Nurse hours

Staff turnover
24%
Serious cites
0

Staffing is the real story at Terraces at Peachtree Hills Place: 7.90 nurse hours per resident day is more than double the national average of 3.86, and that coverage holds steady on weekends rather than thinning out the way it often does elsewhere. Turnover sits at 24.3% against a national 45.8%, so the people providing that care tend to stick around. The current record shows seven deficiencies, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, and the last inspection was in May 2026. For a 25-bed for-profit LLC, the weak spot is quality measures at 3 out of 5 stars, not the hands-on care.

Pebblebrook Health Center runs 60 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing numbers are the story here: 5.39 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 40% above the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips only about 5% below weekday levels, and annual turnover sits at 34.1% against a national 45.8%, both signs of a steadier floor than most. The tradeoffs are modest: a 3/5 on health inspections, 10 deficiencies on record with none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, plus three fines totaling $19,408. The last inspection was May 2025, so the picture is current.

Marsh's Edge runs a small 20-bed operation, and its nurse staffing sits at 10.54 hours per resident day, roughly triple the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage drops about 12% below its own weekday level, so families should ask who's actually on the floor on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover is 55.2%, nearly ten points above the national 45.8%, which means the people caring for residents change often. On the regulatory side, the record is clean where it counts: two total deficiencies, none involving harm or abuse, and the last inspection was May 2025. The for-profit LLC ownership and strong inspection history round out a picture of a well-staffed home with a retention problem.

Heart Of Georgia Nursing Home runs on 4.00 nurse hours per resident per day, a bit above the national average, and its staff turnover of 29.3% sits well under the 45.8% national figure, that kind of retention is not common in for-profit nursing homes and usually shows up in how consistently residents are cared for. The catch is weekends, when staffing drops roughly 19% below the home's own weekday level, so coverage isn't evenly spread across the week. Inspections in January 2026 turned up 11 deficiencies, two tied to abuse, though none reached harm or jeopardy level. Eastman's only Medicare-certified home, corporate-owned, with a 3/5 inspection score.

Life Care Ctr Of Lawrenceville runs a 125-bed for-profit operation where the day-to-day staffing picture is genuinely better than most: 4.24 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a tenth above the national average, and turnover at 32.9% sits well below the 45.8% national figure. Weekends thin out by about 15% against its own weekday coverage, so that's worth asking about directly. The problem is the inspection record, a 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating, 15 deficiencies with three at the harm or jeopardy level, and a single $167,336 fine, even with quality and staffing both rated 4 out of 5 and the most recent inspection in March 2026. Ask what those harm-level citations involved.

Serious cites

Blue Ridge Care Center runs 4.11 nurse hours per resident day, about 6% above the national average, and its 37.2% turnover is better than the 45.8% typical elsewhere. Weekend staffing, though, drops roughly 13% below its own weekday level, so coverage thins when families tend to visit. The 22 deficiencies on record include one abuse-related finding, though none rose to harm or jeopardy, and the most recent inspection was December 2025. What holds the numbers back is that two-star health inspection result; the strong quality measure and staffing ratings reflect day-to-day care and workforce, not the survey history.

Hart Care Center runs 117 certified beds in Hartwell as a for-profit corporation, and its inspection record is the standout: a single deficiency on file, none involving harm or abuse, from a visit in March 2025. Staffing tells a more mixed story. At 3.77 nurse hours per resident day, it sits just under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 19% below its own weekday coverage, the pattern families tend to notice on Saturday afternoons. Turnover, though, is genuinely low at 33.3% against a national 45.8%, which matters for whether your mother sees the same aides month to month. Quality measures score well; staffing is the soft spot.

Pruitthealth - Sylvester runs leaner on nurse staffing than most homes, about 3.46 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 16% below its own weekday numbers. What stands out instead is retention: 23.5% annual turnover is roughly half the national rate, so the people caring for your family member tend to stick around. The inspection record backs that up, four deficiencies on file, none involving harm or abuse, with the most recent state visit in April 2025. A for-profit corporate owner, 117 beds, and a strong showing on both quality measures and health inspections. The one real question mark is raw staffing hours, especially on weekends.

Pinewood runs lean on nurses, 2.88 hours per resident per day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop another 14% below its own weekday numbers. That thin coverage is the main reason its staffing rating lands at the bottom. The counterweight is stability: turnover sits at 22.9%, roughly half the national rate, so the aides and nurses who are there tend to stay. Inspections came back at 3 stars with 19 deficiencies on record, none at harm level, though two are abuse-related, worth asking about directly. Quality measures score 5 stars, but those are largely self-reported. Ask how many CNAs are actually on the floor on a Saturday night.

Salude sits in Suwanee with 64 certified beds and a for-profit LLC structure behind it. Nurse staffing runs 4.68 hours per resident day, roughly 21% above the national average, though weekends dip about 8% below what the home staffs on weekdays. Staff turnover lands at 50.6%, higher than the 45.8% national figure, meaning the people caring for residents change fairly often. The inspection record is clean: one deficiency total, none at harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related, with the most recent visit in September 2025. That combination, strong weekday coverage, a spotless survey history, but churn among the workforce, is what a B grade reflects.

Life Care Center of Gwinnett runs 163 certified beds in Lawrenceville under corporate for-profit ownership, and its inspection record is genuinely solid, four out of five stars, eight deficiencies on the current books with none at the harm or jeopardy level and nothing abuse-related, and the most recent state visit came in April 2025. Staffing is where it thins out: 3.60 nurse hours per resident day sits about 7% under the national average, weekends run roughly 10% lighter than weekdays, and turnover lands at 44%, essentially tracking the national figure. Quality measures score a perfect five, which reflects how residents are actually doing day to day. The tension is real, good outcomes and clean inspections, carried by a crew that's stretched slightly thinner than average on weekends.

Christian City Rehabilitation Center runs 200 certified beds in Union City under individual for-profit ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.73 nurse hours per resident day, just under the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop roughly 15% below its own weekday coverage, which matters if your family visits or calls on Saturdays and Sundays. Turnover runs 39.7%, better than the 45.8% national figure, so workers tend to stay longer here than at the typical home. Inspections in April 2025 turned up 25 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, though one was abuse-related. Its quality measure scores are strong; the health inspection side is where it gives ground.

Rockmart Health runs a tight ship on inspections, zero deficiencies on its current record, none involving harm or abuse, and a five-star health inspection rating from CMS. That's rare company. Staff turnover sits at 27.5%, well under the national average of 45.8%, which suggests people actually stay. The tradeoff shows up in daily coverage: 3.66 nurse hours per resident day, about 5% under the national average, with weekends running roughly 7% thinner than weekdays. So you get consistency and a clean regulatory record, but slightly less hands-on time than average, especially on Saturdays and Sundays. Worth asking the administrator how weekend coverage is actually staffed.

Pavilion at Brandon Wilde runs about 4.45 nursing hours per resident per day, roughly 15% above the national average, and that shows up in a 4-out-of-5 staffing rating. The catch is weekends, when hours drop about 18% below the home's own weekday level. Staff turnover sits at 43.6%, a touch better than the 45.8% national figure but still a lot of churn. Inspections are the weak spot: 21 deficiencies on record, including one abuse-related citation, with no harm-level findings. Ownership is for-profit through an LLC, and the last inspection was in April 2026. The people are there; the oversight record is uneven.

Pruitthealth - Jasper runs a 60-bed for-profit home in Pickens County with a recent inspection on the books, and the record shows 16 deficiencies with none rising to harm or jeopardy and nothing abuse-related. Nurse staffing sits at 3.77 hours per resident day, a hair under the national 3.86, but weekends drop roughly 23% below the home's own weekday coverage, worth asking about if your family visits or calls on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover of 34.7% actually beats the 45.8% national average, which matters for whether your parent sees the same faces month to month. Quality measures score well; the inspection history has real findings but nothing serious.

Pruitthealth - Rome runs on better-than-average nurse hours, 4.04 per resident day against a national 3.86, and its 31.6% turnover is meaningfully lower than the 45.8% typical elsewhere, so the people caring for residents tend to stay. Weekends thin out, though, with staffing roughly 14% below weekday levels. The harder problem shows up on inspections: 14 deficiencies on the current record, three of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, plus one tied to abuse, and two fines totaling $17,345. A single star on health inspections against five on quality measures suggests the day-to-day care metrics look strong while the survey history tells a rougher story. Ask about those harm-level findings directly.

Pruitthealth - Blue Ridge runs 101 certified beds under corporate ownership, and the numbers tell a mixed story. Nurse staffing sits at 3.70 hours per resident day, roughly 4% under the national average, and weekends drop about 15% below what the home staffs on weekdays, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover is 41.3%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure, and the inspection record is clean where it matters most: 22 deficiencies, but none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related. A recent July 2025 inspection and strong marks on quality measures round out a home that's decent on care outcomes, lighter on daily staffing consistency.

Weekends drop about 20% below the home's own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. Turnover, though, is a genuine bright spot at 33.9% against a national 45.8%, and the inspection record shows 14 deficiencies with none at harm or jeopardy level and nothing abuse-related. The last inspection was September 2025. Quality measures score well; staffing and inspections are middle of the pack.

Delmar Gardens Of Smyrna runs 120 certified beds under corporate ownership, and the staffing numbers sit below where you'd want them. Total nurse coverage comes in at 3.67 hours per resident day against a 3.86 national average, and weekends drop roughly 12% below the home's own weekday level, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Turnover at 41.1% is a notch better than the 45.8% national figure, which is real but modest. The bigger issue is the inspection record: 23 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse, with a $23,537 fine and a recent February 2026 inspection. Quality measures score well, but that sits alongside a two-star staffing and health inspection picture. Ask directly how the abuse-related citations were resolved.

Parkside at Budd Terrace runs 250 beds in Atlanta under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing picture is genuinely solid on paper, 4.48 nurse hours per resident day, about 16% above the national average, though weekends drop roughly 12% below its own weekday levels. The trouble shows up in turnover: 63.3% annually against a national 45.8%, meaning nearly two-thirds of the nursing staff leaves each year. Inspections tell the harder story: a 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating, 37 deficiencies on record, three tied to abuse, and a survey just completed in April 2026. Strong quality scores and above-average weekday staffing sit alongside that inspection history, which is what makes this home hard to summarize in one word.
