Overview

Abundant Christian Living Community Rehabilitation has received an excellent Trust Grade of A, indicating a high level of quality care and service. It ranks #1 out of 298 facilities in Tennessee and #1 out of 8 in Washington County, placing it at the very top among local options. However, the facility's trend is concerning as it has worsened in terms of issues reported, increasing from 1 issue in 2021 to 2 in 2024. Staffing is a relative weakness, with a below-average 2 out of 5 stars, and a turnover rate of 41%, though this is still better than the state average of 48%. Notably, there have been specific incidents, such as a failure to maintain a clean environment for one resident and not following proper procedures when using restraints, which raises potential concerns about resident safety and comfort. On the positive side, the facility has not incurred any fines, suggesting good compliance with regulations. Overall, while there are strengths in the facility's reputation, families should be aware of these weaknesses when considering care options.
