This facility has areas of concern that warrant careful consideration. Registered Nurse hours are 54% of the EveryPlace reference benchmark; ask how RN coverage is allocated across shifts. 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.
Franklin-Simpson Nursing and Rehabilitation Center receives highly polarized feedback, with many recent reviewers praising a shift in management and improved cleanliness, while others describe severe neglect and poor facility conditions. Families should be aware that while many report attentive nursing and proactive communication, there are serious historical and recent reports of residents being left in unsanitary conditions or suffering from falls. The facility is currently undergoing renovations, and recent sentiment suggests an upward trend under new leadership.

Key Review Excerpts
“The entire staff was very caring and attentive to her needs as well as the needs of the family. Even when she scared (due to her confusion) the nurses talked to her and explained what they were doing to assure her she was safe.”
“Anything that going on with my Mom the nurse will call me and let me know and alway keep me updated on our Mom.”
“New management has done really well. My granddaddy has been there almost a year and we have seen a huge change. The past couple of months when we go visit the smell and cleanliness has improved as well.”
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.

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.
