All 3 Medicare-certified nursing homes in Bartlett,
side by side on the things that separate them: how many nursing hours each resident gets, how much of the
staff leaves each year, and what inspectors found on their last visit.
The Kings Daughters And Sons runs a leaner ship than most on paper: 5.28 nurse hours per resident day, well above the national average of 3.86, with weekends dipping only slightly from weekdays. But the inspection record tells a rougher story, nine deficiencies, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse, plus two fines totaling $13,498. Staff turnover sits at 53.5%, higher than the national 45.8%, which matters when continuity of care is already strained by a two-star health inspection. The last state visit was October 2023, so that record is aging. Strong staffing is real; so is what inspectors found.
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.
Rainbow Rehab And Healthcare runs 115 certified beds in Bartlett under for-profit limited liability ownership. Nurse staffing sits at 3.41 hours per resident day, roughly 12 percent under the national average, and weekends drop about 17 percent below the home's own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. Turnover is 43.7 percent, slightly better than the national 45.8 percent, and the current record shows seven deficiencies with none at harm or jeopardy level and no abuse findings. What stands out is timing: the last inspection was June 30, 2022, meaning the two-year-old findings behind that 2/5 inspection rating may not reflect how the building runs today.
