Staff turnover

Ansley Park runs a tight ship on inspections, a five-star health inspection record with just four deficiencies on file, none of them serious enough to cause harm, and no abuse findings. That's genuinely hard to do. The problem sits elsewhere. Staffing hours come in slightly under the national average, weekends run noticeably thinner than weekdays, and turnover sits at 63.2% against a national 45.8%, meaning most of the people caring for your family member this year probably won't be there next year. Quality measures land at two stars, which suggests the day-to-day outcomes aren't keeping pace with how clean the paperwork looks. Clean inspections, shaky consistency.

Pruitthealth - Creekside runs 193 certified beds in Augusta under corporate for-profit ownership, and its staffing numbers are the main thing to know going in. At 3.62 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 6% under the national average, with weekend coverage dropping roughly 18% below its own weekday levels. Annual turnover hits 60% against a national average of 45.8%, which tells you the same faces often aren't there month to month. On the plus side, its three deficiencies include nothing at the harm or jeopardy level and no abuse findings, and the last inspection was recent, May 2025. Quality measures score well; staffing is where it thins out.

Abercorn Rehabilitation Center runs a 100-bed for-profit operation in Savannah, and its staffing numbers are the main thing to know going in. Nurses provide 3.41 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, weekends drop about 12% below the home's own weekday levels, and annual turnover hits 58.2% while the national figure sits near 45.8%, that combination means care is being delivered by a stretched, constantly changing crew. The inspection record backs up the concern: 20 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one tied to abuse, plus a $10,868 fine, with the most recent inspection dated February 2026. Family members should ask specifically how the home covers weekends and what it's doing about retention.

Oaks - Athens Skilled Nursing runs 148 certified beds in Clarke County under corporate for-profit ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.67 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 5% below the national average. Weekends get thinner still, running about 15% under its own weekday levels, which matters most when families visit and needs go unnoticed. The inspection record is where the real concern lives: 14 deficiencies, four of them serious enough to put residents in harm's way, and two tied to abuse. Staff turnover at 41.9% is actually a bit better than the national 45.8%, so the instability here isn't mainly about people leaving, it's about what the building does while they're there. One fine of $15,646 is on record, and the most recent inspection was February 2026.

Pruitthealth - Shepherd Hills runs 112 certified beds in La Fayette under corporate for-profit ownership, and its staffing sits about 19 percent below the national average, at 3.14 nurse hours per resident day. Weekends drop roughly 14 percent further below its own weekday level, so coverage thins out right when families tend to visit. Turnover is the bright spot: 27 percent against a national 45.8 percent, meaning aides and nurses stick around longer than most places. The tradeoff shows up on the record, 12 deficiencies, three tied to abuse, though none reached harm or jeopardy level. Inspectors were last on site in November 2025.

Gateway Health and Rehab runs 60 beds in Cleveland under corporate ownership, and its inspection record is genuinely clean, a five-star health inspection rating, just two deficiencies on file, none involving harm or abuse, and a survey completed in April 2026. The problem sits elsewhere. Nurse staffing averages 3.00 hours per resident day, roughly 22% under the national figure of 3.86, and weekends dip about 10% below what the home already provides on weekdays. That thin coverage is what drives the one-star staffing rating and the two-star quality measure score, even as turnover at 33.3% actually beats the 45.8% national rate. Good surveys, not enough hands.

The numbers that matter most here are the inspection record and the quality measures, both sit at the lowest tier CMS assigns. Twenty-three deficiencies on the current record, two of them serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, is a lot to carry for a home this size. The staffing picture is mixed: 3.52 nurse hours per resident day lands about 9% under the national average, and weekends run roughly 10% thinner than weekdays, but turnover at 26.8% is well below the national 45.8%, which suggests the people who stay tend to stay. Ownership is for-profit, through a limited liability company. Two fines totaling $8,512 aren't large on their own, but combined with the deficiency count they point to a pattern of problems rather than isolated slips.

Briarwood runs 100 certified beds in Tucker under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing is the weak spot, 3.65 nurse hours per resident day sits about 6% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 19% below what the home itself staffs Monday through Friday. That thin weekend coverage is worth asking about directly, since it's when families often can't visit. Turnover at 42.1% is a little better than the 45.8% national figure, and the April 2025 inspection produced 11 deficiencies with none at the harm level, though one was abuse-related. The four-star inspection rating and three-star quality measures look better than the one-star staffing rating, so the gap between how the place inspects and how it's staffed is the real story.

Pruitthealth - Valdosta runs 98 certified beds as a for-profit corporate home, and its staffing numbers are the first thing to look at. Nurses provide 3.21 hours per resident per day, about 17 percent under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 19 percent below its own weekday staffing, so coverage gets thinner exactly when families tend to visit. Annual turnover sits at 49.4 percent, slightly worse than the 45.8 percent national figure, which means caregivers are frequently new to the building. The current inspection record shows 17 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, though two are abuse-related. The last inspection was June 13, 2025, so the picture is reasonably current. Quality measures score well; staffing does not.

Cartersville Center for Nursing and Healing runs 118 certified beds under individual for-profit ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.45 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 11% under the national average. Weekends drop about 15% below what the home staffs on weekdays, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover is 45.8%, right at the national average, so that's not the problem here. The bigger issue is the record: 38 deficiencies, two tied to abuse, and CMS scored inspections and quality measures both at 2 out of 5. The last inspection was December 2025, so the picture is current. Nothing here is catastrophic, no harm-level citations, but the inspection and quality numbers are the weak spots, not the nursing hours alone.

Pruitthealth - Covington runs 71 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and the staffing picture is the weak spot. At 3.19 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 17% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly another 17% below its own weekday level, so the thinnest coverage lands exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover at 40% is better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for continuity. Inspections look solid: a 4/5 health inspection rating and nine deficiencies on record, none at harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related. A recent April 2026 inspection keeps that record current. Quality measures rate 3/5. The gap between good inspection results and thin daily staffing is the real story here.

Tucker Operating Company runs 136 beds as a for-profit owned by an individual, and the nurse staffing number looks good on paper, 4.49 hours per resident day, roughly 16% above the national average. But weekends drop about 16% below its own weekday level, and annual turnover sits at 69.7% against a national 45.8%, so the people delivering that care change constantly. The inspection record shows 21 deficiencies, two tied to abuse, though none at the harm or jeopardy level, and one $30,000 fine. A 2/5 inspection rating against a 4/5 quality measure rating is the tension here: the care processes chart well, but the surveyor findings and turnover tell a rougher story.

Azalea Health Center By Harborview runs about 4.00 nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the national average of 3.86, but weekends drop roughly 10% below its own weekday levels, so the coverage families see on a Tuesday isn't what shows up on a Saturday. Annual staff turnover sits at 60.4% against a national 45.8%, meaning most of the people caring for your relative will likely be gone within the year. The current record carries 18 deficiencies, including one abuse-related citation, and the most recent inspection was in April 2026. This is a for-profit limited liability company, and the numbers suggest staffing consistency and oversight are the real questions worth asking about.

Riverdale Center for Nursing and Healing runs 152 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.48 hours per resident day, roughly 10% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 12% below the home's own weekday coverage, so if your family visits on a Saturday, expect thinner nursing presence than midweek. Staff turnover is 54% against a national 45.8%, meaning more than half the nursing staff leaves within a year. The current inspection record carries 31 deficiencies, three of them abuse-related, none at harm or jeopardy level, with $10,050 in fines. The last inspection was March 15, 2026.

Macon Rehabilitation and Healthcare runs 100 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing numbers are where your attention should go first. At 3.57 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 8% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly another 10% below its own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts are the ones when families often visit. Annual turnover of 57.5% is well above the 45.8% national figure, meaning caregivers cycle through steadily. The current inspection record shows 26 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level but four tied to abuse, plus five fines totaling $24,702. Its last inspection was August 2025.

Nurse staffing sits at 3.49 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 9% below the home's own weekday levels, so coverage is thinnest exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover is 46.4%, slightly above the national 45.8%, meaning nearly half the nursing staff leaves each year. What stands out most is the inspection record: 30 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, with a 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating. The last inspection was April 2025, so the record is current, not stale.

Pruitthealth - Carrollton runs 42 certified beds as a for-profit corporate home, and its most recent inspection on January 11, 2026 turned up 10 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, none tied to abuse. That's a relatively clean record, and the four-out-of-five inspection stars back it up. The harder question is staffing. At 3.62 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 6% under the national average, weekend coverage drops roughly 11% below its own weekday level, and annual turnover hits 61% against a national 45.8%. A two-out-of-five quality measure rating suggests the day-to-day care results don't match the tidy inspection sheet.

That's the good news, and it's real. The rest is harder. Weekend coverage drops about 14% below the home's own weekday level, and annual turnover sits at 51.4%, meaning more than half the nursing staff leaves each year. Twenty-three deficiencies sit on the current record, five of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, two tied to abuse. Three fines total $86,129. Inspectors were last in on January 23, 2026, and the health inspection rating came back 2 out of 5. Plenty of hands on paper; the record shows where that breaks down.

Heritage Inn Of Barnesville runs a 117-bed nonprofit home in Lamar County, and its inspection record is genuinely its strongest suit: the most recent visit came in April 2025, with 14 deficiencies on file and none at the harm or jeopardy level. Staffing is where the picture shifts. At 2.94 nurse hours per resident day, this home sits roughly a quarter below the national average, weekends drop about 10% further from its own weekday level, and turnover near 47% means the aides and nurses caring for residents are frequently new to the building. Four abuse-related deficiencies also appear on the current record. For families weighing a move here, the practical question is whether the caregiving hours per resident are enough on a Sunday afternoon.
