Same-ownership peers
Within Tennessee, Claiborne Health and Rehabilitation Center is one of 31 non profit - corporation nursing homes CMS rates. Its 4-star overall rating sits above the non profit - corporation-segment average of 2.9 stars, ahead of roughly 71% of same-ownership peers in the state.
