Is Ascension Living Alexian Village Tennessee a good nursing home? Reviews, ratings and inspection record

There are no official resident reviews of nursing homes: Medicare's Care Compare publishes inspections, staffing and quality data instead. Here is what that record shows for Ascension Living Alexian Village Tennessee as of October 2026.

CMS rates it 1 out of 5 stars overall, below the Tennessee average of 3.1. Inspectors issued 28 citations in the last three years. CMS imposed 1 penalty, including $12,438 in fines, in that time. For short-term rehab patients CMS rates quality 5 out of 5; for long-term residents, 2 out of 5. Those results differ a lot, so ask about the unit your family member would be on.

Paying for care at Ascension Living Alexian Village Tennessee: Medicare and Medicaid

Ascension Living Alexian Village Tennessee 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.
