Overview

Nashville Center for Rehabilitation and Healing has a Trust Grade of D, which means it is below average and has some concerns. It ranks #199 out of 298 facilities in Tennessee, placing it in the bottom half, and #16 out of 19 in Davidson County, indicating limited local options that are better. The facility's trend is worsening, with issues increasing from 2 in 2022 to 12 in 2023. Staffing is a concern with a rating of 2 out of 5 stars and a high turnover rate of 65%, which is significantly above the state average of 48%. Although there have been no fines recorded, specific incidents raised issues such as failure to maintain clean food service equipment and improper sanitization practices in the dietary department, which could pose health risks. Overall, while there are some strengths, such as the lack of fines, the facility has notable weaknesses in cleanliness and staffing that families should consider.
