Staff turnover sits at 34.7%, well under the 45.8% national figure, which matters for whether your family sees the same faces month to month. The 28 deficiencies on record include one tied to abuse, though none rose to the level of actual harm or jeopardy, and the most recent state inspection came in March 2025.

Cherokee County Nursing Center runs on better-than-average nurse coverage, 4.13 hours per resident day, roughly 7% above the national figure, though weekends dip about 10% below what the home staffs during the week. That's worth knowing if your visits tend to fall on Saturdays or Sundays. The 24 deficiencies on record include two tied to abuse, but none rose to the level of actual harm or jeopardy, and the state's most recent look came in July 2025, so the picture is fairly current. Staff turnover sits at 48.5%, a bit above the 45.8% national rate, which is common in for-profit corporate ownership. Inspections grade well; quality measures land mid-range.

Sequoyah Pointe runs on thinner staffing than most homes its size, 3.32 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly another 10% below its own weekday levels, which matters when that's when families visit and problems tend to surface. Turnover sits near 49%, a bit above the national figure, so the aides and nurses around your relative may not be the same faces a year from now. The record shows 22 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related and worth asking about directly. The bright spot: a January 2025 inspection, so the picture is current.
