AHC Mt Juliet
Over 2 years since last inspection. Current conditions may differ from available data.
Families considering AHC Mt Juliet should be aware that the facility has received a Trust Grade of F, indicating significant concerns about care quality and safety. It ranks #228 out of 298 nursing homes in Tennessee, placing it in the bottom half of all state facilities, and is #3 out of 4 in Wilson County, meaning only one local option is better. The situation appears to be worsening, as the number of issues found increased from 2 in 2023 to 7 in 2024. Staffing is a concern here with a rating of 2 out of 5 stars and a turnover rate of 74%, significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the facility has incurred fines totaling $211,244, which is more than 97% of Tennessee facilities, suggesting ongoing compliance problems. Specific incidents of concern include a resident being subjected to inappropriate behavior from another resident during group activities, and a failure to properly clean a blood glucose meter, risking infection spread. Another serious finding indicated that a resident's fall went unreported to medical staff, delaying necessary care. While there are some strengths, such as average RN coverage, the overall trends and incidents raise significant concerns about the safety and well-being of residents at this facility.

About This Facility
What is Ahc Mt Juliet's CMS Rating?
CMS assigns AHC Mt Juliet an overall rating of 1 out of 5 stars, which is considered much below average nationally. Within Tennessee, this rating places the facility higher than 0% of the state's 100 nursing homes. A rating at this level reflects concerns identified through health inspections, staffing assessments, or quality measures that families should carefully consider.
How is Ahc Mt Juliet Staffed?
CMS rates AHC Mt Juliet's staffing level at 2 out of 5 stars, which is below average compared to other nursing homes. Staff turnover is 74%, which is 28 percentage points above the Tennessee average of 46%. High turnover can affect care consistency as new staff learn residents' individual needs.
What Have Inspectors Found at Ahc Mt Juliet?
State health inspectors documented 36 deficiencies at AHC Mt Juliet during 2019 to 2024. These included: 12 Immediate Jeopardy (the most serious level, indicating potential for serious harm or death) and 24 with potential for harm. Immediate Jeopardy findings are rare and represent the most serious regulatory concerns. They require immediate corrective action.
Who Owns and Operates Ahc Mt Juliet?
AHC Mt Juliet is owned by a for-profit company. For-profit facilities operate as businesses with obligations to shareholders or private owners. The facility is operated by PACS GROUP, a chain that manages multiple nursing homes. With 106 certified beds and approximately 86 residents (about 81% occupancy), it is a mid-sized facility located in MOUNT JULIET, Tennessee.
How Does Ahc Mt Juliet Compare to Other Tennessee Nursing Homes?
Compared to the 100 nursing homes in Tennessee, AHC Mt Juliet's overall rating (1 stars) is below the state average of 2.8, staff turnover (74%) is significantly higher than the state average of 46%, and health inspection rating (1 stars) is much below the national benchmark.
What Should Families Ask When Visiting Ahc Mt Juliet?
Based on this facility's data, families visiting should ask: "What changes have been made since the serious inspection findings, and how are you preventing similar issues?" "How do you ensure continuity of care given staff turnover, and what is your staff retention strategy?" "Can you walk me through typical staffing levels on day, evening, and night shifts?" "Can I visit during a mealtime to observe dining assistance and food quality?" These questions are particularly relevant given the facility's Immediate Jeopardy citations, the facility's high staff turnover rate, and the below-average staffing rating.
Is Ahc Mt Juliet Safe?
Based on CMS inspection data, AHC Mt Juliet has documented safety concerns. Inspectors have issued 12 Immediate Jeopardy citations (the most serious violation level indicating risk of serious injury or death). The facility has a 1-star overall rating and ranks #100 of 100 nursing homes in Tennessee. Families considering this facility should ask detailed questions about what corrective actions have been taken since these incidents.
Do Nurses at Ahc Mt Juliet Stick Around?
Staff turnover at AHC Mt Juliet is high. At 74%, the facility is 28 percentage points above the Tennessee average of 46%. High turnover means new staff may not know residents' individual needs, medications, or preferences. It can also be disorienting for residents, especially those with dementia who rely on familiar faces. Families should ask: What is causing the turnover? What retention programs are in place? How do you ensure care continuity during staff transitions?
Was Ahc Mt Juliet Ever Fined?
AHC Mt Juliet has been fined $211,244 across 1 penalty action. This is 6.0x the Tennessee average of $35,191. Fines at this level are uncommon and typically indicate a pattern of serious deficiencies, repeated violations, or failure to correct problems promptly. CMS reserves penalties of this magnitude for facilities that pose significant, documented risk to resident health or safety. Families should request specific documentation of what issues led to these fines and what systemic changes have been implemented.
Is Ahc Mt Juliet on Any Federal Watch List?
AHC Mt Juliet is not on any federal watch list. The most significant is the Special Focus Facility (SFF) program, which identifies the bottom 1% of nursing homes nationally based on persistent, serious quality problems. Not being on this list means the facility has avoided the pattern of deficiencies that triggers enhanced federal oversight. This is a positive indicator, though families should still review the facility's inspection history directly.
