Hillcrest Convalescent Center is a for-profit, 86-bed home in Durham with an unusually clean record: zero deficiencies on file, none at the harm level, none abuse-related, and its last inspection was in February 2025. Nurse staffing sits at 5.95 hours per resident day, about 54% above the national average, and weekend coverage holds within roughly 5% of weekday levels, a gap that trips up plenty of homes. Staff turnover is 31.4%, well below the 45.8% national figure, which matters because consistent caregivers know their residents. The federal stars back this up: five for staffing and inspections, four for quality measures. For-profit corporate ownership is the one thing here that isn't a strength on paper, but the numbers outweigh it.

Croasdaile Village is a nonprofit continuing care community in Durham with 102 certified beds, and its staffing is the strongest card it holds: 5.32 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, roughly a third more hands-on time than most homes. Weekend coverage dips about 8% below its own weekday level, but that's a modest drop, and turnover at 42.7% actually runs slightly under the national rate. The caution is in the inspection record, six deficiencies, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, plus two fines totaling $25,275. The most recent inspection was August 2025, so the picture is current. Solid staffing, a recent serious finding worth asking about directly.

The Forest At Duke is a four-bed nonprofit unit in Durham, and its inspection record is close to spotless, one deficiency on the books, none of it involving harm, jeopardy, or abuse, with a survey as recent as November 2024. Where it slips is staffing, and the picture is odd: total nurse hours run about 4.15 per resident day, roughly 8% above the national average, yet weekend coverage drops about 11% below the home's own weekday level. With only four certified beds, a single callout can swing the numbers in ways they wouldn't at a larger home, so read the low staffing rating alongside the size rather than on its own.

Accordius Health at Rose Manor is a for-profit LLC home with 111 beds in Durham, and its staffing sits just barely above the national average, about 2%, which is a thin margin when weekends run roughly 9% below the home's own weekday levels. Turnover is the bigger issue: 52.2% of nursing staff leaving annually, against a national average of 45.8%, means a lot of new faces. The record shows 38 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, plus a $16,801 fine. The last inspection was May 2025, so the record is current.

Pettigrew Rehabilitation Center runs 96 certified beds in Durham under for-profit LLC ownership, and its numbers tell a mixed story. Nurse staffing sits at 3.52 hours per resident day, about 9% under the national average, and weekends dip roughly 11% below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Annual turnover of 60.7% is well above the 45.8% national figure, meaning the aides and nurses caring for residents are changing over constantly. Inspections are current as of March 2025, with 15 deficiencies on record but none tied to harm or abuse, and the quality measure score is strong even as staffing lags.

Pruitthealth-Durham runs 125 beds under for-profit, limited-liability ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.36 hours per resident day, roughly 13% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends get thinner still, about 14% below the home's own weekday level, so coverage dips right when families tend to visit. The inspection record carries 33 deficiencies, six of them serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy, two tied to abuse, plus a $34,632 fine. Turnover at 43% is slightly better than the 45.8% national figure, and the most recent inspection was April 2025. The quality measure rating holds at 3 of 5, but staffing and inspection ratings both sit at 2.

Treyburn Rehabilitation Center runs 132 beds in Durham under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing numbers are where your attention should go first. Nurse coverage sits at 3.66 hours per resident day, about 5% under the national average, and it thins out further on weekends. The bigger concern is turnover: 69.2% annually against a national rate of 45.8%, which means the people caring for residents are constantly changing. The inspection record backs that up. Twenty-six deficiencies, including three at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse. One fine totaling $124,534. The last inspection was in March 2025, and the health inspection rating sits at 2 out of 5. Strong quality measure scores don't offset what the staffing and inspection records show.

Carver Living Center is a 232-bed for-profit home in Durham, and the numbers behind its record are worth sitting with. Nurse staffing sits at 3.56 hours per resident day, roughly 8 percent under the national average, and weekends dip about 11 percent below the home's own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. The inspection history is heavier: 49 deficiencies on the current record, 8 of them at harm or jeopardy level, plus 4 tied to abuse, and $128,554 in fines across four penalties. Ownership is a limited liability company. The most recent inspection was February 2025, so the record is current, not stale. When you tour, ask how weekend coverage is actually staffed.

Pruitthealth-Carolina Point runs on thinner nurse staffing than most homes in the country, 3.23 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends get leaner still, dropping roughly 18% below what the building staffs on weekdays. Turnover sits at 57.8%, well above the 45.8% national figure, so the people who remain are stretched and the ones who leave take institutional knowledge with them. The inspection record backs that up: 18 deficiencies on file, two serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, two tied to abuse, and $52,901 in fines across two penalties. Quality measures score well, but a 1-out-of-5 staffing rating and a recent February 2026 inspection tell you where the risk actually lives.

Southpoint runs lean on nursing staff, 3.37 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends dropping about 12% below its own weekday coverage. That thin staffing shows up in the workforce numbers too: 61.6% annual turnover, well above the 45.8% national rate, meaning the people caring for residents are often new or on their way out. The inspection record is the bigger concern. Thirty-eight deficiencies sit on the current record, five serious enough to put residents in harm's way and three tied to abuse. CMS fined the corporation $48,523, and the most recent inspection was April 2025. Corporate-owned, 140 beds. The quality measure score looks fine on paper, but that's reported data, not what inspectors found.

University Health And Rehabilitation Center runs 126 beds in Durham under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing numbers are where the trouble starts. Nurses provide 3.31 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, weekends drop roughly 16% below the home's own weekday level, and annual turnover hits 62.2% when the national figure is 45.8%. Inspectors have cited 37 deficiencies, five of them at harm or jeopardy level and two abuse-related, with three fines totaling $129,754. The quality measure score looks strong, but that reflects charted clinical data, not the hands available to deliver care. A family weighing this home should ask how many aides are actually on the floor on a Saturday.
