Staff turnover
23%
Serious cites

Willowbrooke Court runs 4.24 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a tenth more than the national average, and its staff tends to stay, turnover is 23.1% against a national figure near 46%. Weekend coverage dips about 6% below weekday levels, a gap worth asking about if your family visits Saturdays and Sundays. The home carries eight deficiencies on its current record, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in September 2025. It's a 48-bed nonprofit in Gainesville, and the staffing and inspection numbers are doing the heavy lifting here.

Staff turnover

Serious cites

Magnolia Manor Of Marion County runs on 4.65 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a fifth more staffing than the typical American nursing home, and it holds onto workers better than most, 35.3% turnover against a national 45.8%. The trade-off shows up on weekends, when hours drop about 16% below the home's own weekday pace, so ask how that gap gets covered. Fourteen deficiencies sit on the current record with none at harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related, worth a direct question. Inspectors were last in on January 29, 2026, and the nonprofit owner has kept this building above average on health, quality, and staffing measures alike.

The Oaks Health Center at the Marshes of Skidaway Island runs on unusually deep staffing for a 23-bed nonprofit home, 6.26 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 62% above the national figure. Turnover sits at 31.8%, well under the 45.8% national average, and weekend coverage dips only about 6% below weekdays, so care doesn't thin out when families tend to visit. What holds it back from the top tier is its inspection record: five deficiencies, two of them serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, plus two fines totaling $8,788. Nothing abuse-related appears. The most recent inspection was March 2026.

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.

Meadows Park runs on a nonprofit model in Vidalia, and the numbers mostly hold up. Nurse staffing sits at 3.92 hours per resident day, just a hair above the national average of 3.86, but the real story is who stays: turnover is 27.6% against a national average of 45.8%, so the aides and nurses here tend to stick around. Weekend coverage does dip about 20% below weekday levels, which is worth asking about if your family visits on Saturdays or Sundays. Four deficiencies on record, none involving harm or abuse, and the last inspection was May 2025.

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.

Stevens Park is a small nonprofit home in Augusta, 42 beds, and its inspection record is clean where it counts. Three deficiencies on file, none at the harm or jeopardy level, none related to abuse, and the most recent inspection was September 2025. Staff turnover sits at 43.9%, slightly better than the national 45.8%, and the staffing star rating is 5/5. The catch is the raw hours: 3.81 per resident day, just under the national 3.86, with weekends running about 8% lighter than weekdays. For a family weighing this one, the short version is that oversight looks solid and retention is decent, but the day-to-day direct care margin is thin, especially on Saturdays and Sundays.

Vista Park runs on 4.14 nurse hours per resident per day, about 7% above the national average, and its staff turnover of 31.1% sits well below the 45.8% national figure, so people tend to stay. Weekends thin out roughly 13% against its own weekday coverage, which is worth asking about. Five deficiencies on record, none causing harm or tied to abuse, and a September 2025 inspection is recent. The nonprofit ownership and 5/5 health inspection rating round out a picture of a home that's been kept in decent order.

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.

Oak View Home runs lean on direct nursing time, 3.32 hours per resident day sits about 14% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip roughly 13% below its own weekday coverage, so a Saturday shift may feel thinner than a Tuesday one. What offsets that is stability: turnover of 26.2% is well under the national 45.8%, meaning the aides and nurses around your family member are more likely to still be there next year. The current record shows 8 deficiencies with none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, and the last inspection was recent, in September 2025.

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.

Magnolia Manor of Columbus East, a nonprofit home with 210 beds, puts more caregivers on the floor than most places, 4.04 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86. Staff turnover is 33.7%, noticeably lower than the 45.8% national figure, which suggests people stick around. The trouble sits in its inspection record: 21 deficiencies, including five tied to abuse and two serious enough to risk harm or jeopardy, with $8,788 in fines. Weekends run about 14% leaner than weekdays. Quality measures score well, but a recent November 2025 inspection and that abuse count are the things I'd ask about directly before deciding.

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.

Heritage Inn of Sandersville is a 60-bed nonprofit home that just went through a March 2025 inspection with a clean slate, zero deficiencies on its current record, including nothing at the harm level and nothing abuse-related. That's rare, and it's the main reason this one grades well. Staffing sits at 3.71 nurse hours per resident day, a bit under the national average, and weekends run leaner than weekdays by about 13%, so ask how that plays out on a Saturday. The standout number is turnover: 22.2% against a national average near 46%, which suggests people actually stay. Stable staff plus a clean inspection record usually means care holds up between visits.

Sparta Health and Rehabilitation runs 81 certified beds as a nonprofit, and its inspection record is the strongest part of the story: a five-star health inspection rating with only three deficiencies on file, none of them causing harm or involving abuse, and a survey completed just this April. Nurse staffing sits at 3.62 hours per resident day, roughly 6% under the national average, and weekends drop about 11% below the home's own weekday coverage, worth asking about if your family visits mainly on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover is 36.4%, better than the 45.8% national figure, which suggests workers tend to stay.

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.
