SIGNATURE HEALTHCARE OF ROGERSVILLE
Over 2 years since last inspection. Current conditions may differ from available data.
Signature Healthcare of Rogersville holds a Trust Grade of A, indicating it is an excellent facility that is highly recommended for care. It ranks #41 out of 298 nursing homes in Tennessee, placing it in the top half of the state, and is the best option out of two in Hawkins County. However, the facility's trend is worsening, as it increased from one issue in 2019 to two in 2022. Staffing is a mixed bag, with a below-average rating of 2 out of 5 stars and a turnover rate of 47%, which is slightly better than the state average of 48%. Notably, there have been no fines, which is a positive sign, and the facility has average RN coverage, meaning there is some oversight for residents. Specific incidents include a failure to keep one resident's medical information private and not updating care plans for two residents, which raises concerns about adherence to resident rights and individualized care. Overall, while there are strengths in its trust grade and lack of fines, the facility does have areas needing improvement in staffing and privacy practices.
