Christian Care Center Of Unicoi County runs about 4.37 nurse hours per resident each day, roughly 13% above the national average, and its staff tends to stay: turnover sits at 29.2% against a national rate near 46%. The tradeoff is weekends, when coverage drops about 12% below what the home staffs on weekdays. Inspections show 7 deficiencies on the current record, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, with the last visit in April 2026. A 50-bed for-profit LLC, it holds 4 of 5 stars for both health inspections and staffing, and 3 for quality measures.

Ivy Hall runs about 4.37 nursing hours per resident day, roughly 13% above the national average, and its inspection record is genuinely clean: two deficiencies on file, none involving harm or abuse, with a survey completed in September 2025. Staff turnover sits at 43.4%, a touch under the national figure. The one thing worth watching is weekends, when staffing drops about 14% below the home's own weekday level, that gap matters most for residents who need help at meals, with mobility, or with toileting on Saturday and Sunday. A for-profit owned by an individual, 101 beds, in Elizabethton. The numbers say a well-staffed home on paper; ask how weekends actually run.

The Village at Germantown runs 7.17 nurse staffing hours per resident day, roughly 86% above the national average, and weekend coverage stays within about 10% of weekday levels, which matters because that's where a lot of homes quietly thin out. But the inspection record is the problem: 16 deficiencies on file, two of them at harm or jeopardy level, and a one-star health inspection rating that pulled the overall grade down despite the five-star staffing mark. Annual turnover sits at 41%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure. The last inspection was September 2025, so the record is current, and there's one fine totaling $11,196. Plenty of hands, but a documented history of things going wrong.

Nhc Healthcare, Somerville runs 72 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.96 hours per resident day, a bit above the national average of 3.86. That margin is thin, though, and weekends dip about 16% below the home's own weekday coverage, which matters when that's when families tend to visit. Staff turnover comes in at 37.5%, better than the 45.8% national figure, so the people caring for residents are staying longer than is typical. The current record shows five deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, with no abuse citations. Its most recent inspection was February 19, 2026.

Life Care Center of Morristown runs 161 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.35 hours per resident per day, roughly 13% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop about 22% below the home's own weekday coverage, so the hours your relative gets on a Saturday won't match a Tuesday. What stands out favorably is turnover: 24.6% against a national average of 45.8%, meaning the people showing up tend to stay. Inspections in August 2025 found 8 deficiencies with nothing at the harm level, though one was abuse-related. Quality measures score 5/5; staffing scores 3/5.

The state runs this 140-bed veterans home in Humboldt, and the numbers back up the operation. Nurse staffing sits at 4.24 hours per resident per day, roughly 10% above the national average, and weekend coverage dips only about 15% below its own weekday level, modest, as these gaps go. Staff turnover of 21.9% is less than half the national rate, which suggests people stay. On the record: 7 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related, with the last inspection in October 2023. All three CMS star ratings land at 4 out of 5. A stable, well-staffed home with a clean recent inspection history and no serious findings.

Pickett Care runs 69 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits just under the national average at 3.78 nurse hours per resident day. That gap is small, but weekends thin out roughly 20% below the home's own weekday coverage, which is where short-staffing tends to bite. Turnover at 31.5% is meaningfully better than the 45.8% national figure, so caregivers here stick around longer than at the typical home. The current inspection record shows 17 deficiencies, including two at harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, worth asking about directly. A recent April 2025 inspection and solid quality and staffing ratings round out a mixed but workable picture.

Life Care Center of Gray runs on leaner nursing hours than most homes, 3.40 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends get thinner still, dropping roughly 18% below what the building staffs during the week. Turnover sits at 33.3%, which is actually better than the 45.8% national figure, so the people who are there tend to stay. The trouble is inspections: a one-star health inspection rating, 16 deficiencies with four serious enough to put residents at risk of harm, three tied to abuse, and a $10,039 fine. Quality and staffing measures score well, but the last full look at this building was September 2023.

Somerfield At The Heritage runs 4.23 nurse hours per resident day, about 10% above the national average, and weekends dip roughly 15% below its own weekday coverage, worth knowing if most of your visits fall on Saturdays and Sundays. The current record shows six deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, though the last inspection was April 2022, so that record is getting old. Annual turnover sits at 47.6%, slightly worse than the national 45.8%, which means roughly half the staff you meet this year may not be there next year. The county's for-profit LLC ownership is typical for Tennessee. Strong marks on health inspections and quality measures, thinner on staff retention.

Nhc Healthcare, Johnson City runs 167 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its inspection record is the standout: a single deficiency on file, none involving harm or jeopardy, none tied to abuse, and a survey completed in January 2026. Staff turnover sits at 28.9% against a national average of 45.8%, which suggests people tend to stay. Nurse staffing is 3.89 hours per resident day, barely above the 3.86 national figure, and weekends run about 12% thinner than weekdays, so coverage isn't uniform across the week. The weaker staffing rating reflects that thin margin more than any serious problem.

Nhc Healthcare, Mcminnville runs on tighter staffing than most homes, 3.67 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 9% below what the building staffs during the week. That combination matters if your family visits on Saturdays and Sundays. Turnover sits at 33.9%, which is actually better than the 45.8% national figure, so the aides and nurses who are there tend to stay. The current record shows four deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the last inspection in December 2023. Quality measures score well; staffing is where the weakness concentrates.

The Kings Daughters And Sons runs a leaner ship than most on paper: 5.28 nurse hours per resident day, well above the national average of 3.86, with weekends dipping only slightly from weekdays. But the inspection record tells a rougher story, nine deficiencies, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse, plus two fines totaling $13,498. Staff turnover sits at 53.5%, higher than the national 45.8%, which matters when continuity of care is already strained by a two-star health inspection. The last state visit was October 2023, so that record is aging. Strong staffing is real; so is what inspectors found.

Life Care Center of Centerville runs 132 certified beds under corporate ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.52 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 9% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 12% below its own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts are the ones families tend to visit. Turnover is the bright spot: 29.2% against a national average of 45.8%, which suggests less churn than most homes manage. The current record shows 17 deficiencies, two tied to abuse, though none rose to harm or jeopardy level. Its last inspection was September 2024, and quality measures score well even where staffing does not.

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 Rhea County runs on leaner nurse staffing than most homes, about 3.52 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends dip roughly another 10% below its own weekday levels. Staff turnover sits at 27.3%, well under the 45.8% national figure, which matters because consistent caregivers tend to know residents' routines. Inspectors logged 16 deficiencies, including 2 abuse-related, though none reached harm or jeopardy, and the most recent inspection was April 2026. The for-profit, limited-liability ownership is typical for Tennessee. Clinical quality measures score strongly; the staffing and inspection numbers are where the tradeoffs show.

Hardin Home runs about 5.19 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a third more than the national average of 3.86, which is the main reason its record looks as solid as it does. Weekends drop about 16% below its own weekday staffing, so the coverage families see on a Saturday may not match a Tuesday. The June 2025 inspection is recent, and none of the nine deficiencies on file rose to harm or jeopardy, though two are abuse-related, worth asking about directly. This is a for-profit corporate home with 39 beds, which usually means less corporate cushion but also less bureaucracy. Ask about weekend nurse coverage and what those two abuse deficiencies involved.

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.

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.

Nhc Healthcare, Pulaski runs 102 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its staffing sits just under the national average at 3.80 nurse hours per resident day. Weekends dip about 9% below its own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts are predictable. Annual turnover of 41% actually beats the 45.8% national figure, which matters for continuity. The health inspection side is the weak spot: a 2-out-of-5 star rating, seven deficiencies on record with two at harm or jeopardy level, no abuse citations, and nothing inspected since October 2022, nearly three years without a fresh look. Quality measures score 5/5, staffing 4/5. Ask what that care actually looks like on a Sunday.

Nhc Healthcare, Lawrenceburg runs 96 beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its last health inspection was in April 2025, recent enough that the record reflects current conditions. The inspection history shows seven deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, though two are abuse-related, which families should ask about directly. Nurse staffing sits at 3.68 hours per resident day, about 5% under the national average, and weekends run roughly 15% thinner than weekdays, so coverage can feel different depending on when you visit. Staff turnover of 42.4% is slightly better than the national rate of 45.8%. Quality measures score well; staffing is the weaker spot.
