  • $88,205 in federal fines

  • Nursing staff turnover of 64%

Our read on Etowah Landing

Etowah Landing runs 100 beds in Rome under individual for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.62 hours per resident day, roughly 6% under the national average of 3.86. The bigger issue is consistency: weekends drop about 11% below the home's own weekday levels, and annual turnover hits 64.3% against a national average of 45.8%, so the people covering those shifts are often new. Inspectors logged 16 deficiencies on the current record, four of them at the harm or jeopardy level, with one fine totaling $88,205. The most recent inspection was April 2026. Nothing on the record involves abuse, but four harm-level findings plus thin weekend coverage is the pattern worth asking about directly when you tour.
