All 3 Medicare-certified nursing homes in Huntersville,
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.
Huntersville Oaks runs on 1.69 nurse staffing hours per resident day, roughly 56 percent below the national average of 3.86, and that gap is the main thing dragging its record down. Weekend coverage holds steady against weekdays, so the shortage is consistent rather than a weekend problem. Turnover sits at 41.6 percent, a bit better than the 45.8 percent national figure, and inspections and quality measures both rate well. Still, seven deficiencies are on record, including one at the harm level and one tied to abuse, with a $9,937 fine and a May 2026 inspection. A nonprofit with 168 beds and thin staffing carries real risk despite the strong survey scores.
Lakeside Health & Rehab Center runs 114 certified beds in Huntersville under federal government ownership, and the numbers split in two directions. The clinical quality measures look strong, but staffing sits at 3.44 hours per resident per day against a national average of 3.86, roughly 11% below, and weekends drop about 14% below the home's own weekday level. Staff turnover is the sharper concern: 77.2% annually, well above the 45.8% national figure, which means aides and nurses are cycling through constantly. Fifteen deficiencies sit on the current record, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, though none are abuse-related. The last inspection came in December 2025. Good outcomes depend on consistent hands, and this home struggles to keep them.
Huntersville Health & Rehabilitation runs 90 beds under corporate ownership, and its staffing sits right at the national mark, 3.91 nurse hours per resident day against 3.86 nationally, a difference of about one percent. That thin margin matters more when you look at weekends, which run roughly 11% below the home's own weekday coverage, and at turnover: half the nursing staff leaves each year, compared with 45.8% nationally.
The inspection record is where the real weight sits. Fourteen deficiencies are on file, three of them at harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse. The last inspection came in June 2026, and the health inspection rating lands at 2 out of 5. Strong quality scores don't offset that pattern.
