Our read on Memphis Jewish Home

Memphis Jewish Home runs on 5.66 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 47 percent above the national average of 3.86, and that shows up in its four-star staffing rating. The catch is consistency: weekend coverage drops about 12 percent from weekday levels, and turnover sits at 56.1 percent against a national 45.8 percent, so the people delivering that strong staffing number keep changing. Fourteen deficiencies sit on the current record, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, though none are abuse-related. Its last inspection came in February 2026, and quality measures score two stars against four for health inspections, so the hands-on care is there, but watch how it holds up on weekends and who's still on staff a year from now.
