Signature HealthCARE of Memphis

Signature HealthCARE of Memphis sits close to I-40 and Sycamore, in a large, licensed 140-bed nursing facility where an average of 117 residents live each day, and they offer skilled nursing care, short-term rehab, long-term care, memory care, respite care, and therapy services like physical, occupational, and speech therapy, so there's usually plenty of options for folks needing different levels of care under one roof, no matter if someone is there for just a little while or for the long term. Some rooms and services have their own special names, with care programs like TransitionalCARE for reducing hospital readmissions and ExceleratedCARE units for post-acute needs, plus life enrichment events help residents stay active and social even if they have health or physical problems. The facility provides on-site care for things like pressure ulcers and infections, and it has amenities meant to make living there feel comfortable, sometimes even more comfortable than home, and they do things like CNA week and CNA appreciation events for their certified nursing assistants, and there's a virtual education program for those who can't make it to in-person activities. Administrators like Paul Martin oversee daily operations, while Cora Eshmon has had managerial control for over a decade, and the facility links up with groups like Agemo Holdings and others-held as a for-profit company owned and managed by various entities, all part of the Signature HealthCARE network. They've reported a nurse turnover rate of about 47.7%, sitting just under the state average, but staffing runs lower than the state average at 3.59 nurse hours per resident per day, which means staff may be spread a bit thinner than some places. There's a CNA training program on site, and care navigation aims to help residents and their families understand choices and services. The facility features private and group programs, offers a facility finder, and tries to meet specific resident needs with different amenities. Even though the place aims for good care, it's worth knowing that there have been citations in the past, including not keeping residents' medical records private (Resident Rights deficiency F0583), not communicating enough information at discharge (Resident Assessment and Care Planning deficiency F0661), and not always giving treatment according to care orders and resident wishes (Quality of Life and Care deficiency F0684). The facility has had 15 deficiencies found in its inspection reports, including two infection control deficiencies, and the last standard inspection happened more than two years ago, which might be a concern for those wanting the most recent oversight.
