Staff turnover
58%
Serious cites
0

Nhc Healthcare Rossville runs on 3.10 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly a fifth below the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip another 13% below what the home staffs on weekdays. That thin coverage sits behind a 57.5% annual turnover rate, well above the 45.8% national figure, meaning aides and nurses are cycling out faster than most places. The inspection record is where the real trouble shows: 15 deficiencies on file, five serious enough to endanger residents, four tied to abuse, and a $57,077 fine. Its quality-measure scores look strong, but those reflect charted care, not the hands available to deliver it.
