  • $38,842 in federal fines

Our read on Mountain Ridge Center, Genesis Healthcare

Mountain Ridge Center runs 86 certified beds in Franklin under Genesis Healthcare, a for-profit corporation, and the staffing numbers are where the trouble starts. At 3.40 nurse hours per resident day it sits about 12% under the national average, and weekends dip roughly 15% below its own weekday level, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Staff turnover of 67.5% is well above the 45.8% national figure, meaning many of the people caring for residents are still learning the building. Inspections in April 2025 turned up 16 deficiencies, one abuse-related, with a single fine of $16,702. No harm-level citations appear on the current record, but the quality measure rating of 1 out of 5 doesn't inspire confidence.
