Cherokee Specialty Care runs 3.67 nurse hours per resident day, about 5% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip roughly 6% below its own weekday staffing. Turnover sits at 41.3%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure, though not by much. What stands out is the inspection record: 34 deficiencies, including 2 at the harm or jeopardy level and 5 tied to abuse. That's a lot to carry for a 62-bed nonprofit, and it explains the 2-star health inspection rating. The last inspection was in May 2025, so the findings are recent.
