Stones River Manor runs a small house, 30 beds, and staffs it far heavier than most places. At 6.19 nurse hours per resident per day, it's roughly 60 percent above the national average, and its nurses stay: turnover of 28.6 percent against a national rate of 45.8 percent. Inspectors were last in on July 1, 2025, and the home has 15 deficiencies on record with none at the harm or jeopardy level, one of them abuse-related, which is worth asking about directly. The trade-off to know is weekends, when staffing drops about a fifth below its own weekday level. Ownership is nonprofit.

Siskin Subacute West runs on unusually heavy staffing, 5.86 nurse hours per resident day against a national average near 3.86, and weekend coverage barely dips below the weekday pace. Turnover sits at 26.4%, well under the national 45.8%, which matters because consistent caregivers tend to know residents' routines. Those numbers earn top federal marks across staffing, health inspections, and quality measures. The catch is the inspection record behind those stars: 16 deficiencies, five serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and one fine of $93,919. A recent inspection date doesn't erase that history. The staffing is real and strong; the survey record is the part worth asking about directly.

Pavilion-Ths runs 4.40 nurse hours per resident day, about 14% above the national average of 3.86, and its weekend staffing dips roughly 17% below its own weekday level, a gap worth asking about if your family visits or calls on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover sits at 25%, well under the 45.8% national figure, so the people caring for residents tend to stay. The current record shows 8 deficiencies, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in March 2025. It's a for-profit LLC with 60 certified beds, and its federal ratings land at 4 out of 5 on health inspections and quality measures, 5 out of 5 on staffing.

Fort Sanders Tcu is a small nonprofit unit, 24 beds, with a clean inspection record and no deficiencies at any level, including nothing abuse-related. That's rare, and the June 2025 survey is recent enough to mean something. The staffing picture is more mixed than it first looks. Total nurse hours run 5.18 per resident day, roughly a third above the national average, but weekend coverage drops about 13% below the home's own weekday level, and CMS still scores staffing at 1 out of 5 stars. Quality measures and health inspections both come in at 5. So the care delivered looks strong on paper; the question a family should ask is who's actually on the floor on a Saturday.

Woodcrest at Blakeford sits in Nashville with 83 certified beds and a nonprofit owner. Nurse staffing runs 4.66 hours per resident day, about 21% above the national average of 3.86, and that shows in a four-star staffing rating. The catch is weekends, when coverage drops roughly 11% below the home's own weekday level. Annual turnover is 51.2%, higher than the 45.8% national figure, so even with good raw hours, some of the faces change often. The current record shows 13 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, but one abuse-related citation. A five-star quality measure rating and an inspection dated March 2026 round out a home that's strong on care measures with a few real caveats.

White House Health Care runs high on nurse hours, 5.70 per resident per day, roughly half again the national average, and that shows up in its staffing star rating. Weekend coverage dips only about 4% below weekdays, so care doesn't thin out much when families visit. The current inspection record carries 7 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with a survey completed in November 2025. Turnover sits at 51.3% against a national 45.8%, a real weak point given how often residents see new faces. Corporate for-profit ownership, 84 certified beds.

Towne Square Care of Puryear runs 32 certified beds in Henry County under corporate for-profit ownership, and its staffing numbers tell two different stories. Total nurse coverage sits at 4.29 hours per resident day, about 11% above the national average, but weekends run roughly 34% below its own weekday level, so the weekday floor is better staffed than the weekend one. Staff turnover is the standout: 22.7% annually, well under the national 45.8%, which suggests people stay. The tradeoff is a record of 16 deficiencies with no harm-level findings, though one is abuse-related, and a 3/5 inspection rating against a 4/5 on quality measures. That mix, steady staff, thinner weekends, a documented abuse citation, is what a family should weigh.

Shannondale of Maryville is a 44-bed nonprofit home run by a church, and the staffing numbers are its strongest feature: 4.46 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 16% above the national average. Weekend coverage dips about 8% below weekday levels, which is worth asking about if your visits will fall on Saturdays or Sundays. The tradeoff is retention, 57.4% annual turnover runs well above the 45.8% national figure, so aides and nurses cycle through faster than average. On the inspection side, six deficiencies appear on the current record with none at the harm level, but two are abuse-related, a small number that still deserves a direct question.

The Reserve At Spring Hill runs 5.09 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a third more than the national average of 3.86, and its inspection and quality ratings both sit at the top of CMS's five-star scale. Nine deficiencies on record with none at the harm level and none tied to abuse is a clean sheet by most standards, though the last full inspection was in June 2021, so that picture is a few years old. Staff turnover lands at 47.1%, slightly worse than the 45.8% national figure, and weekend coverage drops about 11% below weekday levels, worth asking about if your family member needs care Saturday or Sunday.

Allen Morgan runs on staffing you rarely see in a 31-bed home: 6.64 nurse hours per resident day, about 72% above the national average, with weekends dipping only slightly below weekdays. Inspections back that up, three deficiencies on record, none causing harm or jeopardy, no abuse findings, and the most recent survey came in February 2026. Quality measures sit mid-range at 3 out of 5, which is the one number here that doesn't stand out. As a nonprofit, there's no owner profit motive pulling resources away from care, and the low deficiency count with recent oversight suggests a home that stays on top of things between surveys.

Kirby Pines Manor runs on a nonprofit model with 120 certified beds, and its inspection record is genuinely clean, two deficiencies on file, none involving harm or abuse, and a survey completed in June 2025. The quality measure scores back that up. Where it gets less comfortable is staffing: 3.67 nurse hours per resident day sits about 5% under the national average, weekends drop roughly 22% below weekdays, and turnover runs 54.5% against a national 45.8%. So the care standards look strong on paper, but the people delivering that care are stretched thinner than average and cycling through faster than average. Worth asking the administrator directly how they cover weekends and what they're doing about retention.

Christian Care Center Of Unicoi County runs about 4.37 nurse hours per resident each day, roughly 13% above the national average, and its staff tends to stay: turnover sits at 29.2% against a national rate near 46%. The tradeoff is weekends, when coverage drops about 12% below what the home staffs on weekdays. Inspections show 7 deficiencies on the current record, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, with the last visit in April 2026. A 50-bed for-profit LLC, it holds 4 of 5 stars for both health inspections and staffing, and 3 for quality measures.

Ivy Hall runs about 4.37 nursing hours per resident day, roughly 13% above the national average, and its inspection record is genuinely clean: two deficiencies on file, none involving harm or abuse, with a survey completed in September 2025. Staff turnover sits at 43.4%, a touch under the national figure. The one thing worth watching is weekends, when staffing drops about 14% below the home's own weekday level, that gap matters most for residents who need help at meals, with mobility, or with toileting on Saturday and Sunday. A for-profit owned by an individual, 101 beds, in Elizabethton. The numbers say a well-staffed home on paper; ask how weekends actually run.

The Village at Germantown runs 7.17 nurse staffing hours per resident day, roughly 86% above the national average, and weekend coverage stays within about 10% of weekday levels, which matters because that's where a lot of homes quietly thin out. But the inspection record is the problem: 16 deficiencies on file, two of them at harm or jeopardy level, and a one-star health inspection rating that pulled the overall grade down despite the five-star staffing mark. Annual turnover sits at 41%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure. The last inspection was September 2025, so the record is current, and there's one fine totaling $11,196. Plenty of hands, but a documented history of things going wrong.

The Kings Daughters And Sons runs a leaner ship than most on paper: 5.28 nurse hours per resident day, well above the national average of 3.86, with weekends dipping only slightly from weekdays. But the inspection record tells a rougher story, nine deficiencies, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse, plus two fines totaling $13,498. Staff turnover sits at 53.5%, higher than the national 45.8%, which matters when continuity of care is already strained by a two-star health inspection. The last state visit was October 2023, so that record is aging. Strong staffing is real; so is what inspectors found.

Hardin Home runs about 5.19 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a third more than the national average of 3.86, which is the main reason its record looks as solid as it does. Weekends drop about 16% below its own weekday staffing, so the coverage families see on a Saturday may not match a Tuesday. The June 2025 inspection is recent, and none of the nine deficiencies on file rose to harm or jeopardy, though two are abuse-related, worth asking about directly. This is a for-profit corporate home with 39 beds, which usually means less corporate cushion but also less bureaucracy. Ask about weekend nurse coverage and what those two abuse deficiencies involved.

Claiborne Health and Rehabilitation Center runs on 4.35 total nurse hours per resident day, roughly 13% above the national average, and that shows up in a 4-out-of-5 staffing rating. The catch is weekends, when coverage drops about 11% below the home's own weekday level. On its current record are 11 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, though 3 are abuse-related, worth asking about directly. The most recent inspection was November 20, 2025, so the picture is current. This is a nonprofit corporation with 100 certified beds in Tazewell, sitting at 3 out of 5 on both health inspections and quality measures. Strong weekday staffing, a thinner weekend, and a handful of abuse-related findings is the honest summary.

Southern Tenn Medical Center SNF runs 4.42 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 14% above the national average of 3.86, but that staffing star rating still comes in at just 1 out of 5, and weekends drop about a third below the home's own weekday level. The inspection record shows 11 deficiencies with none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, and the last state visit was September 4, 2025, so the record is current. Health inspection rating sits at 2 out of 5 while quality measures hit 4 out of 5. It's a 46-bed for-profit owned by an individual. The weekday numbers look better than what families actually experience on Saturdays and Sundays.

Jefferson Park At White Pine runs on a county-owned model with just 30 certified beds, and the staffing numbers are the real story here: 5.76 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 49% above the national average. Weekend coverage dips about 6% from its own weekday level, which is a modest gap. Staff turnover sits at 43.1%, slightly better than the 45.8% national figure, so this isn't a home bleeding workers. One deficiency on the current record, none at harm level, none abuse-related, with the last inspection in October 2023, an unusually clean sheet. Small county homes sometimes get overlooked, but the numbers here point to consistent, well-staffed care.

Tennova Newport Convalescent Center runs 56 certified beds in Cocke County, and its last full health inspection came in March 2023, with seven deficiencies on record, none of them at the harm or jeopardy level, and none related to abuse. That inspection history is a real strength. The staffing picture is more mixed: at 3.37 nurse hours per resident day, this home sits roughly 13 percent under the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage dips about 10 percent below its own weekday levels. Turnover, though, runs 36.6 percent against a national average near 46 percent, so the people who are there tend to stay. For-profit corporate ownership.
