All 20 Medicare-certified nursing homes in Charlotte,
side by side on the things that separate them: how many nursing hours each resident gets, how much of the
staff leaves each year, and what inspectors found on their last visit.
Novant Health Presbyterian's skilled unit is tiny, just 12 certified beds inside a Charlotte hospital, and it runs on an unusual amount of nursing attention: 6.47 hours per resident day, roughly 68% above the national figure. Weekend coverage barely dips, about 1% off weekday levels, which is rare. Inspectors visited recently, in August 2025, and the record shows five deficiencies with none causing harm or involving abuse. The tradeoff is staff retention: 53.3% annual turnover sits above the 45.8% national average, meaning the people delivering that care keep changing. Five-star ratings across inspection, quality, and staffing round out the picture. For a short-term rehab stay after a hospital procedure, this is about as well-covered as it gets.
Brookdale Carriage Club Providence runs 14 certified beds, and its nurse staffing sits at 8.55 hours per resident day, roughly 121% above the national average of 3.86. That's an unusually high number, though weekend coverage drops about 17% below what the home staffs on weekdays, so the weekday figure isn't the whole story. The inspection record shows 11 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection dated May 2026. Quality and inspection measures both come in at the top of CMS's five-star scale, and the corporate, for-profit owner operates a small home where the staffing-to-resident ratio is the clearest signal in the data.
Briar Creek Health Center runs six certified beds in Charlotte under corporate for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 10.64 hours per resident day, roughly 176% above the national average. Weekend coverage dips about 7% below its own weekday level, but that still leaves it unusually well staffed. The current record shows 8 deficiencies, 2 of them at the harm or jeopardy level, with no abuse citations and one fine totaling $8,606. Its last inspection was in May 2026, and CMS rates it 4 out of 5 on inspections, quality measures, and staffing alike. For a home this small, the staffing number is the headline; the harm-level deficiencies are what a family should ask about directly.
The Stewart Health Center runs 5.50 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 42% above the national average, and its staff turnover of 33.3% sits well below the 45.8% national figure. That's real consistency on the floor, though weekend coverage dips about 7% from weekday levels. Where the numbers get harder to explain is the inspection record: 14 deficiencies, two of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and two fines totaling $57,971. A 2-out-of-5 inspection rating against a 4-out-of-5 staffing rating is an unusual split, the people are there, but the last survey in May 2025 still found problems worth citing.
The Sharon At Southpark runs 19 certified beds as a nonprofit, and its nurse staffing sits at 12.56 hours per resident day, roughly triple the national average of 3.86. That's an unusual number, and it shows up in the weekend data too, though weekend coverage still runs about 23% below the home's own weekday level. Turnover is the softer spot: 63.3% annually against a national 45.8%, meaning the people providing that care are changing over fairly often. On inspections, the record shows 10 deficiencies with none at the harm or jeopardy level and nothing abuse-related, and the most recent visit was November 25, 2025.
Sardis Oaks runs lean on nursing hours, 3.21 per resident per day against a national average of 3.86, and the gap widens on weekends, when staffing drops roughly 24 percent below its own weekday level. That thin weekend coverage is worth asking about directly, since it's when families often can't visit. Turnover sits at 44 percent, essentially matching the national rate, so the issue isn't churn so much as how many hands are scheduled per shift. Sixteen deficiencies appear on the current record, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, and the most recent inspection was recent. Quality measures score well; staffing is where the numbers fall short.
Mecklenburg Heath And Rehabilitation runs 100 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its inspection record is genuinely solid, a 4-out-of-5 health inspection rating, 13 deficiencies with none at the harm or jeopardy level, and just one fine of $4,475. The catch is staffing. At 3.57 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 7% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 15% below its own weekday coverage. Annual turnover of 52.1% tops the national 45.8%, so aides and nurses cycle through faster than average. Quality measures score high, but that staffing number is the one to ask about directly, especially on weekends.
White Oak Manor in Charlotte runs 180 beds under corporate ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.53 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 9% under the national figure. Weekends drop about 12% below its own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. The 48.6% turnover rate runs slightly above the national average, and the inspection record is the real trouble: 21 deficiencies, two serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, plus $69,804 in fines. A recent April 2026 inspection keeps that record current. Quality measures score well, but strong numbers on paper don't offset thin weekend coverage and a repeated pattern of serious findings.
Asbury Health And Rehabilitation Center runs on more nursing hours than most homes, 4.66 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and its quality measure score is strong. But the same staff is almost entirely turning over every year, roughly double the national rate, which means the person caring for your relative this month is likely gone the next. Inspections back that up: 19 deficiencies on record, three serious enough to put residents in harm's way and one tied to abuse, with $47,996 in fines. Weekend coverage also dips below weekday levels. The staffing numbers look good on paper; the consistency behind them doesn't.
Crown Haven runs on 3.09 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a fifth below the national average, and weekend coverage dips about 5% below its own weekday level. Staff turnover sits at 56.6%, nearly eleven points above the national figure, so the people around your family member keep changing. The current record shows 44 deficiencies, five at harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, with four fines totaling $71,235; the last inspection was July 3, 2025. Its quality measure stars look strong, but that score reflects resident health outcomes, not the staffing and safety problems sitting underneath them.
Peak Resources in Charlotte runs 142 certified beds under corporate ownership, and the staffing numbers are the first thing to notice: 3.42 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 12% under the national average, with weekends running about 7% thinner than weekdays. That shortfall shows up in the experience of care, and so does the 57.7% annual turnover, well above the national 45.8%, since a constantly changing staff makes it harder for anyone to know your family member's routines. The current inspection record carries 16 deficiencies, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, plus a $14,069 fine. Staffing and quality measures both sit at 2 stars out of 5.
Pavilion Health Center at Brightmore runs 108 certified beds in Charlotte under for-profit LLC ownership. Nurse staffing sits at 3.32 hours per resident day, roughly 14% under the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage drops about 9% below its own weekday level. Turnover is 40%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure, so the problem isn't retention so much as raw hours on the floor. The inspection record carries 31 deficiencies, including 6 at harm or jeopardy level and 4 tied to abuse, with two fines totaling $103,435. A 2-out-of-5 inspection rating and a July 2025 inspection date round out the picture.
Pelican Health At Charlotte runs 120 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers tell a hard story. Nurse staffing sits at 3.32 hours per resident per day, roughly 14% under the national average, and weekends drop another 12% below the home's own weekday levels, so care gets thinnest exactly when families tend to visit. Staff turnover is 73.2%, well above the 45.8% national figure, which means the people caring for residents are constantly changing. The inspection record backs this up: 41 deficiencies, six at harm or jeopardy level, one abuse-related, and $88,270 in fines across seven penalties. CMS has placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, a designation reserved for the poorest performers. The quality measure score looks strong on paper, but that data comes largely from the home's own reporting.
Wilora Lake runs on thinner staffing than most homes you'd compare it to, about 3.17 nurse hours per resident each day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 12% below what the home itself staffs on weekdays. That gap matters most on Saturdays and Sundays, when families often visit and when fewer hands are on the floor. Annual turnover sits at 66.2%, well above the 45.8% national figure, so the people caring for your relative are changing often. The record shows 14 deficiencies, three tied to abuse, though none rose to the level of actual harm or jeopardy. Its quality measure scores look strong, but those reflect resident outcomes, not the daily coverage behind them.
Pelican Health Randolph runs on 3.15 nursing hours per resident day, roughly 18% under the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage slips another 5% below its own weekday level. That thin staffing shows in the turnover number: 76.1% of nurses leave within a year, against a national average of 45.8%, and CMS rates staffing at 1 out of 5. The inspection record carries 47 deficiencies, including 2 at harm or jeopardy level and 3 tied to abuse, with three fines totaling $19,663 and a 2-out-of-5 health inspection rating. It's corporate-owned for profit, and its last inspection was September 17, 2025.
Shamrock Nursing Center runs on about 3.04 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly a fifth below the national average, and weekend coverage drops further. That thin staffing shows in who stays: turnover sits at 73.4% against a national 45.8%, so most of the people caring for your relative are likely new to the building. The inspection record is the harder problem, 28 deficiencies, seven involving actual harm or jeopardy, two tied to abuse, and a $144,199 fine, with the most recent inspection in August 2025. Its quality measure score looks fine on paper, but that reflects charted care, not whether enough hands are present.
Redwood Health & Rehab runs 116 beds in Charlotte under for-profit limited liability ownership, and the staffing numbers are the main thing to know. At 3.43 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 11% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly another 5% below its own weekday level. Turnover is 55.6% against a national 45.8%, so aides and nurses are cycling through faster than usual. The current inspection record shows 16 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with two fines totaling $7,742 and a survey dated May 2026. Quality and staffing measures both land at 2 out of 5 stars.
Charlotte Health & Rehabilitation Center runs 3.58 nurse staffing hours per resident per day, about 7% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 17% below its own weekday levels. Annual turnover sits at 52.5%, well above the 45.8% national figure, so the people providing care keep changing. The inspection record shows 36 deficiencies, including 8 at the harm or jeopardy level and 3 tied to abuse, with four fines totaling $132,506. The last inspection was January 28, 2026. For-profit, limited liability ownership, 90 beds. When harm-level findings, abuse citations, thin weekend coverage, and heavy turnover all show up at one address, that pattern is what families should weigh.
Rockwell Park runs leaner on nursing hours than the typical American nursing home, about 3.49 per resident day against a national figure near 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 11% below what the home staffs on weekdays. That gap matters, since families often visit Saturday and Sunday. Staff turnover sits at 60.2%, well above the 45.8% national average, so the people caring for residents change often. Its inspection record carries 34 deficiencies, including 8 at harm or jeopardy level and 4 tied to abuse, plus seven CMS fines totaling $338,513. The federal government has placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, its most recent inspection was March 27, 2026, and it's a for-profit corporation.
University Place in Charlotte runs 207 beds under corporate ownership, and the numbers suggest a building under real strain. Nurse staffing sits at 3.60 hours per resident day, about 7% under the national average, and it thins out further on weekends, running roughly 9% below its own weekday level. Staff turnover is 59.1% against a national 45.8%, meaning well over half the nursing staff leaves each year.
The inspection record is heavier than that: 35 deficiencies, two serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, one tied to abuse, and $276,401 in fines across two penalties. The most recent inspection was July 2025, so the picture is current. Families should ask directly about weekend coverage and how the home keeps experienced nurses on the floor.
