Nhc Healthcare, Kingsport runs on 4.53 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 17% above the national average, and its weekend coverage dips only about 9% below its own weekday level, a gap that tends to matter when families visit and notice who's actually on the floor. Annual turnover sits at 34.1%, well under the 45.8% national figure, meaning the aides and nurses here are more likely to be people who've stayed. The current inspection record shows three deficiencies, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, with the most recent survey dated May 2026. It's a for-profit limited liability company, so weigh that against the numbers rather than instead of them.

Asbury Place Kingsport runs a lean nursing floor: 3.48 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 10% under the national average, and weekends drop about 8% below its own weekday coverage. That's worth asking about if your family member needs help on Saturdays and Sundays. The tradeoff is consistency, 34.5% annual turnover is well below the 45.8% national figure, so the aides and nurses you meet are more likely to still be there next year. Ten deficiencies sit on the current record, none at harm level, one tied to abuse, with five fines totaling $23,604. A for-profit LLC operates the 67-bed home, and its last inspection was April 2026.

Waters Of Bristol runs on a lean crew. At 3.01 nurse hours per resident per day, it sits about 22% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 11% below its own weekday coverage, a gap families tend to notice on Saturday afternoons. The tradeoff looks favorable elsewhere: staff turnover of 32.4% is well below the national 45.8%, and the home's last inspection, in August 2025, left just three deficiencies on record, none at the harm level and none abuse-related. Ownership is for-profit, through a limited liability company. So you're looking at a place that inspects clean and keeps its people, but asks them to cover more residents per shift than most. Whether that tradeoff works depends on your family member's care needs.

Greystone runs 4.17 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 8% above the national average, so the raw staffing number looks better than most. Look closer and the picture shifts: weekend coverage drops about 11% below its own weekday level, and annual turnover sits at 54.6% against a national 45.8%, meaning more than half the nursing staff leaves each year. The inspection record is where things get serious, 25 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related citation, with a $15,041 fine and a one-star health inspection rating from CMS. The last inspection was October 30, 2024, so it's fairly recent. For-profit LLC ownership rounds out the profile.

Wexford House runs 174 beds in Kingsport, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.04 hours per resident day, roughly 21% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop about 11% below the home's own weekday numbers, and annual turnover hits 65% against a national 45.8%, so the aides and nurses you'd see most often are changing faster than average. The current record lists 15 deficiencies, including two tied to abuse, though none rose to the harm or jeopardy level, and the last inspection was in June 2025. Quality measures score mid-range while staffing lands at the bottom of CMS's scale, which is where the C comes from.

Holston Rehabilitation and Care Center runs 204 beds in Kingsport, and the staffing numbers are where I'd start. At 3.63 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 6% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 11% below its own weekday level, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Annual turnover is 68.1%, well above the 45.8% national figure, which usually means less continuity for residents. The current record shows 23 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and two abuse-related, plus a $16,720 fine. Inspections were recent, in November 2025, and the health, quality, and staffing ratings all land at two stars or lower.

Orchardview runs on thin staffing. At 3.39 nurse hours per resident per day, it sits about 12% under the national average of 3.86, and the weekend numbers don't drop further, so there's no extra coverage cushion when census or acuity spikes. The bigger red flag is turnover: 70.8% annually, against a national average of 45.8%. That's a building where most of the people caring for your relative will be gone within a year. The inspection record backs that up. Nineteen deficiencies on file, four of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, five tied to abuse. Three fines totaling $94,905. The most recent inspection was January 2025, so the record is current, not stale. All three CMS star ratings, health inspections, quality measures, and staffing, land at 2 out of 5.
