Every nursing home CMS records under this group, and how the portfolio performs as a whole. Consistency
across a group says more about an operator than any single building.
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.
Brigadier General Wendell H Gilbert Tn State Veter runs on state government money, and the nurse staffing shows it: 5.34 hours per resident day, roughly 38% above the national average. That's real coverage, though weekends dip about 13% below the home's own weekday level, so the weekday numbers aren't the whole story. The inspection record is where things get more mixed, eight deficiencies on file, two serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and one tied to abuse. The last full inspection was in April 2022, so that record is getting stale. Three stars each for inspections, quality measures, and staffing puts this home squarely in the middle of the pack.
Senator Ben Atchley State Veterans' Home runs on 4.51 nursing hours per resident day, roughly 17% above the national average, and its weekend staffing dips about 11% below its own weekday level, a real gap if your family visits or calls on Saturdays. The state-run home in Knoxville holds a clean inspection record: five deficiencies total, none at harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related. Turnover sits at 42.4%, slightly better than the 45.8% national figure, and its last inspection came in March 2026. The quality measure score of 2 out of 5 is the number worth asking about directly, staffing looks strong, but clinical outcomes tell a different story.
The Tennessee Veterans Home in Murfreesboro puts more nursing hours per resident than most places, 4.83 a day against a national average of 3.86, so there's real bedside coverage here. The problem is who's providing it and how long they stay: turnover runs 67.1%, well above the 45.8% national figure, and weekend staffing drops about 19% from weekday levels.
That instability shows up in the inspection record. Twenty-three deficiencies, five serious enough to put residents in harm's way, four tied to abuse, and one $193,155 fine, with the most recent inspection in May 2026 earning the lowest possible health inspection rating. State-run and well-staffed on paper, but the care itself has repeatedly fallen short.
Tennessee State Veterans Home in Cleveland runs five hours of nursing care per resident per day, about 30% above the national average, and its last inspection in January 2026 came back clean enough to earn a top federal rating. The tradeoff is consistency: weekend staffing drops roughly 14% below weekday levels, and 56.1% of staff turned over in a year, well above the 45.8% national figure, that churn matters more in a home where five deficiencies sit on record, including one tied to harm or jeopardy and one abuse-related. As a state-run facility, it answers to public oversight rather than a private operator. Strong numbers overall, but ask how weekends and new hires are actually handled.
