Dekalb County Rehab & Nursing runs on county government ownership, and the staffing numbers show it: 4.77 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter above the national average, with a five-star staffing rating to match. Turnover sits at 38.6%, better than the 45.8% national figure, though weekend coverage drops about 12% below the home's own weekday level. The current inspection record carries 22 deficiencies, three of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, along with two fines totaling $140,423. That's the tension here, strong day-to-day staffing paired with a citation record that keeps the health inspection rating at three stars. The most recent survey was April 3, 2025.

Oak Crest is a small nonprofit home in DeKalb, just 17 certified beds, which is unusual in a county full of larger operations. Its last full inspection came in September 2024 and turned up seven deficiencies, none of which rose to the level of harm or jeopardy, and there's no abuse history on the record. Quality measures and health inspection results both sit at four out of five stars, putting it a notch above the middle of the pack on the federal measures. For a family weighing a move, the picture here is a modest-sized home with a clean harm record and recent state scrutiny, rather than one with documented serious problems or a spotless file.

Aperion Care Dekalb runs on 3.35 nurse hours per resident day, about 13 percent under the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage slips roughly another 10 percent below what it manages on weekdays. Staff turnover is the number that would worry me most: 65.9 percent a year, against a national average near 45.8, so most of the people caring for your relative will likely be gone within twelve months. Behind the 3/5 health inspection rating sit 44 deficiencies, five at harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, plus $43,769 in fines across three penalties. Corporate-owned and for-profit, last inspected July 2024.

Bethany Rehab & Hcc runs 90 certified beds in DeKalb, and the numbers behind its recent inspections are worth knowing before you visit. Nurse staffing sits at 3.64 hours per resident day, below the national average, and it thins out further on weekends, dropping about 12% from its own weekday level. Staff turnover is the harder figure, 72.2% annually, well above the national rate, which means the people caring for residents change often.

Ask direct questions about consistent weekend coverage and how the home has responded to those findings.
