Augusta Medical Center Skilled Care is a small unit, 17 beds, run by a nonprofit corporation, and the numbers behind its record are worth knowing. Nurse staffing sits at 6.29 hours per resident day, well above the national average, though weekends run roughly 17% lighter than weekdays, so coverage isn't perfectly even. Staff turnover is 35%, better than the national 45.8%. Inspections tell a clean story: four deficiencies on record, none involving harm or abuse, and the most recent visit was in May 2024. For a family weighing a rehab stay or longer-term placement, the low deficiency count and steady staffing carry more weight than any single score.

Shenandoah Nursing Home in Fishersville runs on thinner nurse staffing than most homes nationally, 3.43 hours per resident day against an average of 3.86, with weekends dropping about 15% below its own weekday levels. That pattern matters most on Saturdays and Sundays, when care needs don't take the weekend off. The tradeoff is a relatively stable workforce: 37% turnover beats the 45.8% national figure, and a 4/5 inspection rating with no harm-level or abuse deficiencies on a recent May 2024 survey suggests the care is consistent even when staffing is lean. Family members should ask how weekend coverage is handled on the specific unit their relative would live on.

Augusta Nursing and Rehabilitation runs on 2.96 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly a quarter below the national average, and weekends dip about 14% below its own weekday level. That thin coverage has produced a citation record of 81 deficiencies, including 7 at harm or jeopardy level and 9 tied to abuse, plus one fine of $203,292. Staff turnover sits at 58.1% against a 45.8% national average, and the last inspection was February 2023. The quality measure score looks strong, but it reflects charted care processes rather than the staffing and compliance problems stacked against them.
