Viviant Healthcare Of Bristol sits on 250 Bellebrook Rd in Bristol, Tennessee, and serves seniors who need skilled nursing, assisted living, memory care, and palliative care, so it's a facility that's been around since 1986, though the physical plant shows some wear and needs a few repairs, like after a leak that happened before, but the main thing people notice is that most of the residents here need a lot of help-almost everyone needs staff to help them move around, over ninety percent can't walk on their own and spend their days in a wheelchair or bed, most need help with bathroom use or incontinence, and over forty percent have dementia, so care for challenging conditions is a regular part of daily life. Residents do have access to a number of amenities, such as a dining room with meal service-meals are restaurant-style, and they try to meet special diets, especially for things like diabetes-plus Wi-Fi, cable, air-conditioning, private rooms with bathrooms, fitness space, a gaming room, a garden area, a small library, and spots around the community for visits and activities, so staff focus on activities tailored to each person, like arts and crafts, social programs, and even planned day trips when possible. There's a 24-hour call system, and healthcare is always the main focus, with medication management, therapy services such as physical, occupational, and speech, as well as help with bathing, dressing, and transfers, and they promise to support residents' dignity, respect, and well-being, using a team of healthcare professionals who aim to create a caring place.
Despite having a range of healthcare and supportive services, Viviant Healthcare Of Bristol has a long record of state survey deficiencies from March 2017 to June 2023, including findings that show both immediate jeopardy and actual harm toward residents, and the place has had ongoing problems with safe staffing levels-over ninety-four percent of days in 2022 and 2023 had CNA staffing below two hours per resident per day, which falls short of recommended safety minimums, so this has led to poor ratings for overall care, health inspections, staffing, and quality measures and the place has even made it onto the NHAA Watchlist for those serious problems. They do offer options for virtual tours, in-person visits, and will talk with families and residents about specific care needs, and they're set up for both short-term rehab and long-term care; however, the facility's skilled nursing license is currently inactive, though it can be renewed for those who need it, and the building itself is classified as a "B" quality, standing in need of general clean-up. On the property, you'll find a beauty salon/barbershop, laundry and housekeeping help, computer center access, safety features for those with handicaps, and transportation options for both medical and non-medical outings, and the staff provide personal care, wound care, podiatry, laundry, wellness checks, and more, with community-run activities and spaces set up for social gathering or quiet time, so for seniors needing more hands-on care, structured health services, and a spectrum of activities, this facility provides a wide range of services even if it has struggled with keeping care at the safest levels in the past. The facility has had a BBB file open since July 2023 but isn't accredited, and the nursing home services are offered under a receivership process, meaning it's up for sale, but with a history of certification and inspection records you can review if you want to get a better picture of its past and what kind of care is typically provided.
