Working at Riverside Health Care Center

Riverside Health Care Center is a 159-bed nursing home in Covington, Georgia. Over the 12-month period CMS measures, 42.9% of its registered nurses stopped working here. Across the 302 Georgia nursing homes CMS reports, the average is 46.1%, so Riverside Health Care Center keeps its RNs better than 51% of nursing homes in the state.

Staffing tells a different story. Residents here receive about 11 minutes of RN time per day, against 31 minutes across Georgia. That is less RN coverage than most Georgia nursing homes. CMS gives Riverside Health Care Center a staffing rating of 2 out of 5.

Turnover for the whole nursing team, which counts RNs, LPNs and nurse aides, is 41.4% here compared with 47.6% statewide.

What this means if you apply here

  • About 57% of RNs counted here stayed through CMS's 12-month measurement period, so you would join a team with continuity.
  • RN hours per resident run below the state average, so ask how assignments are built on your shift.

Questions to ask in your interview

  • How many residents does each RN cover on the shift I would work?
  • How is weekend RN coverage handled?
  • What keeps your RNs here? Ask the nurses you meet, not only the manager.
