Tennessee Nursing Home Operator Settles $2M Federal and State Claims

Administrator — 2026-04-05T05:22:43Z

A Tennessee nursing-home operator has agreed to pay more than $2 million to resolve allegations that it billed Medicare and TennCare for care that failed to meet basic standards. The settlement, announced Monday, involves Lewis County Nursing and Rehabilitation—known locally as AHC Lewis County in Hohenwald, covering alleged deficiencies between 2019 and 2024.

Federal prosecutors accused the facility of providing “grossly substandard and/or worthless nursing home services” while submitting claims to government health programs. Reported issues included poor wound care, weak infection control, and inadequate fall prevention. U.S. Attorney Braden H. Boucek said the resolution was “essential to protecting the elderly and disabled residents of our community.”

Licensed as a 131-bed skilled nursing facility, AHC Lewis County has appeared on the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services' Special Focus Facility candidates list, which tracks homes with persistent quality concerns. The facility is operated by Franklin-based American Health Partners, which announced in October 2024 that it would sell its American Health Communities and Rehab America divisions to a joint venture.

Investing in Nursing Delivers Strong Returns for Hospitals, New Study Finds

Administrator — 2026-04-05T05:04:58Z

The American Nurses Enterprise (ANE) has released groundbreaking findings from its national INVEST Study, showing that hospitals that prioritize investment in nursing achieve measurable financial benefits alongside improved patient care outcomes.

The study, led by principal investigators Olga Yakusheva, PhD, FAAN, and Marianne Weiss, DNSc, RN, highlights that nurses who make up the largest share of hospital staff—should be recognized not just as a labor cost, but as vital organizational assets.

“Sustained investment in nurses improves care delivery and supports long-term performance,” said Brad Goettl, DNP, DHA, RN, FNP-C, FAAN, Chief Nursing Officer of ANE. “Organizations that invest in nurse safety, well-being, and the work environment are better positioned for operational and financial success.”

Key Highlights from the INVEST Study:
Surveyed 45 hospitals nationwide, representing 80,000+ nurses.

Examined workforce characteristics, investment expenditures, and hospital operating margins.

Collected rich qualitative insights on strategies and challenges in measuring financial outcomes.

Confirmed that nurse-focused investments drive both quality care and positive ROI.

The findings will be shared at upcoming nursing conferences and published in peer-reviewed journals later this year. An executive summary, including study aims and methodology, is available for download.

About the American Nurses Enterprise
ANE champions nurses by harnessing The Power of Nurses™ to drive innovation, advocacy, and transformation across healthcare. As the unifying force behind the American Nurses Association, the American Nurses Credentialing Center, and the American Nurses Foundation, ANE advances the nursing profession and strengthens healthcare systems nationwide.

Comprehensive Care Assessment

Administrator — 2026-04-04T15:16:25Z

At Family First, we do not believe in a "one-size-fits-all" approach. Exceptional care begins long before a caregiver steps through your door. It starts with our Comprehensive Care Assessment—a thorough, proactive evaluation conducted by our clinical leadership team.

The Assessment Process includes:

In-Home Evaluation: We visit the client's home to assess safety risks, mobility challenges, and the overall living environment.

Medical Review: We review current medical conditions, medication lists, dietary restrictions, and physical limitations.

Lifestyle & Personality Matching: We take the time to understand the client's hobbies, daily routines, emotional needs, and personality traits to find the perfect caregiver match.

Family Consultation: We listen closely to the concerns and goals of the family, ensuring everyone is aligned on the care plan.

Customized Care Plan Creation: We develop a detailed, individualized plan that serves as a roadmap for our caregivers and can be adjusted as needs change.

The Family First Difference: This assessment is the cornerstone of our 1:1 care philosophy. By deeply understanding the whole person from day one, we lay the groundwork for a safer home, better health outcomes, and a truly trusting relationship.

Expert Support for Managing Chronic Conditions at Home

Living with a chronic illness—such as heart disease, diabetes, COPD, or Parkinson's—often requires ongoing support to prevent complications and hospital readmissions.

Our Chronic Condition Support includes:

Medication Reminders: Ensuring medications are taken at the right time and in the correct dosage to manage symptoms effectively.

Symptom Monitoring: Watching for changes in condition, such as fluctuations in blood pressure, blood sugar, or breathing difficulties, and reporting them to our nursing directors immediately.

Post-Hospitalization Recovery: Assisting with the critical transition from hospital to home, ensuring discharge instructions are followed precisely.

Meaningful Companionship & Emotional Support

Loneliness and isolation can significantly impact a senior's overall health and cognitive function.
