Nursing homes across Blount County, Tennessee, graded on the federal inspection
record, nurse staffing and staff turnover. County rank is shown on each home's profile.
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.
Ocoee Transitional Care Center runs on better-than-average staffing, 4.36 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 13% above the national figure, and the federal staffing and quality ratings reflect that. The catch is consistency: weekends run about 15% thinner than weekdays, and half the staff turns over each year, a bit worse than the 45.8% national rate. The inspection record is the softer spot, a 2 out of 5 with 17 deficiencies, though none rose to harm or jeopardy and none involved abuse. The last survey was August 2023, so that picture is getting dated. Nonprofit ownership, solid care numbers, and turnover are the real story here.
Life Care Center of Blount County runs 120 certified beds under corporate ownership, and its staffing sits slightly under the national average, 3.79 nurse hours per resident day against 3.86. That gap is small, but weekends drop about 18% below the home's own weekday coverage, and staff turnover is 51.4%, noticeably above the 45.8% national figure. The inspection record is where the real concern shows: 19 deficiencies, one at harm or jeopardy level, two abuse-related, plus an $8,018 fine, with the most recent inspection in December 2024. Quality measures score well, but strong clinical numbers don't cancel out a thin weekend shift or a harm-level finding. Worth asking about directly before deciding.
A family looking at Fairpark will see two very different pictures depending on which numbers they check. The clinical quality measures look strong, but the staffing tells another story: 2.79 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 28% under the national average, with weekend coverage dropping about 17% below its own weekday level. Turnover runs 53.8%.
The inspection record backs that up, 15 deficiencies, two at harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, with a $27,771 fine, and the most recent inspection was July 2025. For-profit, limited liability ownership.
The five-star quality rating reflects how residents are doing on paper. The one-star staffing rating reflects how thin the coverage is. Both are true.
Foothills Transitional Care and Rehabilitation runs 185 certified beds in Maryville under corporate for-profit ownership, and its staffing numbers are the thing to look at first. At 3.33 nurse hours per resident day, it sits roughly 14% under the national average, weekend coverage drops about 13% below its own weekday level, and annual turnover hits 51.1% against a national 45.8%, that combination matters more than any single star rating. The inspection record shows 25 deficiencies, including two at the harm-or-jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, with $17,883 in fines and a last inspection in January 2024. Quality measures score well, but good numbers on paper don't staff a hallway on a Sunday.
Asbury Place At Maryville runs 181 certified beds under for-profit, limited-liability ownership, and its staffing numbers are the first thing worth knowing: 3.55 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends about 8% thinner than weekdays. That gap shows up in the federal staffing rating, which sits at 1 out of 5. Annual turnover of 60%, well above the 45.8% national figure, means the people caring for residents are frequently new. On the record: 23 deficiencies, including one at harm level and two abuse-related, plus a $16,720 fine. The most recent inspection was January 14, 2026, so the picture is current. Quality measures score better than inspections do.
