Sullivan County Health Care is county-owned and carries 156 certified beds, and the county has clearly put money into nursing staff, 5.56 hours per resident day runs about 44% above the national average, with weekends dipping only slightly below weekdays. Inspections back that up: a four-star health inspection rating and a visit as recent as December 2025. The weaker signals sit elsewhere. Ten deficiencies are on the current record, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse, plus a $16,153 fine. Annual turnover of 48.1% edges past the national 45.8%, and the two-star quality measure rating suggests resident outcomes aren't matching the staffing investment.

Woodlawn Healthcare Center in Newport runs 53 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.87 hours per resident day, essentially the national average, with weekends about 15% thinner than weekdays. Turnover is the strong spot: 39.3% against a national 45.8%, meaning fewer caregivers are walking out the door than at the typical home. The inspection record is where it gets uneven. Sixteen deficiencies are on file, none at harm or jeopardy level, but one is abuse-related, and the two-star health inspection and quality measure ratings reflect that. The last survey was February 2026, so the picture is current. Families should ask directly about that abuse citation and how weekend coverage holds up.

Elm Wood Center runs 68 beds under corporate ownership, and its staffing is the number to sit with: 3.18 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, roughly 18 percent below. Weekends dip about 11 percent below its own weekday coverage, and 51 percent of staff turned over in the past year, above the 45.8 percent national figure, so the people on the floor keep changing. The health inspection record shows 29 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, but one tied to abuse. State inspectors were last in on August 1, 2025. Quality measures score well; staffing and inspections don't.
