Trinity Village

Hickory, NC · Catawba County

Nurse hours
6.50 /day
Staff turnover
28%
Serious cites
0

Trinity Village in Hickory runs on a nonprofit model with 104 certified beds, and the staffing numbers stand out first: 6.50 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 68 percent above the national average, with weekend coverage dipping about 10 percent below its own weekday level. Turnover sits at 28.1 percent against a national 45.8 percent, so the people who work here tend to stay. What complicates the picture is the inspection record, five deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, plus one fine of $8,512. The most recent inspection, from March 2026, earned four stars, and the low turnover may help explain why serious problems have stayed rare despite that history.

Trinity Oaks

Salisbury, NC · Rowan County

Nurse hours
4.30 /day
Staff turnover
30%
Serious cites
0

Trinity Oaks runs a lean but well-staffed operation: 4.30 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 11% above the national average, which helps explain its top CMS staffing rating. Turnover sits at 30.1% against a national average near 46%, so the people caring for residents tend to stick around longer than is typical, though weekend coverage dips about 14% below weekday levels, worth asking about if you're planning visits. The record shows 15 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, but three flagged as abuse-related, which deserves a direct question. Inspections are recent, and the nonprofit structure matters less than the numbers themselves.

Staff turnover

Glenflora runs on a nonprofit model with 52 beds in Lumberton, and its nurses put in 4.60 hours per resident day, roughly 19% above the national average. That's a real cushion, though weekends drop about 14% below the home's own weekday pace, so coverage isn't perfectly even across the week. Annual turnover sits at 54.4%, higher than the 45.8% national figure, which means familiar faces cycle out faster than average. The inspection record shows four deficiencies, two serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and one fine of $14,689. A February 2026 inspection is recent. Quality measures score well, but staffing stability and that harm-level citation are what pull the overall picture down.

Nurse hours

Staff turnover

Aston Park runs a tight ship on the things that usually cause trouble: five deficiencies on its current record, none of them serious enough to count as harm or jeopardy, and nothing abuse-related. The last inspection was recent, in April 2026. Staffing sits at 3.67 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 5% under the national average, and weekends dip about 4% below the home's own weekday level, worth asking about if your family member needs more help on Saturdays and Sundays. The good news is turnover: 39.5% versus 45.8% nationally, meaning caregivers here tend to stick around longer than at the typical home. That stability, plus a clean inspection history as a nonprofit, is the real story behind the numbers.

Trinity Glen

Nurse hours

Staff turnover

Serious cites
0

Trinity Glen runs 117 certified beds as a nonprofit corporation, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.16 hours per resident day, roughly 8% above the national average of 3.86. That's a real cushion, though weekends dip about 14% below the home's own weekday level, so coverage isn't perfectly even across the week. Turnover lands at 45.1%, essentially matching the national 45.8%, which means this home isn't losing staff any faster than the typical facility. Its inspection record is clean where it counts: two deficiencies total, none at harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related, with a recent April 2026 inspection. The 4/5 ratings across health inspections, quality measures, and staffing line up with what the numbers show, steady, above-average care without red flags.

Nurse hours

Staff turnover

0

Trinity Ridge runs a nonprofit shop with 120 beds in Hickory, and the staffing is the headline: 4.57 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, a real cushion of about 18 percent. Weekends dip roughly 11 percent below its own weekday coverage, which is worth asking about if your family visits then. Turnover sits at 40.1 percent, better than the 45.8 percent national figure but still meaning four in ten caregivers cycled through in a year. Five deficiencies on record, none involving harm or abuse, and a June 2026 inspection means the paperwork is current. Quality measures score low, so read the clinical details rather than trusting the staffing number alone.

Trinity Place

Trinity Place runs on a nonprofit model in Albemarle with 76 certified beds, and the staffing numbers are the standout: 4.65 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a fifth above the national average, with weekend coverage dipping only about 9% below weekdays. Turnover sits at 34.1% against a national 45.8%, which matters more than any single inspection score. The trade-off shows up in quality measures, where the home earns just 2 of 5 stars, and in a record carrying three deficiencies, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, plus one fine of $8,788. Its last inspection was November 2025. Strong hands on deck, uneven clinical results.

Trinity Elms runs a church-affiliated nonprofit home in Clemmons with 100 certified beds, and the staffing is the clearest strength here: 4.96 nurse hours per resident day, about 28% above the national average, with weekend coverage dipping only slightly below weekdays. That's a real cushion. The rest of the picture is thinner. Roughly half the nursing staff turned over in the past year, a bit worse than the national rate, and the current inspection record carries 14 deficiencies, including two at the harm level and one tied to abuse, along with $15,646 in fines. Quality measure scores sit at the low end. Good coverage, uneven execution.

Abuse icon on record

Trinity Grove is church-affiliated and nonprofit, and its staffing is genuinely strong, 4.37 nurse hours per resident day sits about 13% above the national average, earning top marks on that measure. The trouble shows up everywhere else. Inspectors cited 15 deficiencies, four serious enough to put residents in harm's way and five tied to abuse, and the home has paid $102,910 across four fines. Weekend staffing drops roughly 12% below its own weekday level, which is when families often visit and notice less coverage. Turnover of 45.5% is essentially the national norm, so experience isn't accumulating here. The last inspection was September 2025. Good ratios, a troubling citation record, that gap is what families should weigh.
