Nhc Healthcare, Pulaski runs 102 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its staffing sits just under the national average at 3.80 nurse hours per resident day. Weekends dip about 9% below its own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts are predictable. Annual turnover of 41% actually beats the 45.8% national figure, which matters for continuity. The health inspection side is the weak spot: a 2-out-of-5 star rating, seven deficiencies on record with two at harm or jeopardy level, no abuse citations, and nothing inspected since October 2022, nearly three years without a fresh look. Quality measures score 5/5, staffing 4/5. Ask what that care actually looks like on a Sunday.

Elk River Health and Nursing Center in Ardmore runs a nonprofit operation with 79 certified beds, and its overall nurse staffing sits just a hair above the national average, 3.89 hours per resident day against 3.86. That margin is thin enough to disappear on weekends, when coverage drops about 16% below the home's own weekday level. The bigger number to sit with is turnover: 62.1% of staff leaving annually, well above the 45.8% national figure. Inspections look solid, with a four-star health inspection rating and no deficiencies at the harm level, though one of the eight cited is abuse-related.

Meadowbrook Healthcare And Rehabilitation Center runs 83 certified beds in Pulaski, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.19 hours per resident day, roughly 17% under the national average of 3.86. That gap shows up most on weekends, when coverage drops about 13% below what the home staffs on weekdays. The record itself is fairly clean on safety, 8 deficiencies total, none at the harm level and none tied to abuse, with the last inspection dated February 2026 and a 4-star health inspection rating. Quality measures come in at 2 stars, though, which fits with thin staffing. Corporate for-profit ownership means decisions about direct-care hours get made with margin in mind.
