Our read on Tybee Island Trails Of Journey Llc

Tybee Island Trails of Journey runs 50 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 1.74 hours per resident day, roughly 55% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop about 30% below its own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts are also the least supervised. Staff turnover is 69.2% against a national 45.8%, meaning most of the people caring for residents are relatively new to the building. The inspection record shows 25 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, with the most recent inspection dated January 30, 2026. CMS rates staffing 1 out of 5 stars, health inspections and quality measures each 2 out of 5. If you're considering this home, ask directly how weekend coverage is staffed and how abuse allegations get reported and resolved.
