Our read on Southern Tenn Medical Center Snf

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.
