All 3 Medicare-certified nursing homes in Goldsboro,
side by side on the things that separate them: how many nursing hours each resident gets, how much of the
staff leaves each year, and what inspectors found on their last visit.
Willow Creek runs 200 certified beds in Goldsboro under for-profit limited liability ownership, and the numbers split in two directions. The clinical quality measures look strong at four stars, but nurse staffing sits at 3.58 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 7% below the home's own weekday coverage. Staff turnover is 59.2%, well above the 45.8% national figure, which matters because caregivers who leave take familiarity with residents with them. The inspection record shows 19 deficiencies, including two at harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, plus $15,358 in fines across three penalties. The most recent inspection was March 2026.
Goldsboro Rehabilitation runs 130 beds as a for-profit corporation, and its staffing sits at 3.36 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 13 percent under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 7 percent below the home's own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. Turnover is 36.1 percent, which actually beats the 45.8 percent national figure, so this isn't a churning building. The inspection record shows 9 deficiencies, including 1 at the harm or jeopardy level, with $16,153 in fines and a survey completed in December 2025, so the picture is current. Quality measures score 2 out of 5, the weakest of its three CMS ratings.
O'Berry Neuro-Medical Treatment Center is a state-run home in Goldsboro with 144 certified beds, and its inspection record is the part that matters most. Twenty-eight deficiencies are on the current record, eight of them at the harm or jeopardy level, and six tied to abuse. CMS has placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, which is reserved for homes with a persistent pattern of serious problems, and a $167,242 fine is on file. The last inspection was recent, October 9, 2025, so this isn't a stale record. Quality measures sit around the middle at 3 out of 5. If you're considering this home, ask directly what's changed since that inspection.
