BLEDSOE COUNTY NURSING HOME

Data insights

BLEDSOE COUNTY NURSING HOME does not currently carry a CMS overall star rating on Care Compare (data as of 2026-04-01). Facilities remain unrated when they are too new to have completed a full inspection cycle, have undergone a change of ownership, or have insufficient resident-assessment data to compute the quality measures component. Absence of a rating is neither positive nor negative — it simply means CMS has not yet published enough verified data for the public algorithm to produce a score.

Located in PIKEVILLE, Tennessee, this facility operates 50 certified beds with an average daily census of roughly 33 residents — an occupancy rate of about 66%. The facility is classified under government - county ownership, a designation that can influence staffing patterns, reinvestment decisions, and admissions policy. Ownership type, bed certification (Medicare, Medicaid, or both), and geographic setting are frequently-requested context points that families weigh alongside the star rating when evaluating long-term care options.

On the regulatory side, federal and state surveyors have documented a moderate number of deficiencies at this facility (4 total). CMS has levied no enforcement penalties over the equivalent window. Deficiencies are graded by scope and severity on CMS's F-tag scale, ranging from isolated, low-harm findings to widespread, immediate-jeopardy citations. Tracking deficiency volume alongside severity provides a more complete picture than star rating alone. Families considering this facility are encouraged to review the full inspection history on medicare.gov/care-compare and to request copies of the most recent survey reports directly from the administrator before making a placement decision.

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.
