Elk River Health and Nursing Center of Winchester

Elk River Health and Nursing Center of Winchester sits at 32 Memorial Drive in Winchester, Tennessee, and can serve up to 80 residents, though most days there are about 52 people living there. The facility shapes its daily care with a staffing level of 3.99 nurse hours for each resident each day, but with a nurse turnover rate of 46.0%, folks may see different faces over time. It has direct ownership by Ocoee Foundation Inc., while Twin Rivers Health & Rehabilitation LLC and Clinton Davis have managed it since April 2019. Elk River Health and Nursing Center is part of Elk River Communities and is run as a non-profit corporation. The building offers skilled nursing services, assisted living, dementia care, rehabilitation therapy, and general long-term and respite care, so families in Franklin and the nearby counties use its broad services. The place also has Certified Nursing Assistant Training, health and wellness programs, guidance for long-term care insurance, and family caregiving support. Elk River was recognized with a 2021 Bronze AHCA/NCAL National Quality Award and has a 4.3 rating based on 6 reviews online, but inspection history notes 6 deficiencies, including issues with food handling and nutrition procedures (rated severity 'F'), and some problems with resident care planning and following care orders (rated severity 'D'). The staff is well-trained, skilled in therapies and activities meant to support comfort and a positive outlook on life, and the place tries to be warm and supportive for its residents, but every family should look at the inspection reports and visit in person. The facility welcomes community members and works to provide expert guidance and long-term care resources, while offering information about careers and tours through its website.
