This facility has areas of concern that warrant careful consideration. Registered Nurse hours are 66% 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.
Signature HealthCARE of Putnam County receives highly polarized feedback, with many reviewers praising the dedicated nursing and therapy staff, while others report severe concerns regarding neglect, hygiene, and communication. Families considering this facility should be aware of a significant divide between those who feel their loved ones were treated like family and those who describe a lack of basic care and responsiveness.

Key Review Excerpts
“The CNAs were wonderful. However the nursing staff gaslights the hell out of their patients. My mother went there for PT and they withheld her medication then lied and said she had received it.”
“I have never seen a cleaner, fresher smelling care facility in my life. The activities the staff does with patients has been beyond all expectations.”
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.
