Our read on West Tennessee Post Acute
West Tennessee Post Acute runs about 4.92 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 27% above the national average of 3.86, that's real coverage on paper. The catch is consistency: weekend staffing drops about 20% below its own weekday level, so the aide who knows your mother on Tuesday may not be there Saturday. Staff turnover sits at 51.9%, above the national 45.8%, meaning half the workforce turns over each year. Fourteen deficiencies are on the current record, though none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related. State inspectors last visited in May 2025. For-profit, limited liability ownership. The staffing numbers look better than the average; the retention numbers explain why that average can be hard to feel.
