Jesse Helms Nursing Center runs about 3.95 nurse hours per resident each day, a bit above the national average, though weekends dip roughly 6% below its own weekday coverage. Staff turnover sits at 41%, which is lower than the 45.8% national figure, a meaningful sign that workers tend to stay. The five deficiencies on record include none at the harm or jeopardy level and none related to abuse. Its most recent inspection was in August 2025, and the 5-star health inspection rating reflects that clean survey history, even as the quality measure score lands at 3 stars.

Sardis Oaks runs lean on nursing hours, 3.21 per resident per day against a national average of 3.86, and the gap widens on weekends, when staffing drops roughly 24 percent below its own weekday level. That thin weekend coverage is worth asking about directly, since it's when families often can't visit. Turnover sits at 44 percent, essentially matching the national rate, so the issue isn't churn so much as how many hands are scheduled per shift. Sixteen deficiencies appear on the current record, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, and the most recent inspection was recent. Quality measures score well; staffing is where the numbers fall short.

Huntersville Oaks runs on 1.69 nurse staffing hours per resident day, roughly 56 percent below the national average of 3.86, and that gap is the main thing dragging its record down. Weekend coverage holds steady against weekdays, so the shortage is consistent rather than a weekend problem. Turnover sits at 41.6 percent, a bit better than the 45.8 percent national figure, and inspections and quality measures both rate well. Still, seven deficiencies are on record, including one at the harm level and one tied to abuse, with a $9,937 fine and a May 2026 inspection. A nonprofit with 168 beds and thin staffing carries real risk despite the strong survey scores.

Cleveland Pines runs on 2.96 nursing hours per resident per day, roughly a quarter below the national average, and weekends drop about a third below what the home itself staffs on weekdays. That thin coverage shows up in the federal staffing rating, which sits at two stars, and in 13 deficiencies on the current record, none rising to harm or jeopardy, but one tied to abuse. Turnover at 43.3% is almost exactly the national rate, so this isn't a retention crisis so much as a bare-bones floor. The inspection in November 2025 came back mid-range, and quality measures score well, but a for-profit home with this few hands on weekends is asking families to do their own watching.

Stanly Manor runs 3.45 nurse staffing hours per resident day, roughly 11% under the national average, and weekends dip about 8% below its own weekday levels, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. The bigger number is turnover: 67.6% of nursing staff leaving annually against a national 45.8%, which means aides and nurses are cycling through the building faster than most. Inspections found 12 deficiencies on the current record, two serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, with $12,054 in fines. The last inspection was January 8, 2026, so the record is recent. Nonprofit ownership hasn't shielded this one from staffing strain or repeat survey problems.
