Our read on Camellia Health & Rehabilitation

Camellia Health & Rehabilitation runs 70 certified beds in Claxton under nonprofit ownership, and its staffing sits below what most homes across the country provide, about 3.58 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86. The gap widens on weekends, when coverage drops roughly 12 percent below the home's own weekday level. Turnover is 46.2 percent, essentially matching the national rate of 45.8 percent, so retention here isn't the outlier. On inspections, the record shows nine deficiencies, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and none tied to abuse. The most recent state visit came in April 2025, so the picture is current. Quality measures score lower than staffing does.
