What is the latest HFC survey date for Asbury Ridge?
The HFC listing gives September 13, 2023 as Asbury Ridge's most recent survey, which was 37 months before this page was generated.
Tennessee's ACLF rule calls for an unannounced visit within 15 months of the last one, so this date is older than the cycle. Public listings are sometimes updated late; ask the administrator for the most recent statement of deficiencies and the plan of correction that answered it.
This listing is newer than the seven-county median of 38 months.
How many secured dementia beds does Asbury Ridge report?
Yes. The October 2026 bed report credits Asbury Ridge with 22 secured beds within its 48-bed license; Tennessee treats a secured unit as a distinct area where residents are deliberately kept from leaving except as fire safety requires.
A Tennessee secured unit has to keep an attendant awake and on the unit 24 hours a day, document a daily staffing pattern, re-evaluate every placement quarterly and train every unit worker on dementia care each year. Read the full secured-unit rules.
Has Asbury Ridge paid state penalties?
Yes. The state lists 1 disciplinary action for Asbury Ridge, most recently on April 3, 2024; Tennessee can fine an ACLF up to $1,000 per violation for most care and records problems and up to $3,000 per resident for keeping someone the building is not allowed to serve.
- April 3, 2024: Board Consent Order assessing two (2) Civil monetary penalties of three thousand dollars ($3,000) each, for a total CMP assessment of six thousand dollars ($6,000) due thirty (30) days from ratification (Violations affecting the health, safety & welfare of residents.)
Nearly all of these orders in Tennessee are consent orders, where the operator pays the penalty instead of going to a hearing. The order itself describes what surveyors found; ask the administrator what changed afterward.

What should we confirm with Asbury Ridge before signing?

- The listed survey is 37 months old: ask for the newest statement of deficiencies and its plan of correction.
- Ask how medication errors are tracked and who on staff is responsible for the medication cart.
- Ask how many staff are awake in the building between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m.
- Ask how families take part in the quarterly placement reviews the secured-unit rule requires.
- Ask which TennCare health plans, if any, the community works with for CHOICES members.
- Ask for the fee schedule in writing; the rule requires 30 days' notice to residents before fees change.
