These current public-data fields deserve follow-up with the facility and the official Medicare record. They are not a clinical risk score or a substitute for an in-person assessment.
This facility has areas of concern that warrant careful consideration. The latest standard survey recorded 9 findings, above the TN average of 5.9. We recommend asking the administrator directly: "How are you addressing recent staffing shortfalls?" These are not reasons to panic, but they are reasons to ask tough questions and visit in person.
Applingwood Post Acute receives highly polarized feedback, with many reviewers praising the dedicated activity director and therapy team, while others report severe neglect and staffing shortages. Families should be aware of significant concerns regarding hygiene, wound care, and responsiveness to call lights, which contrast sharply with the positive experiences of those who felt well-supported during their rehab stay.

Key Review Excerpts
“The activity director Lisa Roman plans really good activities and makes contact with me daily . The administrator Stacey runs a tight ship.”
“Understaffing was a significant concern. The resident's call light went unanswered for extended periods in some instances. Staff members often seemed rushed and overwhelmed.”
“If your loved 1 is nonverbal & totally dependent due to strokes, this is NOT the place for them for rehabilitation. The result could be, but not limited to: UTI, sepsis, bed sores, etc.”
Total nursing hours are below the EveryPlace reference benchmark, though RN coverage meets its reference level. Ask how aides are staffed for daily tasks such as bathing and mobility.
Reference benchmarks (0.75 RN and 4.1 total nursing hours per resident/day) are comparison targets, not current federal minimum requirements.

Original nursing home datasets
EveryPlace is a research directory. Facility information is compiled from public sources — Medicare.gov, state licensing portals, Google Places, and publicly available street-level imagery. Some summaries, interpretations, suggested questions, and pricing research are AI-generated or AI-assisted and may contain errors or omit important context. Listings do not constitute endorsement, recommendation, or advertisement, and we do not accept payment for placement. Families should verify all details directly with the facility and the original sources linked above before making any care decisions. See our Research Policy for our editorial standards, correction process, and image-removal policy.
These are the 6 closest facilities in our data within 10 miles. Proximity does not mean they provide the same care type or have stronger quality signals, so compare each profile and verify services directly.
