The Suites At Jordan River runs a nonprofit shop with 60 beds in Collierville, and staffing is the one number that stands out in a good way: 4.49 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 16 percent above the national average. Weekends dip about 11 percent below its own weekday coverage, though, and turnover sits at 54.8 percent against a national 45.8, people are leaving faster than average. The tradeoff shows up on the clinical side, where the quality measure rating is 1 out of 5 and the last inspection in March 2025 produced 8 deficiencies, none at harm level but one tied to abuse. Three fines totaling $17,644 round out the record.

Bledsoe County Nursing Home is a 50-bed county-run facility in Pikeville, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.26 hours per resident day, roughly 16 percent under the national average of 3.86. Weekends run about 12 percent lighter than weekdays there, so the leanest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Turnover is 46.2 percent, essentially tracking the national 45.8 percent. The current record shows four deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, which is the reassuring part. Its last inspection was August 2023. What you're weighing: adequate but not generous staffing, average retention, and a clean serious-deficiency record. Ask how they cover weekends.

Wyndridge runs a 157-bed nonprofit home in Crossville with nurse staffing at 4.03 hours per resident day, a bit above the national average, and turnover at 43.1%, slightly better than the typical nursing home. Weekends are the soft spot: staffing drops roughly 20% below weekday levels, so ask how that plays out on a Saturday. The inspection record shows 11 deficiencies, none at the harm level, but two tied to abuse, which is worth asking about directly. Its quality measure score sits at the low end even as staffing and inspections hold mid-range. Recent inspection: March 2026.

Ave Maria Home sits in Bartlett with 100 certified beds under nonprofit ownership, and its nurse staffing runs about 5.76 hours per resident day, roughly 49% above the national average. That sounds strong until you notice weekends drop about 11% below the home's own weekday coverage, so the hours aren't as steady as the yearly figure suggests. The inspection record is where the picture darkens: 18 deficiencies on file, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse. Two fines total $27,921, and the last inspection was May 2022, more than three years ago. So you have above-average staffing paired with a mid-tier staffing rating and real, documented problems. Worth asking the administrator directly about those abuse deficiencies and what's changed since 2022.

Stoneridge runs 38 beds in Goodlettsville under for-profit limited liability ownership, and the staffing numbers are the first thing to notice: 3.40 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends dropping roughly 18% below the home's own weekday coverage. Fifteen deficiencies sit on the current record, though none reached harm or jeopardy level and none involved abuse, and the last inspection was in March 2026. The split in CMS ratings tells the story, a 3 for health inspections but a 1 for quality measures, meaning the day-to-day care processes the government tracks aren't measuring up even where the inspection itself went reasonably.

Hardin County Nh runs 4.77 total nurse hours per resident per day, roughly a quarter more staffing than the national average, and its 44.2% turnover sits just under the national rate. Those are the positives. Against them: eleven deficiencies on the current record, three serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and $67,490 in fines across two events. The quality measure rating sits at 1 out of 5, weekend staffing drops about 17% below weekday levels, and the last inspection was February 2026. County ownership is stable, but stable isn't the same as clean. If you're considering this one, ask what specifically drove those three harm-level findings and how weekend coverage actually looks in practice.

Community Care Of Rutherford runs 131 certified beds as a nonprofit, but the numbers behind its record are worth a close look. Nurse staffing sits at 3.81 hours per resident day, just under the national average, and weekends drop about 8% below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. The bigger concerns are on the inspection side: 19 deficiencies on the current record, two of them serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, with no abuse citations. The last full inspection was in May 2022, meaning that record is getting stale. Low marks on both health inspections and staffing tell you where the problems cluster.

Wharton Nursing Home carries a heavier nurse staffing load than most places, 4.20 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, but weekends drop about 11% below its own weekday level, so the coverage families see on a Tuesday isn't what they get on a Sunday. The inspection record is the real problem: 18 deficiencies, four serious enough to put residents at harm or jeopardy, and two tied to abuse, with $69,885 in fines and the most recent inspection from February 2024. Nonprofit ownership hasn't kept the clinical side clean, and that staffing edge doesn't offset what inspectors found.

Waverly Hills Post Acute has 100 certified beds and is owned by a for-profit limited liability company. The raw staffing number looks decent, 4.36 nurse hours per resident day, about 13% above the national average, but the 2-out-of-5 staffing star rating and 61.3% annual turnover tell a different story. More than six in ten staff left over the year, well above the national 45.8%, and weekend coverage dips roughly 3% below weekdays. The inspection record is the bigger concern: 23 deficiencies, including two at harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, with a $48,110 fine attached. The most recent inspection was June 2025. Quality measures score well at 4/5, but high turnover plus that deficiency history is what pulls the overall picture down to a C.

Hartsville Convalescent Center runs 95 certified beds under corporate ownership, and its nurse staffing averages 5.64 hours per resident day, roughly 46% above the national figure of 3.86. That sounds generous until you see the 1-out-of-5 staffing star rating and 72.3% annual turnover, well above the 45.8% national average, meaning the hours are there but the faces keep changing. Weekends run about 18% leaner than weekdays. Its current record carries 27 deficiencies, one at the harm level, plus $16,796 in fines, and the last inspection was July 2024. The state's routine visit and the quality measures each landed at 2 out of 5.

Generations Center of Spencer runs 70 certified beds as a nonprofit corporation, and its staffing sits at 3.67 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 5% under the national average of 3.86. The bigger issue is consistency: weekend staffing drops about 23% below the home's own weekday levels, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover is 38.9%, better than the 45.8% national figure, which suggests some stability in the workforce. On the record, nine deficiencies, three of them abuse-related, though none rose to harm or jeopardy level. The last inspection was May 2026, and CMS gave middle-of-the-road marks on health inspections but weaker scores on quality measures and staffing.

Obion County Nursing Home runs on a county government budget, and the numbers show where that leaves the floor: 22 deficiencies on its current record, including three tied to abuse and two serious enough to put a resident in harm's way. The last inspection was in February 2026, so that record is current, not stale, and it has drawn two fines totaling $23,963. Staffing is the one place it holds up, nurse hours per resident day come in just under the national average, and CMS gives it 4 of 5 stars there, but weekends drop about 15% below its own weekday coverage, and turnover sits at 47.1%. Roughly half the staff leaving each year makes consistent care hard.

Park Meadows Post Acute runs 113 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 5.15 hours per resident day, roughly a third above the national average of 3.86. That's a real strength, and weekend coverage doesn't drop off, staying slightly above its own weekday level. The catch is who's providing that care: annual turnover hits 65.9% against a national 45.8%, meaning most of the staff you'd meet this year likely won't be there next year. The inspection record adds another wrinkle, 21 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, but the last full inspection was in May 2022. That's a long gap, and it leaves the current picture harder to read than the staffing number alone suggests.

Bolivar Health & Rehabilitation runs 67 certified beds under individual for-profit ownership, and its inspection record is the strongest thing it has going: a 4-out-of-5 health inspection rating, with the most recent survey completed in April 2025 and no deficiencies at the harm or jeopardy level. The staffing picture is weaker. At 3.57 total nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 8% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 12% below its own weekday coverage. Annual turnover of 54.5% is nearly nine points above the national rate, meaning more than half the nursing staff turns over each year. Ask how they hold weekday care steady when weekend coverage thins out.

Lexington Post Acute runs 118 certified beds under corporate ownership, and its staffing numbers are the first thing that stands out. At 3.38 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 12% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends run roughly 16% lighter than its own weekdays, which matters when residents need the same care on a Sunday as a Tuesday. Staff turnover is 54.5% against a 45.8% national figure, so the people providing that care are frequently new. Its inspection record carries 20 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse, plus $15,470 in fines. That is a lot of history to weigh against a recent inspection.

Beverly Park Place runs 271 certified beds as a nonprofit, and its biggest problem shows up in the staffing numbers. At 3.13 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 19% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 11% below its own weekday level. Turnover is 66.7%, well above the 45.8% national figure, so the aides and nurses your family would see are cycling through fast. Inspections tell a similar story: 14 deficiencies on record, six related to abuse, none rising to harm or jeopardy, and the last full look was in October 2022. Quality measures score well; staffing doesn't.

Reelfoot Manor runs 116 certified beds in Tiptonville under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers tell a mixed story. Nurse staffing sits at 3.58 hours per resident day, about 7% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 12% below the home's own weekday level, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover at 42.5% is slightly better than the 45.8% national figure, which is worth noting. What pulls the record down is oversight: 27 deficiencies on file, including one at the harm level and three tied to abuse, with the last inspection dating to May 2022. That's a long stretch without a fresh look at a home carrying those findings.

Humphreys County Care and Rehabilitation runs a nonprofit home of 91 beds in Waverly, and the staffing numbers are the strongest part of the picture: 4.28 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 11% above the national average. That edge narrows on weekends, which run about 11% below the home's own weekday level. Turnover sits at 48.4%, a bit above the national 45.8%. The inspection record is the bigger concern, 25 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and three related to abuse, with two fines totaling $14,013. The last inspection was in September 2025.

Bradley Health Care & Rehab runs 213 certified beds in Cleveland, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.42 hours per resident day, roughly 11% under the national average of 3.86, with weekend coverage dropping about 15% below what the home staffs on weekdays. Turnover runs 51% against a national 45.8%, meaning more than half the nursing staff leaves each year. The current record carries 13 deficiencies, two of them serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse. That inspection was in November 2022, so it's been a while. With a 1-out-of-5 staffing rating and 2s for inspections and quality measures, the pattern is consistent.

Bells Nursing and Rehabilitation Center runs 120 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing averages 4.30 hours per resident day, about 11% above the national figure of 3.86. That headline number deserves a closer look, though: weekend staffing drops roughly 19% below the home's own weekday coverage, and annual turnover sits at 57.4% against a national average of 45.8%, so the aides and nurses at the bedside are changing often. The current record lists 13 deficiencies, three of them abuse-related, with none at the harm or jeopardy level. The last inspection was August 2025. Its quality measure rating is 1 out of 5, even as the health inspection rating reaches 4 out of 5, a split worth asking about directly.
