Working at Skyland Care Center

Skyland Care Center is a 94-bed nursing home in Sylva, North Carolina. Over the 12-month period CMS measures, 14.3% of its registered nurses stopped working here. Across the 385 North Carolina nursing homes CMS reports, the average is 45.6%, so Skyland Care Center keeps its RNs better than 91% of nursing homes in the state.

Staffing tells a different story. Residents here receive about 34 minutes of RN time per day, against 37 minutes across North Carolina. That is less RN coverage than most North Carolina nursing homes. CMS gives Skyland Care Center a staffing rating of 3 out of 5.

Turnover for the whole nursing team, which counts RNs, LPNs and nurse aides, is 41.3% here compared with 48.8% statewide.

What this means if you apply here

  • About 86% 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.
