Staff turnover

The Reserve at Fort Gaines runs lean on nursing hours, 3.25 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends thin out further, dropping about 12% below what the home staffs during the week. That's the pattern behind its two-out-of-five staffing rating, and it matters more in a 60-bed home where there's less slack to absorb an absence. What works in its favor is retention: 16.7% annual turnover is remarkably low next to the 45.8% national figure, meaning familiar faces are likely doing the hands-on care. The 28 deficiencies on record include nothing flagged at harm or jeopardy level and nothing abuse-related, and the most recent inspection was April 2025, so the record is current rather than stale.

Warrenton Woods runs on a for-profit LLC model with 110 certified beds, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.13 hours per resident day, roughly 7% above the national average of 3.86. That headline number looks good until you notice weekends run about 15% leaner than weekdays, and annual turnover hits 54.5% against a national average of 45.8%, meaning the people delivering that care are cycling out fast. The inspection record shows 28 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, but two tied to abuse, with the most recent inspection dated April 2026. CMS gives it 2 stars for health inspections and 2 for staffing, while its 4-star quality measures sit oddly high against that backdrop.

The Woods at Lumber City runs 86 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing tells the clearest story here: 3.23 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends dipping about 7% below its own weekday levels. That shortfall is why CMS gives it a single star for staffing, and it lines up with a 50% annual turnover rate, higher than the 45.8% national figure. The inspection record shows 9 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, though the most recent inspection was in August 2025, so it's fairly current. Quality measures land mid-range at 3 stars. Families should ask specifically about weekend coverage and how quickly call lights get answered.

Riverside Valley Of Journey runs 90 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.49 hours per resident per day, roughly 10 percent under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 9 percent below the home's own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts land when families often visit. The current record shows 40 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in July 2025. CMS gives quality measures 4 stars but staffing only 2, which is the tension worth weighing: the clinical picture looks steadier than the day-to-day coverage numbers do.

Fairburn Heights runs on 2.94 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter below the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage drops another 10% below what it manages on weekdays. You can see that thinness in its staffing rating, which sits at the bottom of CMS's scale, and in a turnover rate of 48.7%, higher than the 45.8% national figure. The inspection record shows 30 deficiencies, including one tied to abuse and one at the harm level, though the most recent inspection was in February 2026. Quality measures score well, but that number reflects resident outcomes on paper, not how many hands are available when someone needs help.

Frankfort Trails runs a 100-bed building, and its staffing is the number that should worry you. At 2.96 nurse hours per resident per day it sits about 23% under the national average, and weekends dip another 7% below its own weekday level, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Turnover near 50% means the aides and nurses you meet may not be there in six months, which matters more than any single inspection result. The record itself is cleaner than that suggests: seven deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, no abuse findings, and a recent July 2025 inspection. A 3/5 on health inspections and 4/5 on quality measures say the care delivered is adequate. The question is capacity.

Clifton Heights runs 3.61 nurse staffing hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 9% below its own weekday levels, meaning the thinnest coverage lands exactly when families tend to visit. The bigger number is turnover: 78.9% of staff leave each year, well above the 45.8% national rate, so the people caring for your relative are often new and still learning the building. Its current record carries 35 deficiencies, 10 at harm or jeopardy level and 4 abuse-related, and CMS has placed it in the Special Focus Facility program. For-profit, LLC-owned, last inspected December 2025.

The Crossings at East Lake in Decatur runs a for-profit operation under a limited liability company, and its 29 deficiencies, three of them serious enough to put residents in harm's way, one tied to abuse, tell you the state has found real problems here, not paperwork slips. Inspectors were last in on January 14, 2026, so the record is current, and $53,565 in fines across three actions backs it up. Nurse staffing sits at 3.07 hours per resident day, roughly a fifth under the national average, with weekends about 9 percent thinner than weekdays. The one genuinely strong number: 18 percent turnover, well below the 45.8 percent national average, meaning the aides who are there tend to stay.

Dublin Trails of Journey is a for-profit LLC home in Laurens County with 105 certified beds, and the numbers point to a place that runs thin on nursing hours. At 3.25 hours per resident day, staffing sits about 16% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 6% below its own weekday levels, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Turnover runs 49.2%, higher than the 45.8% national figure, which matters because unfamiliar aides miss small changes. The inspection record shows 19 deficiencies, including two abuse-related citations, though none at the harm or jeopardy level, and one fine of $4,963. Its last inspection was March 31, 2025.

Murray Woods runs lean on nurses: 3.27 hours per resident per day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 14% below its own weekday pace. That thin coverage lines up with its one-star staffing and one-star health inspection ratings, though the 23 deficiencies on record include no findings at the harm or jeopardy level. Four of those are abuse-related, which families should ask about directly. The turnover number is the outlier worth noting, 18.4% is well under the 45.8% national average, so whatever else is shaky here, this isn't a home cycling through staff. A single fine of $15,092 and a recent October 2025 inspection round out the picture.

Roberta Trails of Journey runs 100 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its recent inspection history is genuinely clean, four deficiencies on record, none at harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related, with a May 2025 inspection still fresh. The trouble sits in the workforce. Nurse staffing averages 4.02 hours per resident day, modestly above the 3.86 national figure, but weekends drop roughly 12% below the home's own weekday coverage, and annual turnover hits 61.8% against a 45.8% national average. High turnover with thinner weekend coverage is the pattern families end up feeling. Federal quality measures land at 1 out of 5 stars, which is worth asking about directly, because a clean inspection record and weak resident outcomes don't always tell the same story.

Vanceburg Hills runs a for-profit operation with 94 certified beds, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.31 hours per resident day, roughly 14% under the national average. Weekends dip about 10% below what the home itself manages Monday through Friday, so coverage is thinnest exactly when families tend to visit. Staff turnover is 40.5%, which actually beats the national 45.8%, so the picture isn't all downside. But the inspection record carries 15 deficiencies, three of them serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, along with one fine of $10,527. The last inspection was June 2025, so the record is current rather than stale. Read together: decent retention, thin daily coverage, and a deficiency list worth asking about directly.

Chardon Woods runs 161 certified beds in Geauga County under corporate ownership, and its staffing is the number that stands out for the wrong reason. At 3.55 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 8% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 14% below its own weekday level, so the coverage gap widens exactly when families tend to visit. The inspection record is cleaner than most: 12 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related, and the most recent survey came in January 2025. Quality measures land mid-range at 3 stars while staffing sits at 1. A family weighing this one should ask how weekend coverage actually gets filled.

Lagrange Trails runs 138 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing is the weak spot: 3.30 nurse hours per resident day sits about 15% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 12% below the home's own weekday levels. Annual turnover of 53.2% means more than half the nursing staff leaves each year, well above the 45.8% national figure, that churn matters because unfamiliar caregivers miss things. Eighteen deficiencies appear on the current record, though none reached harm or jeopardy level and none involved abuse, and the last inspection was recent, in May 2025. The 2/5 staffing star against 3/5 marks for inspections and quality measures tells you where the pressure sits.

Cartersville Crossing runs about 12% below the national average on nurse staffing, at 3.39 hours per resident day, and weekends drop roughly another 15% below its own weekday level, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Annual turnover sits at 56.3%, well above the 45.8% national figure, which matters because replacements cost you familiarity with residents. The current record shows 18 deficiencies, though none rose to harm or jeopardy and none involved abuse, and the single fine came to $6,784. That inspection was recent, in January 2026. It's a for-profit limited liability company operating 74 certified beds, and the pattern across these numbers is a home that isn't dangerous but isn't well-staffed either.

Annual turnover is 43.4%, slightly better than the national 45.8%, which is one genuine bright spot. The current record shows 12 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with a recent inspection logged April 2026. Federal ratings put staffing and quality measures at 2 out of 5 stars each, health inspections at 3. Ask about weekend coverage and who actually supervises aides on those shifts.

Inspections look solid, a recent December 2025 survey, ten deficiencies on record with none at the harm level and nothing abuse-related, plus strong marks on health inspection and quality measures. Staffing is where it slips. At 2.63 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about a third below the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 18% beneath its own weekday coverage. Annual turnover hits 60.6% against a national 45.8%, meaning well over half the nursing staff leaves each year. Fewer hands, frequent replacements.

Thomasville Vistas of Journey is a 52-bed for-profit home in Thomas County, and the numbers suggest a place with persistent compliance problems. Thirty-six deficiencies sit on its current record, including two tied to abuse and one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy, that's not a paperwork issue, that's resident safety. Staff turnover runs about 52%, higher than the 46% national average, so the people caring for your family member are cycling through faster than most. The most recent inspection was December 2025, so the picture is current, and a $10,730 fine is on file. With 2/5 on both health inspections and quality measures, this one warrants close questions before you commit.

Turnover sits at 40.2%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure, and the home carries eight deficiencies with none at the harm level and none abuse-related.

Staff turnover is 69.1%, well above the 45.8% national figure, which means the people caring for your relative are frequently new or already leaving. The inspection record is the heavier concern: 94 deficiencies, including 5 at harm or jeopardy level and 10 tied to abuse, with a $72,444 fine and a June 2025 inspection.
