Nursing homes across Claiborne County, Tennessee, graded on the federal inspection
record, nurse staffing and staff turnover. County rank is shown on each home's profile.
Claiborne Health and Rehabilitation Center runs on 4.35 total nurse hours per resident day, roughly 13% above the national average, and that shows up in a 4-out-of-5 staffing rating. The catch is weekends, when coverage drops about 11% below the home's own weekday level. On its current record are 11 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, though 3 are abuse-related, worth asking about directly. The most recent inspection was November 20, 2025, so the picture is current. This is a nonprofit corporation with 100 certified beds in Tazewell, sitting at 3 out of 5 on both health inspections and quality measures. Strong weekday staffing, a thinner weekend, and a handful of abuse-related findings is the honest summary.
Buchanan Place runs 134 certified beds under corporate ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.65 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 5% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 17% below its own weekday coverage, so if you're planning visits, that gap matters. Turnover is the one number that beats the norm: 36.7% against a national 45.8%, which suggests some stability in the workforce even if raw hours run thin. What pulls the record down is the inspection side, 18 deficiencies on file, including one at the harm level and four tied to abuse, with a single fine of $8,021. The last inspection was June 2022, so this record is dated.
Tri State Health and Rehabilitation Center runs 116 certified beds as a for-profit corporation, and its current inspection record carries 15 deficiencies, five of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, plus two tied to abuse. The health inspection rating sits at 1 out of 5, and two fines totaling $14,852 are on file, with the most recent inspection dated December 2025. Nurse staffing comes in at 3.44 hours per resident day, roughly 11% under the national average, and weekends run about 15% thinner than weekdays. Staff turnover is 38.5%, which is lower than the 45.8% national figure, a genuine bright spot. If you're weighing this one, ask hard questions about how those harm-level findings were resolved.
