The Stewart Health Center runs 5.50 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 42% above the national average, and its staff turnover of 33.3% sits well below the 45.8% national figure. That's real consistency on the floor, though weekend coverage dips about 7% from weekday levels. Where the numbers get harder to explain is the inspection record: 14 deficiencies, two of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and two fines totaling $57,971. A 2-out-of-5 inspection rating against a 4-out-of-5 staffing rating is an unusual split, the people are there, but the last survey in May 2025 still found problems worth citing.

Nc State Veterans Home-Kinston runs a genuine staffing advantage: 5.04 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 30% above the national average, with weekend coverage dipping about 16% below its own weekday level. Turnover sits at 37.9%, better than the 45.8% national figure, and the state runs the place. But the inspection record is the problem. Ten deficiencies are on file, seven at harm or jeopardy level, three tied to abuse, and five fines total $74,987. The most recent inspection was November 14, 2025. Strong staffing and better-than-average retention don't erase a citation history that serious, and families should ask directly what changed since that visit.

Trinity Glen runs 117 certified beds as a nonprofit corporation, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.16 hours per resident day, roughly 8% above the national average of 3.86. That's a real cushion, though weekends dip about 14% below the home's own weekday level, so coverage isn't perfectly even across the week. Turnover lands at 45.1%, essentially matching the national 45.8%, which means this home isn't losing staff any faster than the typical facility. Its inspection record is clean where it counts: two deficiencies total, none at harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related, with a recent April 2026 inspection. The 4/5 ratings across health inspections, quality measures, and staffing line up with what the numbers show, steady, above-average care without red flags.

Trinity Ridge runs a nonprofit shop with 120 beds in Hickory, and the staffing is the headline: 4.57 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, a real cushion of about 18 percent. Weekends dip roughly 11 percent below its own weekday coverage, which is worth asking about if your family visits then. Turnover sits at 40.1 percent, better than the 45.8 percent national figure but still meaning four in ten caregivers cycled through in a year. Five deficiencies on record, none involving harm or abuse, and a June 2026 inspection means the paperwork is current. Quality measures score low, so read the clinical details rather than trusting the staffing number alone.

Chowan River runs a tight ship on the clinical side, a four-star health inspection record with no deficiencies at the harm level and nothing abuse-related among its ten citations, and the most recent state visit came in April 2025. Staffing is where the picture gets more ordinary: 3.61 nurse hours per resident day sits about 6% under the national average, weekends dip roughly 6% below weekdays, and the staffing star comes in at three. Turnover, though, is the number worth noticing, 33.3% against a national average near 46%, meaning this for-profit LLC has held onto its nurses better than most homes in the country.

Smoky Mountain Health and Rehabilitation Center runs 50 certified beds in Waynesville under corporate for-profit ownership. Nurse staffing sits at 3.93 hours per resident day, just above the national average of 3.86, though weekends drop roughly 7% below the home's own weekday coverage. The bigger concern is turnover: 60.8% annually against a national average of 45.8%, meaning most of the people caring for your relative are likely new to the building. Ten deficiencies appear on the current record, none at harm or jeopardy level, but one is abuse-related. The last inspection was March 19, 2026, and quality and staffing measures both earned 4 stars against a 3-star health inspection.

Bradley Creek Health Center runs small, 30 certified beds in Wilmington, and the staffing numbers are the first thing worth noticing. At 4.39 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 14% above the national average, though weekends dip roughly 10% below its own weekday coverage, so ask how that gap gets filled. Staff turnover of 43.8% is a touch better than the 45.8% national figure, and the inspection record is clean where it counts: six deficiencies, none at the harm level, none tied to abuse, with the most recent visit in May 2025. A for-profit corporate owner and a middling quality-measure score are the caveats.

Big Elm runs leaner on risk than most: one harm-level deficiency and one abuse citation on the current record, but the state was last in the building in August 2025, so the picture is recent. Staffing is the strong point, 5.10 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, though weekends dip about 16% below the home's own weekday coverage, and turnover sits at 42%, a touch better than the 45.8% national figure. Sixteen total deficiencies is not nothing. For a 50-bed for-profit owned by an individual, four stars across health inspections, quality measures, and staffing is a steadier record than that ownership category often produces.

Whispering Pines runs 4.34 nurse hours per resident day, about 12% above the national average, and its 41% turnover is a few points better than the typical home. The catch is weekends, when staffing drops roughly 19% below its own weekday level, that's when gaps tend to show up. On inspections, the record is strong: a 5-star health inspection rating from CMS, last survey in April 2025, and just three deficiencies, though one rose to the harm level. One fine totaling $8,512 is on file. For-profit corporate ownership, 86 beds, and a consistent staffing picture overall.

Linden Place runs 105 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its last inspection came on January 10, 2026, recent enough that the findings reflect current conditions. That record carries 30 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, which is a lot to weigh against a 4-out-of-5 quality measure score. Nurse staffing sits at 3.66 hours per resident day, roughly 5% under the national average, and weekends drop about 10% below the home's own weekday level, so coverage thins exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover at 36% is better than the 45.8% national figure, meaning the crew here is comparatively stable.

Clapp's Convalescent in Asheboro runs 96 beds under individual for-profit ownership, and its inspection record is the strongest part of the picture: four deficiencies on file, none at the harm or jeopardy level, with a survey completed in December 2025. The staffing numbers are where it slips. At 3.60 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 7% under the national average, and weekends run roughly 8% lighter than its own weekdays, worth asking about if your family member needs more help on Saturdays and Sundays. Turnover at 44% is essentially average. One abuse-related deficiency appears on the record, so read that inspection report yourself before deciding.

Trinity Place runs on a nonprofit model in Albemarle with 76 certified beds, and the staffing numbers are the standout: 4.65 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a fifth above the national average, with weekend coverage dipping only about 9% below weekdays. Turnover sits at 34.1% against a national 45.8%, which matters more than any single inspection score. The trade-off shows up in quality measures, where the home earns just 2 of 5 stars, and in a record carrying three deficiencies, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, plus one fine of $8,788. Its last inspection was November 2025. Strong hands on deck, uneven clinical results.

Grantsbrook runs about 3.25 nurse hours per resident each day, roughly 16 percent under the national average, and weekends dip another 14 percent below its own weekday staffing. Turnover sits at 42 percent, a touch better than the 45.8 percent national figure. The inspection record shows 17 deficiencies, none at the harm level, but one tied to abuse. A May 2025 inspection is recent. Quality measures score well, and the inspection rating is strong, though the staffing rating lands lower, that gap between good clinical numbers and thinner daily coverage is the tension here, and it's worth asking how the floor feels on a Sunday.

Harnett Woods runs on thin staffing, and that's the main thing to know. At 3.49 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 10% under the national average, and weekends dip another 6% below what the home itself manages Monday through Friday. That's a real gap on the days families tend to visit. Turnover is 48.8%, a few points above the national figure, so the aides and nurses caring for your relative are likelier than average to be new. What holds the scores up is inspections: a recent survey in July 2025, nine deficiencies with none at harm level and one abuse-related, plus strong marks on clinical quality measures. Strong care documentation, lean coverage. If you're considering it, ask how weekends are actually staffed.

White Oak Of Waxhaw runs about 4.10 nurse hours per resident each day, roughly 6% above the national average, though weekends dip about 10% below its own weekday level. Staff turnover sits at 41.9%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure. The current inspection record is clean, zero deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, nothing abuse-related, and the most recent survey was September 2025. It's a for-profit limited liability company with 100 certified beds. The staffing numbers are solid but not exceptional, and the quality measure rating lands at 4 out of 5. What carries this home is the inspection record and steady retention, not deep staffing margins.

Anson Health And Rehabilitation runs a tight ship on paper: zero deficiencies on its current record, no harm-level or abuse citations, and a February 2026 inspection that came back clean enough for top marks from CMS on both health inspections and quality measures. Staffing is where the picture gets more mixed. At 3.63 nurse hours per resident day, this 95-bed for-profit home sits about 6% under the national average, and weekends run roughly 19% thinner than its own weekdays, so coverage isn't evenly spread across the week. Turnover, though, is genuinely low at 32.9% against a 45.8% national figure, which suggests the staff who are there tend to stay.

Bayview runs 4.63 nursing hours per resident per day, about 20 percent above the national figure of 3.86, though weekends dip roughly 15 percent below its own weekday coverage. Turnover sits at 43.1 percent, slightly better than the 45.8 percent national average, and the current record shows just two deficiencies, neither at the harm level and none tied to abuse. The last inspection was November 20, 2025. Inspections came back strong at 4 out of 5 stars, with quality measures and staffing each at 3. That split tells the story: this is a corporately owned 60-bed home that inspects well and staffs above average on weekdays, but the weekend gap and middling quality scores are worth asking about directly.

The Sharon At Southpark runs 19 certified beds as a nonprofit, and its nurse staffing sits at 12.56 hours per resident day, roughly triple the national average of 3.86. That's an unusual number, and it shows up in the weekend data too, though weekend coverage still runs about 23% below the home's own weekday level. Turnover is the softer spot: 63.3% annually against a national 45.8%, meaning the people providing that care are changing over fairly often. On inspections, the record shows 10 deficiencies with none at the harm or jeopardy level and nothing abuse-related, and the most recent visit was November 25, 2025.

Friends Homes At Guilford runs on a nonprofit model with 69 certified beds, and the staffing numbers stand out: 5.07 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 31% above the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips about 11% below its own weekday levels, which is worth asking about if your family visits or calls on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover sits at 45.3%, essentially matching the national rate of 45.8%. Inspections tell a clean story, a 5/5 health inspection rating, just two deficiencies on record, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, with the last visit in January 2026. The quality measure score of 2/5 is the outlier here, so ask what specific clinical measures are pulling that down.

Franklin Oaks runs leaner on nursing hours than most homes, 3.39 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 4% below its own weekday numbers, so families should ask how coverage holds up on Saturdays and Sundays. The good news sits in retention: 28.6% turnover is well under the 45.8% national figure, meaning the aides and nurses you meet are more likely to still be there next year. Eighteen deficiencies on record, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, but none tied to abuse. That inspection was in May 2025, so the record is current, not stale.
