Friendly facility
The staff are extremely caring and helpful.
As far as the food goes, I think they need to have more balanced meals. More vegetables and salads.
I would recommend The Rutherford to other families looking for assisted living.

Decent place with a few improvements needed.
They are difficult to reach after 5 pm. Lots of employee turnover. Cleanliness/ housekeeping could use improvement. Regulation of air temperature could be improved. Overall- great value for the price. The location is wonderful as well.

The Rutherford Assisted Living review
I could write a book about the current director and his lack of accountability . My mom has been relocated to the memory care facility. There are issues there, too. My mom is 99 yrs old. Any change in setting would be difficult, but it's not an impossibility.

Our Experience
The Rutherford met our expectations and more. My sister never complained. They had hospice care ready for us. My brother attend family parties with her. To us, everything is expensive but worth the services because we could not take care of her in our home.

Not recommended
My loved one was previously a resident at The Rutherford Assisted Living and overall the experience for her at this facility was poor. There are major problems going on at this facility. I had a few major concerns, the first being the big turn over in staff and upper management. The second, relative to that, is the staff not answering call lights many times. Lastly, one of the night shift workers came into my loved one's room and stole her cellphone. This is not a facility that I would put my loved one in, I do not recommend it to others.

Accommodating staff cares for my father.
The Rutherford has been good to my father. He has his own space and three square meals a day, which he says are very good. He loves the food. The thing I like about The Rutherford is they were willing to work with me in payments until I sold my father's house. It was a win for both my father and I.

Takes great care of loved one
My loved one likes the food. The offer, go to easy meals, like sandwiches. Having a variety of things to offer, would increase their ratings. We picked this community because it was close and because of its affordability. They have been very responsive and were good at working with me, to get my loved one settled in. I would recommend to other families.

Would not recommend
The staffing was short. The billing and trying to keep all of that straight and communicate with the billing person was also very difficult. We took our loved one out of here after only about a month and a half. There was 2 months I was paying and he was not even there, I understand you have to pay for the room but they were charging me for the meds and nursing care. I really had to fight with them to try and get that back.
When we were moving in we were not aware of this, but they had just been bought out by another company. Apparently it has really gone downhill.
Overall it was not a good experience and I would not recommend The Rutherford to others looking based off of our experience.

A nice community and friendly staff
It is very nice to walk into The Rutherford and have all the staff recognize you, it makes us feel very welcomed. They have a ton of activities like singing programs, arts and crafts, exercise programs and they even have a hair dresser come to the community. You can do all of this without ever having to leave the building. Considering the care our loved one is getting the value for cost is very reasonable.

Roaches
When I worked here as a nurse we would have to help in the kitchen sometimes and there’s roaches everywhere they crawl on the cabinets and food and plates it’s nasty. Nothing employees can do about it. They have a high turnover rate among the entire staff. They switched the name from Sunnington to The Rutherford and think they can slap some paint and new decor on the building and it’ll fix the problems…yeah right. Send your family somewhere better cause this ain’t it.

Highly recommend
The room sizes here were great, she was in a one bedroom and it was kind of like a suite, it had a sitting area and then a little separate bedroom and kitchenette. I know that she really liked the different activities that they were able to provide such as getting her nails done, ice cream parlor, etc. Overall. I would recommend the community to others.

Caring staff
The staff is great, very caring, and friendly. They are sincere, caring people. The food was better when it was served in the dining room. They are serving chicken and turkey numerous times a week with no seasoning very limited options. The rooms are nice sized and the layout of the community is good.

[Name removed] was the gracious hostess of my tour. The facility is visually pleasing and is well lit. [Name removed] said that the common spaces are to receive new finishes in the near future. We encountered a number of active residents on our tour. Everyone was friendly. I will definitely consider The Rutherford when the time comes.
My rating is based on limited experience.

I was impressed with the friendliness of the staff towards everyone. The nurses, front desk clerk, and administration staff seamed to know all residents by name, and addressed them as such. The security seemed to be quite good, unlike the last place I saw. The rooms were nice size, and the price is competitive. The only concern for me is that they are ready to begin renovations to all common areas very soon and I am not sure my mom's allergies can withstand that. This place definitely is on my short list though. If it were already renovated, I would have given 5 stars.

Wonderful home for my dad
Sunnington provided the warmth in a blustery situation. This Assisted Living facility did exactly what its name says – assisted our family in living. All of Sunnington staff provide compassionate care. The concern for safety, meals, medication, and companionship is shared by everyone. Our family and Sunnington are unified in the ultimate goal to help Daddy find peace in the blustery process of aging! Simply-Sunnington becomes your extended family!

Not a Ruthie's winner in my book!
We loved having my grandmother in Sunnington for the 1st year or so, then they started slacking on her care. They were not notifying us when she was ill or had fallen. And was not checking up on her as they were suppose too. And I know someone who walked straight in at 4 am and the doors were unlock and walked all over looking for staff and finally went into the kitchen to find someone. Many residents have dementia/sun downers and the door is supposed to be locked at night and we are supposed to buzzed in. How scary is that! That my grandmother who has sun downers could have walked straight out and no one would have known. And she fell several weeks ago and broke arm and has has to have surgery and now in rehabilitation and they are implying they are don't want her to come back. Keep trying to have us pull her out. And we asked if she could be moved to the memory care since she has Alzhiemers and they are saying she doesn't qualify due to her not being mobile and that is not true. She walks with a cane at rehab and is actually more mobile now than she was before. Very unhappy! And very tempted call [Removed] and let them know what has happened. They are just trying to cover there butts since we have been complaining. We have been documenting everything. Will post this on every review site.

Carolyn, any time family members have concerns regarding their loved one we welcome you to share those concerns with us so we can address them. Your grandmother has been a wonderful part of the Sunnington family for some time and we enjoy having her with us.
As with any of our residents when anything happens that requires a time of rehabilitation we stay actively involved as part of the interdisciplinary team to get the them back to their "home" as quickly as we can. It is always our goal to work with our resident and her (or his) family, as well as the therapy team to make sure the resident is safe prior to return. This process worked very well in your grandmothers case.
Sunnington Assisted Living is not a secure dementia unit. Although we do provide security in this building it is not designed as a secure unit like our dementia building, Sunnington Senior Care.

Tips for evaluating your community options
Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:
Tour the location: Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.
Confirm the availability of required services: Before you commit, make sure that the community offers all the services your senior needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.
Know the Tennessee regulations for Assisted Living: Each state has its own laws and inspections processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the community(ies) you’re considering. Learn more about Tennessee regulations for Assisted Living.
