Staff turnover

0

Pruitthealth - Monroe runs on leaner nurse staffing than most homes, 3.36 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends get thinner still, dropping about 14% below the home's own weekday coverage. What stands out is retention: 30.6% turnover is well under the 45.8% national figure, which suggests a steadier crew than the staffing hours alone imply. The inspection record is recent and clean at the serious end: 13 deficiencies on file, none involving harm or abuse, with the last survey in September 2025. Where the numbers lag is resident outcomes, where CMS rates quality measures 2 out of 5 despite the 4-star inspection history.

Friendship Health And Rehab runs 89 certified beds in Cleveland as a for-profit corporation, and its inspection record is the strongest thing it has going: a five-star health inspection rating with just four deficiencies on file, none rising to harm or jeopardy and nothing abuse-related. Staffing is more mixed. At 3.55 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 8 percent under the national average of 3.86, and weekends run roughly 11 percent thinner than weekdays, worth asking how that plays out on a Sunday. Turnover is the bright spot at 32.1 percent against a national 45.8. The two-star quality measure rating is the piece that doesn't match the inspection story.

Pruitthealth - Ashburn runs 76 beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its inspection record is genuinely clean, six deficiencies on the current record, none at the harm level, none related to abuse, with a survey completed in September 2025. The state surveyors gave it a 4 out of 5 on health inspections and a 5 on quality measures. Where it slips is staffing: 3.20 nurse hours per resident day sits about 17% under the national average of 3.86, weekends dip roughly 15% below its own weekday coverage, and turnover hits 50% against a 45.8% national rate. Solid care when people are watching, thinner coverage when they're not.

High Shoals Health and Rehabilitation runs on thinner nurse coverage than most homes, 2.98 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 8% below its own weekday levels, so your visit timing matters. Turnover sits at 36.2%, better than the 45.8% national figure, which suggests a relatively stable crew despite the lean hours. The inspection record is recent (March 2025) and shows 10 deficiencies with nothing at the harm level, though two are abuse-related and worth asking about directly. As a nonprofit with 4-star inspection and quality ratings, the care fundamentals look solid; the staffing number is the main thing to press on.

Harrington Park runs 3.57 nurse hours per resident day, about 7% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 15% below its own weekday staffing. That gap shows up in the staffing star rating, which sits at 2 out of 5, and in a turnover rate of 68.8% against a national 45.8%, most of the people caring for residents here are new or on their way out. The inspection record is cleaner: 8 deficiencies, none at the harm level, none abuse-related, with a recent survey in March 2026. Quality measures score well. As a nonprofit, it isn't answering to shareholders, but consistent hands matter more than tax status at this size.

Pruitthealth - Peake runs 122 beds in Macon under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing numbers are the main thing to know. At 3.27 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 15% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly another 15% below its own weekday levels, so coverage is thinnest exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover is a genuine bright spot at 33%, well under the 45.8% national figure, which suggests a steadier crew than many peers. The inspection record shows 7 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, though none abuse-related; the last survey was in May 2026. Quality measures score well, but staffing is where the concern lives.

The inspection record here is actually pretty solid, a 4-star health inspection rating, most recent survey in September 2025, and no abuse deficiencies on file. Where it gets thin is the day-to-day staffing. At 3.31 nurse hours per resident, this home runs about 14% below the national average, and weekends dip roughly 17% below its own weekday levels, which is when families tend to notice. Staff turnover sits at 58.2% against a national 45.8%, so the people providing that care are cycling through faster than average. Twelve deficiencies, two of them serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, plus $16,530 in fines, round out the picture: safe enough on paper, but you'd want to ask about weekend coverage and how long aides tend to stay.

Fifth Avenue Health Care runs lean on nursing hours, about 3.22 per resident day against a national average near 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 9% below its own weekday coverage. That matters most on Saturdays and Sundays, when families often visit and fewer hands are on the floor. Turnover sits at 34.6%, better than the 45.8% national figure, so the staff who are there tend to stay. The current record shows 15 deficiencies, two serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and $8,512 in fines; the last inspection was in August 2025. All three CMS star ratings, health inspections, quality measures, and staffing, land at 2 out of 5.

Pruitthealth - Savannah runs 140 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and the numbers show a home doing the basics without much cushion. Nurse staffing sits at 3.71 hours per resident day, about 4% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 13% below its own weekday coverage, so the stretches when families visit most are also when hands are thinnest. Annual turnover of 52.5% tops the national 45.8%, meaning roughly half the nursing staff turns over each year. Thirty deficiencies appear on the current record, three tied to abuse, though none rose to harm or jeopardy level, and one fine totaling $4,963 has been levied. The last inspection was June 20, 2025.

The Woods at Lumber City runs 86 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing tells the clearest story here: 3.23 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends dipping about 7% below its own weekday levels. That shortfall is why CMS gives it a single star for staffing, and it lines up with a 50% annual turnover rate, higher than the 45.8% national figure. The inspection record shows 9 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, though the most recent inspection was in August 2025, so it's fairly current. Quality measures land mid-range at 3 stars. Families should ask specifically about weekend coverage and how quickly call lights get answered.

Pruitthealth - Fitzgerald runs 78 certified beds under for-profit, limited-liability ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.32 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 14% under the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage drops about 11% below what the home provides on weekdays, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. Annual turnover of 44.6% is essentially the national rate, meaning the workforce churns about as fast as the typical home's. The current inspection record shows seven deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection dated January 2026.

Oxley Park runs 3.71 nursing hours per resident per day, a bit under the national average of 3.86, and the gap widens on weekends, weekend staffing drops roughly 21% below what the home staffs on weekdays. Annual turnover sits at 57%, well above the 45.8% national figure, so the people around your family member change often. The inspection record is cleaner than those numbers might suggest: eight deficiencies total, none at the harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in March 2026. As a nonprofit, it answers to a mission rather than shareholders, which often matters in how staffing money gets spent.

Pruitthealth - Eastside runs on thin nursing coverage: 3.13 hours per resident per day, roughly 19% under the national average, with weekends about 20% below its own weekday pace. That staffing level is the weak spot behind its federal ratings, one star for staffing against four for health inspections and five for quality measures. Turnover sits at 46.8%, close to the national 45.8%, so the issue isn't churn so much as how few hands are scheduled each shift. The inspection record is clean where it matters most: 19 deficiencies total, but none tied to harm or abuse, and the most recent survey came in January 2026. As a for-profit corporate home with 90 beds, it's recently inspected and clinically steady, just lightly staffed, especially on weekends.

Pruitthealth - Athens Heritage runs 104 certified beds in Clarke County under individual for-profit ownership, and the staffing numbers are the part worth your attention. At 3.43 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 11% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 19% below its own weekday level, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Annual turnover hits 50%, above the 45.8% national figure. The inspection record shows 30 deficiencies, including one at harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, with $16,801 in fines across three penalties. Quality measures score well; staffing is where the gap shows.

Pruitthealth - West Atlanta runs 120 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and the staffing numbers are the first thing to notice: 3.35 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 13 percent under the national average, with weekends dropping about 19 percent below its own weekday levels. That thin weekend coverage matters because the inspection record is heavy, 42 deficiencies on file, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and five tied to abuse. Turnover sits at 43.7 percent, slightly better than the national 45.8 percent, so the problem isn't retention so much as how few hands are scheduled. The 4/5 quality measure score looks strong, but the 1/5 inspection rating from a September 2025 visit is the number families should weigh hardest.

Pruitthealth - Decatur runs 146 certified beds under for-profit limited liability ownership, and its nursing hours sit at 3.35 per resident day, roughly 13% under the national average of 3.86. That gap widens on weekends, when staffing drops about 21% below the home's own weekday level. Turnover of 38.9% is actually better than the 45.8% national figure, so retention isn't the main worry here; raw coverage is. The inspection record shows 24 deficiencies, none flagged at harm or jeopardy level, but one abuse-related citation appears. Health inspection and staffing each earned 2 of 5 stars from CMS, while quality measures scored 4. The last inspection was March 2026, so the record is current.

Nhc Healthcare Rossville runs on 3.10 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly a fifth below the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip another 13% below what the home staffs on weekdays. That thin coverage sits behind a 57.5% annual turnover rate, well above the 45.8% national figure, meaning aides and nurses are cycling out faster than most places. The inspection record is where the real trouble shows: 15 deficiencies on file, five serious enough to endanger residents, four tied to abuse, and a $57,077 fine. Its quality-measure scores look strong, but those reflect charted care, not the hands available to deliver it.

Delmar Gardens Of Gwinnett runs 67 certified beds under corporate ownership, and its staffing score sits at the bottom of CMS's five-star scale, one star, which is the number worth asking about when you tour. The 16 deficiencies on file include one abuse-related citation, though none reached harm or jeopardy level, and state inspectors were last in the building in August 2025. Staff turnover lands at 44.9%, essentially matching the national rate of 45.8%, so retention here isn't the problem staffing hours appear to be. Quality measures come in at two stars, inspection history at three.

Heritage Inn runs lean on nursing hours, 2.95 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, roughly a quarter below what's typical. That gap matters most on weekends, when coverage drops another 9% below the home's own weekday level. Turnover sits at 40.8%, a bit better than the national 45.8%, so the staff who are there tend to stay. The inspection record is the strong point: 8 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, no abuse findings, and the most recent survey was in June 2025. Quality measure scores come in at 2 out of 5 stars, which is worth asking about directly.

Cherry Blossom Health and Rehabilitation runs 82 certified beds in Macon under nonprofit ownership. Its last inspection was in March 2026 and turned up 21 deficiencies, four of them abuse-related, though none rose to actual harm or jeopardy. Nurse staffing sits at 3.63 hours per resident day, roughly 6% under the national average, and weekends drop about 10% below the home's own weekday coverage. Annual turnover hits 60.9% against a national 45.8%, nearly a third higher. Inspections came back mid-range while quality measures scored well above it; staffing is the weak spot. High turnover and thin weekend coverage are the numbers worth asking about directly.
