Delaware Bay Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center runs 139 certified beds in Georgetown under for-profit LLC ownership. Nurse staffing sits at 4.00 hours per resident day, roughly 4% above the national average, but weekends drop about 12% below the home's own weekday levels, and turnover runs 49.3% against a national 45.8%, so the coverage looks steadier on paper than it likely feels on a Saturday. The inspection record is where the picture darkens: 38 deficiencies, four at harm or jeopardy level, two tied to abuse, and a $62,618 fine. A 2/5 health inspection rating against 3/5 marks for staffing and quality measures suggests the clinical care itself isn't the main trouble. Ask about weekend coverage and the abuse findings specifically.

Evergreen Post Acute runs 151 beds in Smyrna, and its inspection record is the main thing to know going in. The current file shows 69 deficiencies, seven of them serious enough to cause harm or jeopardy, plus six tied to abuse. Two fines total $94,156, and the last inspection was April 2025. Nurse staffing sits at 3.71 hours per resident day, about 4 percent under the national average, and it thins further on weekends. Staff turnover of 51 percent runs above the 45.8 percent national figure, which matters for whether caregivers know your family member. The quality measure stars look strong, but that score comes from resident assessments, not from how the place is run day to day.

Cadia Rehabilitation Pike Creek runs a for-profit operation under an LLC, with 177 certified beds in Wilmington. The raw nurse staffing number looks strong at 4.52 hours per resident day, about 17% above the national average, but that average hides a drop of roughly 12% on weekends, when families often do their visiting. Staff turnover sits at 48.2%, slightly worse than the 45.8% national figure, and CMS gives the home just 2 out of 5 stars for staffing and 2 for health inspections, despite a 5-star quality measure score. The inspection record carries 40 deficiencies, five at harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, plus three fines totaling $78,351, with the most recent inspection in April 2025.

Coral Springs Rehab runs 169 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing numbers are where I'd start. At 3.57 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 7% under the national average, and weekends dip roughly 9% below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Annual turnover hits 60.8% against a 45.8% national figure, which means the aides and nurses on the floor keep changing. The inspection record backs that up: 63 deficiencies, four at harm or jeopardy level, four tied to abuse, and $99,184 in fines across three penalties. Two stars for health inspections and two for staffing, with a recent December 2025 inspection. Worth asking hard questions before you decide.

Nurse hours

Staff turnover
68%
Serious cites

The staffing number looks fine on paper, 3.96 nurse hours per resident day, just above the national average, but that average hides a churn problem. Nearly 68% of staff turned over in a year, against a national rate around 46%, and weekend coverage drops about 7% below weekdays, so the people at the bedside keep changing. The inspection record is the harder read: 67 deficiencies, four serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, four tied to abuse, and $153,884 in fines. A for-profit limited liability company runs it, and its last inspection was February 2026. Quality measures score well; staffing and inspections do not.
