What each sub-rating measures

Size and setting

Located in Jonesborough, Tennessee, this facility operates 84 certified beds with an average daily census of roughly 59 residents - an occupancy rate of about 70%.

Inspection record

On the regulatory side, federal and state surveyors have documented a moderate number of deficiencies at this facility (9 total). CMS has levied no enforcement penalties over the equivalent window.

Where these figures come from

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.
