Crockett County Nursing Home gets rare perfect score on State Health Department Survey

ALAMO, TN – For more than 40 years, Crockett County residents have known that the caregivers at their local nursing home are something special. Now it appears that State Health Department inspectors agree.

Crockett County Nursing Home was recently recognized by the state with a zero-deficiency survey. The finding was announced following the facility’s annual, comprehensive inspection was conducted May 14-16.

In receiving the perfect score, the nursing home was recognized for meeting or exceeding state and federal standards in literally dozens of areas including patient care, cleanliness, food preparation and administrative excellence. Zero deficiency surveys are extremely rare under the current system for evaluating nursing homes, which places facilities under a grueling spotlight.

“We are extremely proud of our caregivers and our facility for being recognized as having no deficiencies on our latest survey,” said Sherma Crutchfield, administrator of Crockett County Nursing Home. “This is a reflection on the dedicated efforts our staff members make each day and our commitment to our residents.”
