highest nursing license and can assess residents, interpret test results, and direct care plans.

LPN / LVN Info 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 30m per day ▲ 39% State avg: 1h 5m per day · National avg: 52m per day
Nurse Aide Info Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) provide the most direct day-to-day assistance: bathing, dressing, feeding, and mobility.

Weekend RN Info 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. 12m per day ▼ 48% State avg: 23m per day · National avg: 29m per day
