Our read on Anderson County Hospital Ltcu

Anderson County Hospital Ltcu runs 3.94 nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the national average of 3.86, and its staffing rating reflects that. The catch is weekends, when hours drop roughly 18% below the home's own weekday level, that's when gaps tend to show up. Turnover sits at 44.7%, slightly better than the national 45.8%, so the crew is comparatively stable. Inspections in February 2025 turned up 16 deficiencies, two serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, though none were abuse-related. For a 36-bed nonprofit hospital-based unit, the day-to-day numbers look reasonable; the weekend dip and those two harm-level findings are what pull the overall picture down.
