Nursing homes across Glynn County, Georgia, graded on the federal inspection
record, nurse staffing and staff turnover. County rank is shown on each home's profile.
Marsh's Edge runs a small 20-bed operation, and its nurse staffing sits at 10.54 hours per resident day, roughly triple the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage drops about 12% below its own weekday level, so families should ask who's actually on the floor on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover is 55.2%, nearly ten points above the national 45.8%, which means the people caring for residents change often. On the regulatory side, the record is clean where it counts: two total deficiencies, none involving harm or abuse, and the last inspection was May 2025. The for-profit LLC ownership and strong inspection history round out a picture of a well-staffed home with a retention problem.
Heritage Oaks runs about 3.45 nursing hours per resident per day, roughly 11% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 16% below its own weekday coverage, so the quiet shifts are the thin ones. Turnover sits at 41.4%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure. Its last inspection was in April 2025, and the record shows 11 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related. Nonprofit ownership under Glynn County's belt is a steadying factor. The staffing star rating reflects solid weekday coverage, but the weekend gap and below-average daily hours are worth asking about directly.
Gracemore runs about 3.50 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 9% under the national average, and weekends drop another 12% below its own weekday staffing. Annual turnover sits at 51.1%, higher than the 45.8% national figure, though the home's last inspection came back clean at the harm level, nine deficiencies on record, one tied to abuse, none causing jeopardy. Inspectors visited most recently in April 2026, and the health inspection rating reflects that. The company is a for-profit LLC with 60 certified beds. Families weighing this one should ask how the weekend coverage gap and turnover actually play out on the floor.
Sears Manor runs on thinner nurse staffing than most homes, 3.37 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop another 13% below its own weekday level, which is when families tend to visit and notice. The bigger number is turnover: 65.2% of staff left over the past year, well above the 45.8% national figure, and that churn shows up in the inspection record too. Twenty deficiencies are on file, three of them abuse-related, with the most recent state visit in May 2025. This is a for-profit LLC operating 100 beds in Brunswick, and the pattern reads as a home where care depends heavily on who happens to be on shift.
The nurse staffing numbers at this 200-bed Brunswick home are where I'd start: 3.04 hours per resident per day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends run about 9% thinner than weekdays, which is when families tend to visit and notice. Annual turnover of 66.4% sits well above the 45.8% national figure, so the people providing care change often. Inspectors have cited 38 deficiencies, six of them at the level where harm or jeopardy to a resident occurred and three tied to abuse, with two fines totaling $16,801 on record. The most recent inspection was July 29, 2025. The quality measure score of 4 out of 5 looks strong on paper, but the staffing and inspection results point a different direction, and that gap is worth asking about directly.
