Harmony Health and Rehabilitation runs 167 beds in Fitzgerald under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing numbers tell a familiar story: 3.49 nurse hours per resident day, about 10% under the national average, with weekends dipping another 10% below its own weekday levels. Turnover sits at 53.9% against a national 45.8%, meaning more than half the nursing staff leaves each year. The inspection record shows 22 deficiencies, two serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, though none abuse-related, and one fine of $4,017. Its most recent inspection was March 2026, so the picture is current rather than stale.

Comfort Creek runs on thin nursing coverage, 2.84 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends get even leaner, dropping about 6% below its own weekday level. That matters most when something goes wrong between Friday and Monday. Its inspection record is the real concern: 25 deficiencies currently on file, two of them serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy, plus one abuse-related finding and a $15,880 fine. The last full inspection was April 30, 2026, so this is a recent picture, not an old one. Staff turnover at 32.3% actually beats the national 45.8%, and quality measures land at 3 stars. Ownership is a for-profit limited liability company.

Pruitthealth - Old Capitol runs 143 certified beds in Louisville under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers tell a mixed story. Nurse staffing sits at 3.12 hours per resident day, roughly 19% under the national average, and weekends run about 7% thinner than weekdays, exactly when families tend to visit and notice. Turnover is 32.4%, better than the 45.8% national figure, so the staff who are there tend to stay. The trouble is compliance: 13 deficiencies on the current record, three at harm or jeopardy level, one tied to abuse, plus four fines totaling $28,179. The most recent inspection closed in November 2025. Quality measures score well; the inspection history is what drags this home down.

Brentwood Health Center By Harborview runs 103 certified beds in Waynesboro under corporate for-profit ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.91 nurse hours per resident day, barely a percentage point above the national average, with weekend coverage dipping slightly below its own weekday level. That thin margin matters, because the inspection record shows 11 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, and the most recent state visit was in mid-2025. The staffing and health inspection ratings both land at two out of five stars, while quality measures score three. Nothing here reads as dangerous, but the numbers describe a home doing the minimum rather than one with room to absorb a bad week.

0

Autumn Lane runs about 3.50 nursing hours per resident per day, roughly 9% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 17% below what the home staffs on weekdays. That gap matters most on Saturdays and Sundays, when families tend to visit and notice. Turnover sits at 45.9%, essentially identical to the national figure, so retention isn't the problem here, day-to-day coverage is. The inspection record is the stronger part: a 4-out-of-5 health inspection rating, last surveyed in May 2025, with 12 deficiencies on file but none at the harm level and none abuse-related. As a nonprofit, it isn't managing to a quarterly earnings target, which may explain the clean inspection history alongside the thin weekend staffing.

Pruitthealth - Holly Hill runs 100 beds in Valdosta under for-profit LLC ownership, and the inspection record is the main thing to know going in: 23 deficiencies on the current record, two of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and $19,145 in CMS fines across two events. The health inspection rating sits at 1 out of 5, and the last inspection was February 27, 2026, so the record is recent. Nurse staffing averages 3.29 hours per resident day, roughly 15% under the national average, and weekends run about 18% below the home's own weekday level, gaps tend to show up when families visit. Turnover at 30.6% is actually better than the 45.8% national figure, which means the staff who are there tend to stay.

Pruitthealth - Sunrise runs 60 certified beds in Moultrie under for-profit LLC ownership, and its recent inspection history is a genuine strength, 12 deficiencies on record, none at the harm or jeopardy level, and a survey completed in June 2025. The staffing picture is where the concern sits: 3.33 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 14% below the national average of 3.86, with weekends about 15% thinner than weekdays. Annual turnover of 47.8% edges just past the national figure of 45.8%, meaning the people who are there are stretched and the roster keeps shifting. Strong survey results don't erase thin daily coverage, especially on weekends.

Green Acres runs about 3.53 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 9% under the national average, and weekends drop another 17% below its own weekday staffing. That gap matters more than the average, because most families visit on weekends. Annual turnover sits at 65.5% against a national 45.8%, so the aides and nurses on the floor change often, that's hard on residents who need consistent hands. The current inspection record shows 13 deficiencies, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and no abuse findings. The last inspection was April 2026, so the picture is recent, not stale. It's a for-profit, individually owned home. Staffing hours look decent on paper, but the churn and weekend dip tell the fuller story.

Fairburn Heights runs on 2.94 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter below the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage drops another 10% below what it manages on weekdays. You can see that thinness in its staffing rating, which sits at the bottom of CMS's scale, and in a turnover rate of 48.7%, higher than the 45.8% national figure. The inspection record shows 30 deficiencies, including one tied to abuse and one at the harm level, though the most recent inspection was in February 2026. Quality measures score well, but that number reflects resident outcomes on paper, not how many hands are available when someone needs help.

Pruitthealth - Washington runs 47 certified beds in Wilkes County under corporate for-profit ownership. The staffing numbers are the real story here: 2.87 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 26% below the national average, with weekend coverage dropping another 15% below its own weekday level. That gap matters most on Saturdays and Sundays, when families tend to visit and when residents need the most hands-on help. Turnover sits at 44.4%, essentially in line with the national rate, so retention isn't the problem, raw hours are. The inspection record is genuinely solid: four stars, five deficiencies, none involving harm or abuse, and the last survey was recent. Quality measures land mid-range at three stars.

Winder Center for Nursing and Healing runs on thinner staffing than most homes its size. At 3.40 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 12% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 14% below what it manages on weekdays, so the coverage gap is worst exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover runs 51.2% against a national 45.8%, which means the aides and nurses cycling through are often new to the building. The inspection record is the harder problem: 17 deficiencies, two of them at harm or jeopardy level, a 1-star health inspection rating, and $17,074 in fines. The most recent inspection was January 22, 2026. A 1-star staffing rating alongside that inspection history is what pulls the overall picture down, despite middling quality measures.

Waycross Health and Rehabilitation runs on thinner staffing than most homes, 3.49 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends dipping about 12% below its own weekday levels. Turnover sits at 47.8%, a bit above the national 45.8%. The inspection record is genuinely strong: a 5/5 health inspection rating with the most recent survey in May 2026, and only 7 deficiencies, none tied to abuse, though one rose to the harm level. Quality measures are where it slips, at 2/5. A non-profit with clean surveys but modest bedside hours and weak clinical measures is worth a visit, ask about weekend coverage specifically.

Pruitthealth - Augusta Hills runs a 126-bed for-profit home in Augusta, and the numbers split in two directions. The care side looks reasonably steady: nine deficiencies on the current record with none at the harm or jeopardy level and none tied to abuse, plus a recent inspection and solid marks on health inspections and quality measures. Staffing is where the trouble sits. At 3.30 nurse hours per resident day, this home runs about 15 percent under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 27 percent below its own weekday level, that's the stretch when families often can't visit and problems go unnoticed. Turnover at 39.1 percent is better than the 45.8 percent national figure, so the staff who are there tend to stay. The question is whether there are enough of them.

The Rehabilitation Center of South Georgia runs 178 certified beds in Tifton under corporate for-profit ownership, and its staffing sits slightly under the national average at 3.76 nurse hours per resident day. Weekends drop roughly 14% below the home's own weekday coverage, and annual turnover of 51.9% runs above the 45.8% national figure, both worth asking about directly. The current record shows 30 deficiencies, four tied to abuse, though none rose to the harm or jeopardy level, and the most recent inspection came in December 2025. Its quality measure rating sits at 1 out of 5, the weakest of its three CMS scores.

Reliable Health & Rehab At Lakewood runs on 3.07 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly a fifth below the national average, and weekends drop about 14% below what the building staffs on weekdays. Turnover sits at 39.2%, which is actually better than the 45.8% national figure, so the issue here isn't constant churn, it's raw coverage. The current record shows 17 deficiencies, two tied to abuse, though none reached harm or jeopardy level, and the last inspection was April 30, 2026. With 100 beds under corporate for-profit ownership, the staffing numbers are the ones worth pressing on when you tour.

Chelsey Park runs a clean building, four deficiencies on its current record, none causing harm, and a five-star inspection history as recent as April 2026. That part's real, and it matters. What pulls the grade down is the day-to-day coverage. At 3.40 nurse hours per resident, staffing sits about 12% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 7% below the home's own weekday level, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. Turnover of 53.8% means more than half the nursing staff leaves each year, well above the national 45.8%. A nonprofit operator with a strong survey record is a good sign; the question is whether enough consistent hands are there between inspections.

Magnolia Manor of Columbus West runs 166 certified beds under nonprofit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.30 hours per resident day, about 11% above the national average. That's a real strength, but weekends dip roughly 17% below the home's own weekday coverage, so the care you'd see on a Saturday may be thinner than the weekday numbers suggest. Staff turnover is 56.9%, well above the 45.8% national average, which matters for whether your family member sees the same faces. The inspection record carries four deficiencies, all at harm or jeopardy level, three tied to abuse, plus a $34,431 fine. The most recent inspection was December 2025.

At 3.26 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 16% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly another 17% below its own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts are the ones families tend to visit. Turnover lands at 41.3%, which is actually better than the 45.8% national figure, and inspections look decent: a 4/5 health inspection rating, 8 deficiencies on record with none at harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related. A single $4,963 fine and a March 2026 inspection round out the picture.

Winthrop Health And Rehabilitation runs 80 certified beds as a nonprofit, and its inspection record is the strongest part of the picture, a clean four-star health inspection rating and a survey completed in September 2025. The staffing side is where questions start. At 3.38 nurse hours per resident day, it sits roughly 12 percent under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 16 percent below its own weekday levels. Annual turnover of 55.3 percent runs well above the 45.8 percent national figure. Then there's the current deficiency record: 18 total, including 6 at the harm or jeopardy level and 6 tied to abuse.

Pruitthealth - Ocilla runs 83 beds in Irwin County under corporate ownership, and its staffing sits right at the national average, 3.87 nurse hours per resident day against 3.86 nationally. That average is doing some work, though, because weekends drop about 19% below weekday coverage, so the care you'd see on a Saturday looks different from a Tuesday. Turnover is the bright spot: 29.1% against a 45.8% national rate, meaning aides and nurses here stick around longer than most. Inspections are recent and clean on the serious stuff, 9 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, no abuse findings, and a 4-star health inspection. So why the middling grade? Quality measures score 1 out of 5, and staffing only 2.
