Nhc Healthcare, Ft Sanders runs 160 certified beds as a for-profit corporation, and its nurse staffing sits just above the national average, 3.98 hours per resident day against 3.86. That edge softens on weekends, when coverage drops about 7% below its own weekday level. Staff turnover is the number worth pausing on: 50.4% a year, higher than the national 45.8%. The current record carries 21 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, with a single fine of $9,770. Health inspections earned 2 out of 5 stars, while quality measures scored 5 and staffing 4, a split that suggests the day-to-day care metrics look better than the inspection history does. The last survey was January 22, 2026.

Nhc Healthcare, Cookeville runs on a corporate for-profit model with 104 certified beds, and the numbers are mostly steady. Nurse staffing sits at 4.09 hours per resident day, about 6% above the national average, though weekends drop roughly 15% below what the home provides during the week, a gap worth asking about if your family member needs consistent weekend coverage. Staff turnover is 40%, slightly better than the 45.8% national figure. Six deficiencies appear on the current record, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, and the last inspection was February 2025. That combination, recent inspection, no serious citations, solid quality scores, explains why this home grades out reasonably well despite average staffing marks.

Nhc Healthcare, Bristol runs 120 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its inspection record is decent, a 4-out-of-5 federal rating, with the most recent survey done in December 2023. But look at the staffing underneath that. Nurses provide 3.74 hours per resident per day, slightly under the national figure, and weekends drop about 12% below what the home itself staffs on weekdays. Annual turnover sits at 53.4%, well above the 45.8% national average, so caregivers are cycling through steadily. The 16 deficiencies on record include one at the harm level and one abuse-related, plus a $12,735 fine. Quality measures score well; the hands-on care numbers don't match.

Nhc Healthcare, Moulton runs 136 beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and the numbers tell a mixed story. Nurse staffing sits just under the national average at 3.80 hours per resident day, and weekends drop roughly 12% below the home's own weekday coverage, a gap families often feel on Saturday and Sunday. Staff turnover is 50.8%, higher than the 45.8% national figure, so expect some churn among caregivers. On the plus side, the inspection record is clean where it matters: nine deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related, and quality measures score well above average. The catch is that last inspection was November 2019, so that record is aging.

Nhc Healthcare in Glasgow runs 194 certified beds under corporate ownership, and its nurse staffing sits right at the national average, 3.85 hours per resident day against 3.86 nationwide. That headline number hides a wrinkle: weekends run about 15% thinner than weekdays, so care can look different depending on when you visit. Staff turnover is the bigger concern at 53.2%, well above the 45.8% national average, which matters because familiar faces tend to know residents' routines. Sixteen deficiencies sit on the current record, three tied to abuse, though none reached harm or jeopardy level, and one fine of $4,017 has been levied. The most recent inspection was in March 2026.

Nhc Healthcare - Clinton runs on thinner staffing than most homes its size. At 3.54 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 8% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 13% below its own weekday coverage, so the days families visit most are the days with the least help on hand. Staff turnover of 54.2% is nearly nine points above the national figure, which means aides and nurses cycle through faster than residents can get used to them. The record itself is cleaner: five deficiencies, none causing harm, none tied to abuse, and a recent inspection. Quality scores look strong, but those depend on the people who keep leaving.

Nhc Healthcare - Greenville runs 132 beds in Greer under for-profit, limited-liability ownership, and its inspection record is genuinely clean: three deficiencies on file, none causing harm or jeopardy, none abuse-related, with a survey completed in September 2025. Staffing is where the picture narrows. At 3.77 nurse hours per resident day, it sits slightly under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 14% below its own weekday coverage, so a Saturday shift looks different from a Tuesday. Annual turnover of 41.7% is better than the national figure, meaning the crew is comparatively stable. The tradeoff is thinner daily coverage rather than regulatory trouble.

Nhc Healthcare, Oakwood runs 60 certified beds in Lewisburg under corporate for-profit ownership, and its strongest showing is in resident outcomes, the federal quality measure rating sits at 5 out of 5. Staffing is thinner than it looks on paper: 3.23 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 16 percent below the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 10 percent below the home's own weekday coverage. Annual turnover of 49.1 percent exceeds the 45.8 percent national figure, so the faces change often. Inspections earn 3 of 5 stars, with 12 deficiencies on record, none at the harm or jeopardy level, and none abuse-related. The most recent inspection was January 22, 2026, so the picture is current.

Nhc Healthcare, Knoxville runs 127 certified beds under for-profit limited liability ownership, and its staffing sits right at the national line, 3.84 nurse hours per resident day against a 3.86 average, with weekends dropping roughly 14% below its own weekday coverage. Annual turnover is 57.7%, well above the 45.8% national figure, so the people caring for residents change often. The current inspection record carries 16 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, from a last survey dated March 15, 2023. Quality and staffing measures look strong on paper, but the inspection history and weekend gaps are where families should focus their questions.

Nhc Healthcare, Athens runs on 4.07 nurse hours per resident day, about 5% above the national average, though weekends drop roughly 14% below its own weekday staffing. Annual turnover sits at 50.8%, higher than the 45.8% national figure. The home carries a for-profit LLC ownership structure and eight deficiencies on its current record, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related. Its last inspection was August 24, 2023, and it holds 4 out of 5 stars in each CMS category, health inspections, quality measures, and staffing. The numbers point to a decently staffed home with solid inspection history, held back somewhat by turnover and thinner weekend coverage.

Nhc Healthcare, Sparta runs about 3.69 nurse hours per resident each day, roughly 4% under the national average, and weekends pull about 10% below its own weekday numbers. Turnover sits at 36.7%, better than the 45.8% national rate, so the crew here is comparatively stable. On its current record: seven deficiencies, none at the harm level, one tied to abuse, with the last inspection in June 2025. The limited liability, for-profit structure is worth knowing about, that ownership type often runs leaner on staffing, and the below-average hours here fit that pattern.

Nhc Healthcare - Mauldin runs 180 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its staffing sits slightly under the national average, 3.73 nurse hours per resident day against 3.86. That gap is small, but weekends tell a bigger story: coverage drops about 16% below the home's own weekday levels, which is when problems tend to surface. Turnover lands at 42.9%, a touch better than the 45.8% national figure. The inspection record shows eight deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with one fine of $7,313. The most recent inspection was March 2025, so the picture is current. State surveyors rated health inspections 2 out of 5, lower than the staffing and quality scores.

Nhc-Maury Regional runs a clean shop on the things inspectors can see. Seven deficiencies on the current record with none causing harm or jeopardy, and a five-star inspection rating backed by a September 2023 survey, that combination usually means a building where the basics get done. The staffing picture is more mixed. At 4.10 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 6% above the national average, but weekends run roughly 11% thinner than weekdays, and turnover hits 55.9% against a national 45.8%. That churn is worth asking about directly. Corporate for-profit ownership, 112 beds. The care numbers look solid. The question is whether the people delivering them stick around.

Nhc Healthcare, Tullahoma runs 90 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the nurse staffing number lands at 4.00 hours per resident day, about 4% above the national average of 3.86. That margin narrows on weekends, when coverage drops roughly 13% below the home's own weekday level. Staff turnover sits at 52.6%, noticeably higher than the 45.8% national figure, so continuity of caregivers is a fair question to raise. The current inspection record shows 13 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related. The last inspection was June 11, 2025, so the picture is recent. CMS rates staffing and quality measures 4 out of 5, health inspections 3.

Nhc Healthcare - North Augusta runs leaner on nursing hours than most homes, about 3.49 hours per resident per day against a national figure near 3.86, and weekends get thinner still, roughly 18% below what the building staffs on weekdays. That pattern matters if your family tends to visit Saturday and Sunday. On the plus side, turnover sits at 37.4%, noticeably better than the 45.8% national rate, so the aides and nurses you meet are more likely to still be there next year. Ten deficiencies on record, none involving harm or abuse, and a March 2026 inspection keep the regulatory picture fairly clean.

Nhc Healthcare, St Charles runs about 3.34 nurse hours per resident each day, roughly 14% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip another 11% below its own weekday staffing, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Turnover sits at 59% against a national 45.8%, which means many of the aides and nurses you'd meet are relatively new to the building. The inspection record is cleaner: eight deficiencies, none at the harm level, though one is abuse-related, and the last survey was in June 2024. Ownership is corporate for-profit, with 120 certified beds.

Weekends drop about 13% below its own weekday level, so coverage thins out right when families tend to visit. Turnover is 44.9%, essentially in line with the national 45.8%. The inspection record shows 14 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, plus a single fine of $14,433. The last inspection was May 1, 2025. Quality measures score well; staffing and inspections are where the gaps show.

White Oak Manor in Charleston runs 176 beds under corporate ownership, and its staffing sits slightly above the national average at 3.98 nurse hours per resident day. That edge shrinks on weekends, when coverage drops roughly 12% below weekday levels, worth asking about if your family visits Saturday or Sunday. Turnover lands at 38.9%, better than the 45.8% national figure, which suggests a steadier crew than many homes manage. The inspection record shows six deficiencies, one serious enough to involve harm, plus a single fine of $8,788; the most recent state visit was August 2025. Nothing here reads as dangerous, but the weekend gap and that one harm-level finding are the details to press on.

Nhc Healthcare, Chattanooga runs 200 beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.66 hours per resident day, about 5% under the national average, with weekends dipping roughly 13% below its own weekday levels. That thinner weekend coverage matters, because direct care doesn't pause on Saturdays. Annual turnover hits 51%, well above the 45.8% national figure, so familiar faces cycle out faster than average here. The inspection record is current, last reviewed in October 2024, and shows 10 deficiencies with none at the harm or jeopardy level and nothing abuse-related. CMS rates the clinical quality measures a full 5 out of 5, while staffing earns 2. The care itself looks solid on paper; the workforce keeping it running is where the strain shows.

Nhc Healthcare, Murfreesboro runs 181 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its inspection record is genuinely strong, a five-star health inspection rating, seven total deficiencies with none rising to harm or jeopardy, and a survey completed in March 2026. The catch sits in the workforce. Nurse staffing averages 3.85 hours per resident day, essentially level with the national figure, but weekends run about 9% lighter than weekdays, and annual turnover hits 56.7% against a national average of 45.8%. Two abuse-related deficiencies also appear on the current record. Consistent oversight and quality scores are doing real work here; the question is whether enough consistent hands stay on staff to keep it that way.

Weekends drop about 9% below what the home staffs on weekdays, so coverage thins out right when families tend to visit. Annual turnover of 42.6% is slightly better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters given how often new faces cycle through. The current inspection record shows 16 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, though none involve abuse. Inspectors were last on site March 18, 2026. Quality measures score well; staffing and inspections are where the home gives ground.

The Meadows runs on thinner staffing than most homes nationally, 3.48 nurse hours per resident day against an average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 12% below its own weekday coverage. Staff turnover of 55.2% sits well above the 45.8% national figure, which matters because caregivers who leave take familiarity with residents with them. Its inspection record shows 16 deficiencies, none at the harm level but four tied to abuse, and the last full inspection was in September 2022, so that picture is getting old. Quality measures score well; the staffing and inspection side is where the drag comes from.

Heartland runs 3.36 nurse hours per resident day, about 13% under the national average, and weekends dip roughly 8% below its own weekday staffing. That gap matters because aides and nurses are thinnest exactly when families visit and problems surface. The quality measure score is strong, but 54.8% annual turnover means more than half the staff leaves each year, well above the 45.8% national average, so consistent care is hard to build. The record shows 23 deficiencies, including one at harm level and one abuse-related, plus $7,901 in fines. The last inspection was April 2026. A corporation owns the place, so staffing decisions answer to a bottom line.

Nhc Healthcare - Anderson runs 290 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its health inspection record is the strongest part of the picture, six deficiencies on file, none at the harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related. The staffing numbers are where it thins out: 3.58 nurse hours per resident day sits about 7% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 17% below the home's own weekday staffing. Turnover at 42.3% is slightly better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for continuity of care. A recent inspection in November 2025 means the record is current. Quality measures land mid-range. Nothing here reads as dangerous, but the weekend staffing dip is worth asking about directly.

Nhc Healthcare, Lewisburg runs 100 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits slightly above the national average at 4.01 hours per resident day. But weekends drop about 11% below its own weekday coverage, and annual turnover runs 52.8% against a 45.8% national average, so the people on shift are often new. The inspection record is the heavier issue: 25 deficiencies, seven at harm or jeopardy level, three tied to abuse, and a $217,240 fine. With a February 2026 inspection and a one-star health inspection rating against five-star quality measures, the care results and the oversight history tell different stories.

Nhc Healthcare, Milan runs 117 certified beds in Gibson County under for-profit LLC ownership, and its inspection record shows 14 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level but one tied to abuse. A state surveyor was last in the building in August 2025, so the record is fresh, worth weighing against that single abuse citation. Nurse staffing sits at 3.85 hours per resident day, right on the national average of 3.86, though weekends drop roughly 18% below what the home staffs on weekdays. The number that stands out most is turnover: 62.2% of staff left over the year, against a national average of 45.8%. High churn can make it hard to keep consistent caregivers on the floor, especially on weekends.

Nhc Healthcare, Scott runs a tight ship on inspections, a five-star health inspection rating and a recent April 2026 survey with just four deficiencies on record, none of them causing harm. That matters. Where the picture gets less comfortable is staff retention: turnover sits near 60%, well above the national figure of roughly 46%, and weekend nurse hours drop about 17% below the home's own weekday coverage. Overall nurse staffing, at 3.98 hours per resident day, is only slightly ahead of the national average. So you have a place that passes its inspections cleanly but cycles through caregivers quickly, which is worth asking about directly when you visit, who actually knows the residents on a Sunday.

White Oak Manor in Burlington runs a 160-bed for-profit operation where the daily staffing picture looks solid on paper, about 3.97 nurse hours per resident, slightly ahead of the national average, but the numbers underneath tell a rougher story. Weekend coverage drops roughly 12% below weekday levels, meaning the hours a resident actually gets depend heavily on which day it is, and nearly half the nursing staff turns over each year. The bigger concern is the inspection record: 23 deficiencies, six serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, six tied to abuse, and two fines totaling $137,472, with the most recent inspection in November 2025. Strong quality scores and a 5/5 staffing star don't offset that history.

That gap looks small, but weekends run about 12% thinner than weekdays, which matters when a resident needs help on a Sunday. Staff turnover is 42.2%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure, not a crisis, but roughly two in five employees still leave each year. The inspection record is where the real weight sits: 10 deficiencies, three at harm or jeopardy level, two tied to abuse, and one fine of $228,511. The most recent inspection was February 2025. Quality measures score well, but quality scores and hands-on care aren't the same thing.
