Our read on Brigadier General Wendell H Gilbert Tn State Veter

Brigadier General Wendell H Gilbert Tn State Veter runs on state government money, and the nurse staffing shows it: 5.34 hours per resident day, roughly 38% above the national average. That's real coverage, though weekends dip about 13% below the home's own weekday level, so the weekday numbers aren't the whole story. The inspection record is where things get more mixed, eight deficiencies on file, two serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and one tied to abuse. The last full inspection was in April 2022, so that record is getting stale. Three stars each for inspections, quality measures, and staffing puts this home squarely in the middle of the pack.
