At 2.99 nurse hours per resident day, it runs about 23% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 16% below its own weekday level, thin coverage getting thinner when families tend to visit.

The Hills runs lean on nursing care: 2.74 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 15% below its own weekday level. That thin coverage shows up in the numbers CMS tracks, a one-out-of-five staffing rating, 18 deficiencies on the current record including four at the harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, plus two fines totaling $29,325. Annual turnover sits at 93.2%, more than double the national rate, meaning the aides and nurses at the bedside are constantly new. The most recent inspection is dated February 26, 2026, so the record is current, not stale. Ownership is a for-profit limited liability company. Decatur families weighing this one should ask directly how the home covers weekend shifts.
Decatur Medical Lodge runs on 3.06 nurse hours per resident day, about a fifth below the national average, and weekends dip roughly 13% under its own weekday pace.

Inspections have logged 29 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse, with a $14,518 fine on record. The last inspection was April 2026. For-profit ownership through a limited liability company rounds out the picture. Worth asking direct questions about weekend coverage and how quickly shifts get filled.
