Size and setting
Located in Memphis, Tennessee, this facility operates 120 certified beds with an average daily census of roughly 6 residents - an occupancy rate of about 5%. The facility is classified under non profit - corporation ownership, a designation that can influence staffing patterns, reinvestment decisions, and admissions policy. At roughly 5% occupancy, this facility is running well below its certified bed capacity, worth asking why directly.
Same-ownership peers
Within Tennessee, Kirby Pines Manor is one of 31 non profit - corporation nursing homes CMS rates. Its 5-star overall rating sits above the non profit - corporation-segment average of 2.9 stars, ahead of roughly 81% of same-ownership peers in the state.
