These current public-data fields deserve follow-up with the facility and the official Medicare record. They are not a clinical risk score or a substitute for an in-person assessment.
This facility has areas of concern that warrant careful consideration. Registered Nurse hours are 59% of the EveryPlace reference benchmark; ask how RN coverage is allocated across shifts. The latest standard survey recorded 10 findings, above the TN average of 5.9. We recommend asking the administrator directly: "How are you addressing recent staffing shortfalls?" These are not reasons to panic, but they are reasons to ask tough questions and visit in person.
The Waters of Memphis receives highly polarized reviews, with some families praising the facility's aesthetic, cleanliness, and specific staff members, while others report severe concerns regarding neglect and poor communication.

Key Review Excerpts
“She ended up getting a UTI so bad that she was placed in ICU. please, if you love your loved one- DO NOT GO THERE!! Don’t let the cleanliness and the pretty atmosphere for you!!!!”
“The staff is all about money. They left my mother in a soiled diaper 2 days. Removed her catheter twice when it was not suppose to be removed. They had no answers and the staff will tell you that they are under staffed.”
“For the most part, the staff was kind and knowledgeable of their duties. That isn't to say I didn't encounter a little incompetence. But on a scale of 1 to 10, I'd give an 8.”
Both RN and total nursing hours are below the EveryPlace reference benchmarks. Ask the facility how it staffs each shift for current resident needs.
Reference benchmarks (0.75 RN and 4.1 total nursing hours per resident/day) are comparison targets, not current federal minimum requirements.

EveryPlace is a research directory. Facility information is compiled from public sources — Medicare.gov, state licensing portals, Google Places, and publicly available street-level imagery. Some summaries, interpretations, suggested questions, and pricing research are AI-generated or AI-assisted and may contain errors or omit important context. Listings do not constitute endorsement, recommendation, or advertisement, and we do not accept payment for placement. Families should verify all details directly with the facility and the original sources linked above before making any care decisions. See our Research Policy for our editorial standards, correction process, and image-removal policy.
