Nurse staffing here runs at 7.57 hours per resident per day, roughly double the national average of 3.86, and that holds across a five-star staffing rating. Weekend coverage dips about 14% below weekday levels, which is worth asking about if your family visits on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover sits at 24.1% against a national average near 46%, so the people caring for residents tend to stay. Fourteen deficiencies appear on the current record, none involving harm or jeopardy and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection completed July 31, 2025. Quality measure scores land mid-range at three stars, suggesting clinical outcomes don't match the staffing strength quite as neatly.

Charleston Healthcare Center runs 150 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its staffing sits at 4.12 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 7% above the national average of 3.86, with turnover at 38.9%, better than the 45.8% norm. The catch is weekends, when staffing drops about 21% below the home's own weekday level, so coverage thins exactly when families tend to visit. Inspections tell a harder story: 71 deficiencies on the current record, including four abuse-related and one at the harm or jeopardy level, with a $12,831 fine and a most recent inspection dated April 2026. Strong quality-measure scores don't cancel out that inspection history.

Meadowbrook Acres runs 60 beds in Charleston under corporate ownership, and its nurse staffing sits just above the national average, 3.94 hours per resident day against 3.86. That margin is thin, and weekends drop about 12% below its own weekday levels, so coverage isn't evenly spread across the week. Annual turnover hits 52.6%, well past the 45.8% national figure, which means familiar faces are harder to count on. The current inspection record carries 56 deficiencies, five of them abuse-related, though none rise to harm or jeopardy. State inspectors were last in on April 14, 2025. Quality measures score well; the staffing and inspection numbers are where the questions sit.

Arthur B Hodges Center runs just 20 certified beds in Charleston, and the nurse staffing here is the headline: 5.62 hours per resident day, roughly 46 percent above the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips about 13 percent below its own weekday levels, and turnover sits at 51.4 percent against a national 45.8, so the people caring for residents keep changing even though the hours are there. Inspections look strong, a 5-star health inspection rating, last visit in June 2025, and 16 deficiencies on record with none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related. The 1-star quality measure rating is the outlier worth asking about directly.

Complete Care At Oak Ridge runs 74 certified beds on Charleston's west side as a for-profit corporate operation, and the numbers show a building running lean. Nurse staffing sits at 3.65 hours per resident day, about 6% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip roughly 12% below its own weekday level, which matters because that's when families tend to visit and notice. Staff turnover is 51.4% against a national 45.8%, so more than half the nursing workforce turns over in a year. The current record carries 37 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, with a single $16,039 fine. The last inspection was June 5, 2025, so the picture is recent. Ask about weekend coverage and how they screen and supervise staff.
