Our read on Wake Robin-Linden Nursing Home

Wake Robin-Linden runs 33 beds as a nonprofit, and its inspection record is genuinely clean, a five-star health inspection rating, just two deficiencies on the books, none of them causing harm or involving abuse, and a survey completed in January 2026. The staffing side tells a different story. CMS gives it one star there, and annual turnover sits at 58.5 percent against a national average of 45.8 percent, meaning well over half the staff left within the year. Quality measures land at four stars. So you're looking at a small home that passes outside review comfortably but may struggle to keep consistent caregivers at the bedside, worth asking directly how they hold shifts together.

Written from the CMS figures for this home shown further down this page. Nothing here is paid for or supplied by the home.
