    Clean caring staff, excellent rehab

    I had a mostly excellent experience: the facility was very clean, welcoming and well organized, and the staff were professional, caring and attentive. Their PT/OT team was top-notch - my relative made rapid improvement in about 17 days (special thanks to Tina, the respiratory therapist) - and activities, outings and strong family communication made the stay feel like home. I did encounter COVID-related visitor and therapy restrictions, and heard about occasional short-staffing, communication lapses and rare reports of neglected care, so ask questions up front. Overall I felt my loved one was well cared for and I highly recommend this place.

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment across the reviews for Spring City Care and Rehabilitation Center is predominantly positive, with a clear concentration of praise for clinical care, therapy services, cleanliness, and many members of the staff. Numerous reviewers emphasize professional, compassionate treatment from doctors, nurses, CNAs, and therapists. The facility’s rehabilitation teams (physical and occupational therapy) are repeatedly highlighted for producing rapid, measurable improvements—one reviewer specifically noted substantial progress within 17 days—and a respiratory therapist (named Tina) received explicit thanks. Multiple reviewers describe a recovery-focused environment where personalized management and attentive clinical oversight helped residents regain function and discharge successfully.

    Staff qualities are a strong positive theme: friendly, welcoming, and helpful employees are repeatedly mentioned. Reviewers often say staff treated residents like family, kept families well informed, and involved social services when needed. Specific nurses and therapists are singled out by name for exemplary care, and many reviewers say they would highly recommend the facility. The Alzheimer’s unit receives praise for calm, clean care and competent nursing. Facility attributes such as cleanliness, lack of offensive odors, pleasant rooms with large windows and outdoor views, ample parking, and an organized, well-run atmosphere reinforce the positive clinical impressions. Social and recreational programming is another asset — reviewers recall bowling outings, cookouts, and even entertainment (an Elvis impersonator), which supports a cheery environment and resident engagement.

    However, a consistent counterpoint in the reviews is variability in care quality and occasional serious concerns. Several reports describe short-handed shifts and staffing shortages that affected care delivery. Specific negative incidents include missed showers, residents being left without water or assistance, and at least one allegation of rough handling (twisting an arm while helping out of bed). These accounts point to lapses in basic care and dignity for some residents. A few reviewers reported that COVID-related restrictions caused significant family distress: therapy performed in rooms, vendors not masking, and limits on visitation led to disappointment and impaired family involvement. Food quality was praised by some but also criticized by others (reports of old food), indicating inconsistency in dining experience.

    Taken together, the reviews suggest a facility that, on balance, provides strong rehabilitation and clinically effective care with many compassionate and competent staff members, and offers a clean, pleasant environment with meaningful activities. At the same time, there is a nontrivial pattern of inconsistency: staffing shortages, occasional neglect, and isolated serious complaints mean experiences can vary substantially depending on timing, shift, and individual staff. Prospective families should weigh the strong positive outcomes and therapy reputation against the reported variability, ask specific questions about staffing ratios and oversight, request references or recent family feedback, and tour both clinical and memory-care areas to assess fit. The facility appears to deliver excellent results and many satisfied families, but vigilance around quality consistency and oversight is advisable given the negative incidents reported.

    About Spring City Care and Rehabilitation Center

    Spring City Care & Rehab Center sits at 331 Hinch Street in Spring City, TN, and has 138 certified beds, with an average of about 82 residents each day, and Administrator Tommie Sue Owens oversees the facility, which is part of Signature Healthcare and works with the Tennessee Health Care Association. The center offers many services like rehabilitation, skilled nursing care, long-term care, memory care, and respite care, and it gives residents options for speech, occupational, and physical therapy, with special programs focused on care navigation, clinical services, and life enrichment, plus interfaith spirituality and cultural offerings for people from many backgrounds-something to consider if finding multi-lingual support matters, since the place supports languages like English, Afrikaans, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Arabic, Hindi, Chinese, and Japanese. Rooms and amenities serve residents' daily needs, and various programs try to address personal health and well-being, with the facility's membership in the Eden Alternative Registry showing a focus on more personal, resident-centered care, and the CNA training and family-based approach aim to support care standards. Still, there are certain facts that raise questions for some, since the center has a fairly high nurse turnover rate at 55.8%, which is higher than Tennessee's average, and it delivers fewer nurse hours per resident per day compared to the state average. Recent inspection history includes a Feb 27, 2024, complaint report documenting three deficiencies with an $8,512 fine, along with violations around timely reporting of suspected abuse or neglect, infection control, and following residents' care preferences and treatment orders, so while there was no immediate jeopardy found, federal standards weren't always met. The most recent regular health inspection was more than two years ago, though these checks are supposed to happen every 9 to 15 months, and the center has had a total of 16 deficiencies found in all. Residents can take part in clinical and spiritual life programs, and the organization works with educational and networking events for long-term care professionals, always aiming to serve people with dignity and personal attention, but it's fair to say the record shows a mix of strengths and ongoing areas where greater follow-through with care standards would help.
