Nurse hours

Staff turnover
35%

0

Oaks Nursing Home runs a tight ship on the clinical side, its last inspection was in June 2025, and the five deficiencies on record include nothing at the harm or jeopardy level and nothing abuse-related, which is why inspectors gave it 4 out of 5 stars. Staffing is the weaker spot. At 3.76 nurse hours per resident day, it sits just under the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage drops roughly 16% below its own weekday level, so families should ask who's actually on the floor on Saturdays and Sundays. Turnover of 34.5% is better than the 45.8% national figure, meaning caregivers here tend to stick around longer than at the typical home.

Staff turnover

Autumn Breeze runs lean on nursing hours, 3.34 per resident day, roughly 14% under the national average, and weekends dip about 10% below its own weekday staffing. That thin coverage shows up in a 2-star staffing rating, even though the home keeps its people: 23.2% turnover against a 45.8% national average, meaning fewer unfamiliar faces than most places. The inspection record is mixed. Twelve deficiencies sit on file, five of them at harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, but the most recent inspection was March 2026 and the health and quality ratings both come in at 4 stars. Corporate-owned and licensed for 109 beds, this is a home where consistency and care measures look better than raw staffing depth.

Staff turnover

0

Seminole Manor runs on 3.24 nurse hours per resident day, about 16% under the national average, and weekend coverage slips roughly 5% below its own weekday numbers. The tradeoff is a workforce that mostly stays put: turnover of 22.2% is less than half the national rate, which matters in a rural county where replacements are hard to find. Its last inspection was recent, and the 21 cited deficiencies include nothing at the harm level and nothing abuse-related. The uneven part is quality measures, where the home scores near the bottom, even as staffing holds up comparatively well.

Presbyterian Village - Athens runs a nonprofit home with 40 certified beds, and the direct-care hours are real: 4.74 per resident day, roughly 23% above the national average of 3.86. That staffing level is the strongest argument in its favor, and CMS agrees with a 4-out-of-5 staffing star. The catch is consistency and inspection history. Weekend hours drop about 14% below weekdays, annual turnover sits at 75.7% against a 45.8% national average, and the current record carries 29 deficiencies, three at harm or jeopardy level and two abuse-related, plus $18,545 in fines across three events. The most recent inspection was November 2025, so that picture is current, not stale.

Regency Park runs leaner on nursing hours than most homes, 3.48 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends dropping roughly 17% below its own weekday coverage. That gap matters most on Saturdays and Sundays, when families often visit and when less experienced coverage tends to be on the floor. The inspection record is a mixed picture: a 4-star health inspection rating and a recent survey in August 2025, but 15 deficiencies on file, two of them serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level. No abuse citations, and fines total just $8,512 across two penalties. Staff turnover sits at 45.3%, basically level with the national rate, so retention isn't the outlier here, staffing depth is.

Resorts At Pooler runs 122 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits just under the national mark, 3.82 nurse hours per resident day against 3.86 nationally, with weekends about 4% thinner than weekdays. The bigger number is turnover: 56.6% annually, well above the 45.8% national average, meaning roughly half the nursing staff cycles out each year. Eighteen deficiencies appear on the current record, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with a single $4,017 fine. Inspectors last visited in December 2025. The 2/5 inspection rating reflects those findings, while the 4/5 quality measure score shows the clinical data itself holds up.

Miona Geriatric & Dementia Center runs 88 certified beds in Ideal under for-profit LLC ownership, with a clean inspection record, zero deficiencies of any kind, including none at the harm level or abuse-related. That's a real strength, backed by a five-star health inspection rating and a recent survey. Staffing tells a more mixed story: 3.83 nurse hours per resident day sits just under the national average, and weekends dip roughly 14% below weekdays, so coverage thins when families often visit. Turnover of 35.2% is better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for dementia residents who rely on familiar faces. Quality measures land at three stars. Solid, not flawless.

Pruitthealth - Lithonia runs below the national average on nurse staffing, about 3.54 hours per resident day against 3.86 nationally, and the gap widens on weekends, when coverage drops roughly 22% below its own weekday level. That pattern matters most on Saturdays and Sundays, when families often visit and when there's simply less help on the floor. Turnover sits at 38.8%, which is better than the 45.8% national figure, so the staff who are there tend to stay. The inspection record shows 14 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent survey in March 2026. Quality measures score well; staffing is the weak spot, and it's the number worth asking about directly.

Carlyle Place runs a healthy 4.91 nurse hours per resident day, about 27% above the national average, though weekends dip roughly 14% below its own weekday coverage. The inspection record is the problem: 14 deficiencies on file, five of them at harm or jeopardy level, three tied to abuse, and a single $105,498 fine. A September 2025 inspection is recent, but the health inspection rating sits at 1 out of 5 while quality measures and staffing each land at 3. That combination, strong hours, weak oversight history, is what pulls the overall picture down. Ask specifically how the abuse-related findings were resolved and whether weekend coverage has changed.

Fountainview Center for Alzheimer's is a 120-bed for-profit home in DeKalb County, and the inspection record is the part you need to weigh hardest. Fourteen deficiencies, four of them at harm or jeopardy level, three tied to abuse, and $45,465 in fines across three events. Staffing sits slightly under the national average, and weekends run about a fifth thinner than weekdays, a pattern that matters in a dementia unit, where supervision is the safety net. Turnover is roughly average, and the 4/5 quality measure score shows some clinical care is being tracked well. But quality measures come from submitted data; inspections come from what surveyors found on-site. The May 2025 inspection is recent, which is worth something. Ask about weekend coverage and the abuse-related findings before you decide.

New Horizons Habersham runs lean on nursing hours, 3.24 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 12% below what the home staffs during the week. That gap matters most on Saturdays and Sundays, when families often visit and notice. Turnover is the brighter spot: 32.7% against a national 45.8%, which suggests people stick around longer here than at the typical home. The inspection record shows 19 deficiencies, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, with the most recent survey in December 2024. Quality measure scores sit at 2 stars, the weakest part of the profile.

Harborview Health Systems Jesup runs 90 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers here are steadier than most. Nurse staffing sits at 3.91 hours per resident day, just above the national average, though weekends drop roughly 12% below what the home staffs on weekdays, worth asking about if your family visits mainly on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover of 36.1% beats the national rate of 45.8%, which matters more than it sounds, since consistent caregivers know your parent's routines. The inspection record is clean where it counts: three deficiencies total, none at harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in May 2026.

The D Scott Hudgens Center runs 32 certified beds in Suwanee under nonprofit ownership, and its staffing is the headline: 4.45 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 15 percent above the national average. Turnover sits at 33.3 percent against a national 45.8 percent, so the people caring for residents tend to stick around, though weekend coverage drops about 9 percent below weekday levels. Inspections found 10 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with one fine of $4,017 and a recent survey in September 2025. The weaker spot is the 2/5 quality measure rating; staffing and inspection results are stronger.

Coastal Manor runs 4.19 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 9% above the national average, and its staff turnover of 37.2% beats the national 45.8%, real strengths in a rural Georgia county. But weekends drop about 15% below weekday staffing, and the inspection record includes 14 deficiencies, one at harm or jeopardy level, with three tied to abuse. Its last inspection was May 2025, so the picture is current. A 1/5 quality measure rating against a 4/5 staffing rating tells you the care presence is there but the clinical outcomes and compliance aren't keeping pace. Nonprofit ownership doesn't erase that gap. Ask about weekend coverage and the abuse-related citations specifically.

The Place At Deans Bridge runs 100 certified beds in Augusta under for-profit LLC ownership, and its inspection record is the strong point: seven deficiencies on file, none reaching harm or jeopardy level, and no abuse findings. That’s a clean survey history by any reasonable standard, and a July 2025 inspection means the picture is current. The staffing numbers pull the other way. A one-star CMS staffing rating sits well below what you'd want, and the 37.3% annual turnover, better than the national 45.8% average, still means more than a third of the direct-care workforce changed over in a year. Two fines totaling $7,456 are modest. Ask specifically who's on the floor overnight and how long the current director of nursing has been in the role.

Union County Nursing Home runs a tight ship on the things families worry about most. Its 14 deficiencies on record include none at the harm or jeopardy level and none tied to abuse, and a fresh October 2025 inspection means the picture is current. Staff turnover sits at 37.3%, better than the national 45.8%, which suggests people stick around. The tradeoff is coverage: 3.54 nurse hours per resident day lands about 8% under the national average, and weekends run roughly 29% below the home's own weekday staffing. So a weekday visit may feel well attended while a Sunday might not. Quality measure scores come in soft, though the health inspection record is strong.

Archbold Living Thomasville runs 64 certified beds as a nonprofit, and its nursing hours come in around 3.39 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, roughly 12% under. Weekend coverage dips about 9% below what the home staffs on weekdays, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. Staff turnover sits at 50%, above the 45.8% national figure, meaning about half the nursing team turns over in a year. The current inspection record carries 12 deficiencies, one of them serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level and another tied to abuse. The last inspection was March 13, 2026, so that record is recent, not stale.

Azalealand runs 107 certified beds in Savannah under corporate for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.92 hours per resident day, just above the 3.86 national average, though weekends drop about 12% below its own weekday levels. Turnover is 47.4%, slightly worse than the 45.8% national figure, so the people caring for your relative are changing fairly often. The current inspection record shows 8 deficiencies with none at the harm or jeopardy level, but one is abuse-related, which is worth asking about directly. The last inspection was March 1, 2026, so the record is recent, and staffing, inspection, and quality measures each landed at 3 out of 5 stars.

Pruitthealth - Lakeside runs 92 beds in Macon under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers pull in two directions. The health inspection record is genuinely strong, 10 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, no abuse findings, and a recent April 2026 inspection, while quality measures score at the top of CMS's scale. Staffing is the weak spot: 3.20 nurse hours per resident day sits about 17% under the national average, weekends drop roughly 15% below the home's own weekday level, and turnover runs 51.9% against a 45.8% national figure. A place can pass inspections and still leave your family member waiting on a call light. Ask specifically who covers Saturday and Sunday.

Presbyterian Village runs about 4.59 nursing hours per resident each day, roughly 19% above the national average, and weekend coverage holds within about 10% of weekday levels. Staff turnover sits at 38.2%, better than the 45.8% national figure. The weaker spots are inspections and quality measures, both rated 2 out of 5, with 12 deficiencies on the current record, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, plus one fine of $64,718. The last inspection was January 29, 2026. For a 107-bed nonprofit, the bedside staffing is the real strength here; the survey history is what pulls the overall picture down.
