STONES RIVER MANOR, INC
Inspected within the last 6 months. Data reflects current conditions.
Stones River Manor, Inc. has a Trust Grade of B+, indicating that it is above average and recommended for families seeking care. In Tennessee, it ranks #43 out of 298 facilities, placing it in the top half, and it holds the #2 position out of 8 in Rutherford County, meaning only one local option is better. However, the facility's trend is worsening, with issues increasing from 1 in 2024 to 3 in 2025. Staffing is a strong point, with a 5-star rating and only 29% turnover, much lower than the state average, indicating stable staff who know the residents well. Notably, there have been no fines, but recent inspections revealed concerns such as failure to maintain kitchen sanitation, neglecting to complete a necessary dressing change for a resident's feeding tube, and not tracking infection control data, which raises potential health risks. While there are strengths in staffing and overall care quality, the facility needs to address these concerning deficiencies to ensure resident safety.
