Johnson City is what happens when a mountain town actually keeps its infrastructure updated. Buffalo Mountain serves as the local compass, and East Tennessee State University prevents the culture from getting dusty. Specialized medical offices are clustered together so driving between appointments doesn't eat your entire Tuesday. The geography is rugged but the daily logistics are surprisingly flat.

This is what the inspectors wrote down.

Every score on this page is built from federal CMS inspection results and state licensing records — the same findings a regulator sees. Not brochures, not tours, not what a facility says about itself.
