Our read on Starr Regional Health & Rehabilitation
Starr Regional in Etowah runs 3.98 nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the national average of 3.86. That edge shrinks on weekends, though, when staffing drops roughly 18% below its own weekday level, worth asking about if you're planning visits or admissions around Saturdays and Sundays. The inspection record is clean where it counts: 11 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related, and two fines totaling $8,697. The most recent inspection was in January 2026, so the picture is current. Quality measures score well; staffing sits in the middle. Owned by a for-profit corporation.
