AHC McNairy County in Selmer, Tennessee, has a Trust Grade of B, indicating it is a good choice for families seeking care for their loved ones. Ranked #3 out of 298 facilities in Tennessee, they are in the top half, and they hold the top position among the two nursing homes in McNairy County. The facility is improving, with reported issues decreasing from seven in 2022 to three in 2025. Staffing is average, rated at 3 out of 5 stars, with a turnover rate of 27%, which is significantly better than the state average of 48%. However, the facility has been fined $9,331, which is average compared to other Tennessee facilities. A positive aspect is their RN coverage, which is adequate and ensures that registered nurses can catch problems that nursing assistants might miss. Some concerning incidents include a critical finding where a resident with severe cognitive impairment was able to exit the facility unsupervised, posing a serious safety risk, and multiple residents were not informed about their rights to create an Advanced Directive. Overall, while the facility has strengths such as a high-quality rating and good staffing retention, families should be aware of the safety and communication issues that need addressing.
