Our read on Smith County Health And Rehabilitation

Smith County Health and Rehabilitation runs 128 certified beds in Carthage under for-profit LLC ownership, and its inspection record is genuinely strong, a five-star health inspection rating with just six deficiencies on file, though two of those reached the harm or jeopardy level and one was abuse-related, so the record isn't spotless. Staffing is where the picture weakens. At 3.60 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 7% under the national average, weekends run roughly 10% lighter than weekdays, and annual turnover of 51.7% edges past the 45.8% national figure. The most recent inspection was September 2025. Ask about weekend coverage and how quickly aides cycle through.
