Is Willow Branch Health and Rehabilitation a good nursing home? Reviews, ratings and inspection record

CMS rates it 2 out of 5 stars overall, below the Tennessee average of 3.1. Inspectors issued 11 citations in the last three years. CMS reports no fines or payment denials in that time. For short-term rehab patients CMS rates quality 1 out of 5; for long-term residents, 3 out of 5. Those results differ a lot, so ask about the unit your family member would be on.

Paying for care at Willow Branch Health and Rehabilitation: Medicare and Medicaid

Willow Branch Health and Rehabilitation is certified for both Medicare and Medicaid. Medicare Part A can cover a short skilled-nursing or rehab stay here after a qualifying hospital stay of at least three inpatient days (observation days don't count), for up to 100 days per benefit period. Medicaid can pay for long-term care for residents who meet Tennessee's income and asset rules. Being certified doesn't guarantee a Medicaid bed is open, so ask whether the home accepts residents whose Medicaid application is still pending.
