Our read on Gordon Countryside Care

Gordon Countryside Care runs on a government hospital district model, and the numbers show a facility that's been kept in decent shape. Nurse staffing sits at 4.30 hours per resident day, about 11% above the national average, and the staff actually stay, 31.3% turnover against a national rate of 45.8%. Inspectors were last in on September 23, 2025, and the 12 deficiencies on record include nothing at the harm level and nothing abuse-related. The one soft spot: weekend staffing drops roughly 16% below what the home runs during the week, so coverage on Saturdays and Sundays isn't quite what families see Monday through Friday.
