Willowbrooke Court is a small place, 16 certified beds, run by a nonprofit corporation in Columbus. The staffing is the headline: 4.63 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a fifth more than the national average of 3.86, and the weekend drop is mild at about 8 percent below its own weekday level. Its inspection record is thin in the good sense: one deficiency on the current record, none at the harm level, none abuse-related, and the last inspection came in December 2025, so it's recent. Quality measures score 4 out of 5, staffing and inspections both 5. With that few beds and that much nurse time per resident, the numbers suggest steady attention rather than a big operation spread thin.

White Oak Manor - Tryon runs 70 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its staffing numbers are genuinely better than most: 4.11 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86. The catch is who's delivering that care and how long they stay. Annual turnover sits at 62.4%, well above the 45.8% national figure, and weekend coverage dips below the home's own weekday levels. Inspections tell the harder story, 11 deficiencies on the current record, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse, plus a $16,153 fine. The most recent inspection was July 2025, so the record is current. Good hours on paper, real instability underneath.

Autumn Care of Saluda runs 99 certified beds as a for-profit corporation, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.65 hours per resident day, about 5% under the national average, with weekends roughly 9% thinner than weekdays. That staffing pattern matters more given the 69.1% annual turnover, well above the 45.8% national figure, meaning many of the people providing daily care are new to the building. The inspection record is the harder read: 18 deficiencies, 5 at harm or jeopardy level, 3 abuse-related, and one fine of $16,801. Quality measures score well, but staffing and inspection results drag the overall picture down.
