Overview
Humphreys County Care and Rehabilitation has a Trust Grade of D, indicating below-average quality and some concerning issues. They rank #193 out of 298 nursing homes in Tennessee, placing them in the bottom half of facilities in the state, and they are ranked #2 out of 2 in Humphreys County, meaning there is only one local option that is better. The facility is experiencing a worsening trend, with the number of reported issues increasing from 10 in 2024 to 12 in 2025. Staffing is a relative strength, with a 4 out of 5 rating and a turnover rate of 40%, which is better than the state average of 48%. However, they have faced $3,145 in fines, which is average for the area, and recent inspections revealed serious concerns, such as failing to monitor the nutritional needs of residents leading to weight loss, insufficient emergency water supply for residents, and unsanitary food handling practices in the kitchen. While the staffing and quality measures are commendable, families should weigh these strengths against the significant care deficiencies reported.
