Hartsville Convalescent Center earned a 2 out of 5 overall rating for the first quarter of 2026, according to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). This figure falls below the statewide Tennessee nursing home average of 3.0 for the period.

According to U.S. Census Bureau estimates, the number of older adults in the U.S. continues to expand as younger population groups decrease. Between 2020 and 2024, Americans ages 65 and older increased by 13%, while the population under 18 saw a 1.7% decline. The country’s older adult population has grown dramatically over the last century, rising from 4.9 million in 1920 to over 61 million by 2024.
A 2021 study estimates nearly half of this group—about 28 million people—could need long-term services and support. The report also projects more than one-third are likely to require nursing home care.
“Living a long life is something that many of us want and could get,” said Jesse Slome, executive director of the American Association for Long-Term Care Insurance, an organization focused on insurance education. “But when we live a long life, the chances of us needing long-term care increase exponentially. But when you need that type of care, there are limited options.”
