Our read on Roane General Hospital

Roane General Hospital runs 35 certified beds as a nonprofit corporation, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.67 hours per resident day, roughly 21% above the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips about 13% below its own weekday levels, so families should ask how that gap gets handled on Saturdays and Sundays. Annual turnover of 43.9% is slightly better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for continuity of care. The inspection record shows 36 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, though two are abuse-related. Its last inspection was in September 2025, so the picture is current. CMS rates it 4 of 5 on health inspections and 5 of 5 on quality measures.
