This facility has areas of concern that warrant careful consideration. Registered Nurse hours are 83% of the EveryPlace reference benchmark; ask how RN coverage is allocated across shifts. The latest standard survey recorded 10 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.
Community Care of Rutherford receives highly polarized feedback, with many reviewers praising the staff's warmth and dedication, while others report serious concerns regarding neglect and inadequate staffing. Families should be aware of recurring reports of slow response times and lapses in basic hygiene and medical oversight, which contrast sharply with the positive experiences of those who feel the staff treats residents like family.

Key Review Excerpts
“The staff (as a whole), is very kind and helpful. There are a few grumpy but there are so few it doesn’t affect my 5 star review.”
“They do not want to help her with a bath or wash her hair or help her to brush her teeth. They will pick her food up before she gets through eating. The staff is always hanging out at the nurses station just talking.”
“She had complained about her arm hurting and couldn’t move it and the doctor said everyday “oh we need to get that x-rayed today” and never did it.”
Both RN and total nursing hours are below the EveryPlace reference benchmarks. Ask the facility how it staffs each shift for current resident needs.
Reference benchmarks (0.75 RN and 4.1 total nursing hours per resident/day) are comparison targets, not current federal minimum requirements.
