Operating for 33 years in Decaturville, Tennessee, Westwood Health and Rehabilitation is a privately owned 90-bed skilled nursing facility managed by Melinda Wade. The community provides long-term nursing care, memory care, short-term rehabilitation, and respite stays for residents in Decatur County. Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are all accepted.
CMS rates the facility 2 stars overall, 34.6% below the Tennessee average, driven by below-average Health Inspection and Quality Measures sub-ratings. Across 3 inspections since 2022, the facility has recorded 6 health citations, ranking 24th among 176 Tennessee SNFs by citation count. The most recent inspection in June 2025 resulted in a serious and a moderate abuse and neglect citation, along with a $15,000 civil money penalty; CMS marks both citations as corrected. Staffing earns an above-average CMS sub-rating, though nurse staffing averages 3 hours and 18 minutes per resident per day, compared with a Tennessee mean of 3 hours and 40 minutes.
Occupancy is well below the Tennessee average of 73%, meaning beds are available. Clinical programs include 24-hour skilled nursing, wound care, respiratory therapy, hospice and palliative care, registered dietitian services, and psychological services. On-site therapy supports both short-stay rehabilitation and longer-term care, and a dedicated memory care unit serves residents in cognitive decline.
The facility’s rehabilitation capacity, clinical service range, and current availability make it best suited for residnets seeking post-acute skilled nursing and memory care in a rural Decatur County setting.
Westwood Health and Rehabilitation is administrated by Melinda M. Wade.
In Tennessee, the Department of Health, Division of Health Care Facilities performs unannounced inspections and investigations to ensure facilities provide high-quality resident care.
