Our read on Rockwood South Hill

Rockwood South Hill runs about 4.83 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter more than the national average of 3.86, that's the strongest part of its record. Weekend staffing dips about 12% below its own weekday level, so ask how that plays out on Sundays. The inspection history is more mixed: 49 deficiencies on the current record, none of them at the harm or jeopardy level, though two are abuse-related. The last inspection was December 2024, so the picture is fairly current. As a church-related nonprofit with 45 beds, it's small and mission-driven, but 49 deficiencies is a lot of paperwork for a building this size.
