Nursing homes across Shelby County, Tennessee, graded on the federal inspection
record, nurse staffing and staff turnover. County rank is shown on each home's profile.
Spring Gate runs 206 beds in Memphis under for-profit LLC ownership, and its last inspection was in October 2024. The raw staffing number looks fine, 3.95 nurse hours per resident day, just above the national average, but that figure hides two problems: weekend coverage drops about 13% below the home's own weekday level, and annual turnover sits at 67.5% against a national 45.8%, meaning most of the people providing that care are new or on their way out. The inspection record is where it gets serious: 37 deficiencies, three at harm or jeopardy level, two tied to abuse, and $128,974 in fines. Quality measures score well, but a 1-star inspection rating and 2-star staffing tell you where to look first.
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.
Shelby Oaks Post Acute runs on 3.51 nurse staffing hours per resident day, about 9% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 17% below what the home staffs during the week. That thin coverage shows up in the numbers: 59.7% annual turnover, against a national average of 45.8%, meaning most of the people caring for residents weren't there a year ago. The inspection record is worse, 22 deficiencies, two at harm or jeopardy level, two tied to abuse, and $83,589 in fines. The last inspection was January 8, 2026, so the record is recent, not stale. This is a for-profit LLC with a one-star health inspection rating and a one-star staffing rating.
Graceland Rehabilitation and Nursing Care Center is a 240-bed for-profit home in Memphis, and the numbers behind its record are worth walking through carefully. Nurse staffing sits at 3.47 hours per resident per day, about 10 percent under the national average, and it thins out further on weekends. That shortfall matters given a 51.6 percent annual turnover rate, meaning the aides and nurses caring for residents are changing constantly. The inspection history is the harder part: 33 deficiencies on the current record, 10 of them at the level where harm or jeopardy to residents occurred, three tied to abuse, plus $342,603 in federal fines. CMS has placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, which is reserved for homes with a persistent pattern of serious problems, and the most recent inspection was May 13, 2025.
Majestic Gardens runs 169 beds under corporate ownership, and the staffing numbers are where the trouble starts. At 3.36 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 13% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 11% below its own weekday coverage. Staff turnover hits 68.5%, well above the 45.8% national figure, so caregivers are cycling through constantly.
The inspection record is worse: 37 deficiencies on file, including 4 at the harm or jeopardy level and 5 tied to abuse. CMS has levied 9 fines totaling $810,404 and placed the home in its Special Focus Facility program, a designation reserved for the country's most persistently troubled homes. The most recent inspection was September 11, 2025.
