Data insights
Quality ratings
Care Compare (data as of April 2026) lists no overall CMS star rating for Bledsoe County Nursing Home. That gap typically means the facility is too new for a completed inspection cycle, recently changed ownership, or lacks enough resident-assessment data to compute the quality measures component -- not necessarily a sign of poor performance, just insufficient published data for the public algorithm to score it.

The figures above come directly from the U.S. Centers for Medicare \& Medicaid Services Nursing Home Compare dataset for federal quality ratings, combined with the CareScout 2025 Cost of Care Survey of more than 15,000 elder-care providers nationwide and U.S. Census American Community Survey income data. Cost figures are monthly medians, refreshed annually with each new CareScout release; quality ratings are refreshed quarterly from the CMS Provider Information File. Read these state and county medians as benchmarks, then verify current rates with individual providers and consult care managers before making placement decisions.
