In the first quarter of 2026, Newport TN Opco, LLC was managed by Newport TN Holdco, LLC, Jeffrey Arem, and Isaac Moskowitz, as reported by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). The Cocke County nursing home has remained under their ownership since June 1, 2022.

This facility operates on a for-profit basis.

For that time frame, the nursing home’s overall CMS rating was three stars, matching the average of 3.0 among nursing homes statewide in Tennessee. Facility ratings from CMS are based on main factors such as health inspection findings, staffing quantities, and the quality of care for residents.

CMS data show Newport TN Opco, LLC served an average of 88.1 residents daily in the first quarter of 2026, with a capacity of 150 beds. It is not categorized as hospital-based.

Data as of the first quarter of 2026 indicate that Newport TN Opco, LLC did not receive any fines or penalties during that period.

Cocke County, Tennessee, had two for-profit nursing homes in total.

U.S. Census Bureau estimates indicate that the number of older adults in the U.S. continues to rise while populations in younger age ranges decline. From 2020 through 2024, individuals age 65 and up grew by 13%, while those under 18 declined by 1.7%. Since 1920, the country’s older adult demographic has increased substantially, climbing from 4.9 million to more than 61 million by 2024.

Analysis published in 2021 finds nearly half of this group—which totals about 28 million people—could need long-term services and support, with projections indicating over one-third may eventually use 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. “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.”
