Carthage Senior Care runs on 4.67 nurse hours per resident day, about 21% above the national average, and its staff tends to stay, turnover of 27.8% is well under the national 45.8%. Inspectors have cited four deficiencies, none involving harm or abuse, and the last visit was in May 2024. The trade-off shows up in quality measures, where the home scores 2 out of 5 despite strong marks for staffing and inspections. Weekend coverage also dips roughly 15% below weekday levels, which matters if your family visits on Saturdays or Sundays.

Webster Health Services runs a small ship in Eupora, 36 beds, nonprofit owned, and the staffing numbers are its strongest card. At 4.54 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 17% above the national average, and weekend coverage dips only modestly from weekdays. Turnover of 28.6% is well under the national 45.8%, which matters in a rural county where replacing nurses is hard. The caution is the inspection record: four deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, plus a $12,335 fine, with the most recent survey in August 2025. Nothing points to abuse. The care hours look solid; the one bad finding is worth asking about directly.

Nurse staffing at Ms Care Center of Dekalb runs 5.17 hours per resident day, roughly a third above the national average, which is the main reason it holds a 5-star staffing rating. That said, weekends run about 24 percent lighter than weekdays, so coverage isn't perfectly level across the week. Staff turnover sits at 39.6 percent, better than the 45.8 percent national figure. The current record shows nine deficiencies, two of them at the harm or jeopardy level, with two fines totaling $10,358 and a May 2024 inspection. For-profit corporate ownership, a 4-star health inspection rating, and a 3-star quality measure rating round out a home that's strongest on staffing.

Silver Cross runs 60 beds in Brookhaven under limited-liability, for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.50 hours per resident day, roughly 9% under the national average of 3.86. That gap widens on weekends, when coverage drops about 23% below the home's own weekday level, so families should ask who's actually on the floor on Saturdays and Sundays. Turnover is 33.3%, better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for continuity of care. The inspection record shows 17 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in December 2025. Quality measures score well; staffing sits in the middle.

Dugan Memorial Home runs on unusually heavy staffing for a 60-bed for-profit home, 5.12 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a third more than the national average, and CMS gives it top marks on that measure. Weekends thin out by about a fifth, and turnover sits near 49%, a touch above the national figure, so the coverage isn't perfectly steady. The record isn't spotless either: 11 deficiencies, including one at harm level and two tied to abuse, plus a single $8,788 fine. Its last inspection was March 2026, so the picture is current. Strong hands-on care, some real compliance blemishes worth asking about directly.

Diversicare Of Amory runs 152 certified beds as a for-profit corporation, and its staffing sits at 3.42 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 11% under the national average. Weekends are thinner still, about 15% below the home's own weekday coverage, so the stretch when families often visit is the leanest. Turnover lands at 43.3%, a hair better than the national 45.8%. What stands out more is the inspection record: 39 deficiencies, two tied to abuse, though none rose to harm or jeopardy. The last inspection was April 2026, so the picture is current. Quality and staffing measures score well; the inspection history is where the caution lies.

Trinity Healthcare Center runs on a nonprofit model with 60 beds in Columbus, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.82 hours per resident day, roughly a quarter above the national average of 3.86. That cushion matters, though weekends dip about 13% below the home's own weekday coverage, so care isn't perfectly even across the week. Turnover lands at 42.2%, a touch better than the 45.8% national figure. The tradeoff shows up in inspections: 10 deficiencies on record, including two at harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, with a single $10,033 fine. The most recent inspection was April 2026, so the picture is current.

Greene County Health And Rehabilitation runs on county money and 60 certified beds, and its staffing is the standout: 4.69 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a fifth above the national average, which is why CMS hands it a five-star staffing rating. Retention is steadier than most, too, 36.5% turnover against a national 45.8%, though weekend coverage still dips about 14% below weekdays. The caution sits on the inspection side: nine deficiencies on the current record, two serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy, one tied to abuse, and a $8,788 fine. That last inspection closed in January 2026, so the picture is current. Good hands on deck; the safety record is the open question.

Bedford Care Center of Newton runs on more nursing hours than most homes in the country, 4.67 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and its staff tends to stick around, with turnover at 33.9% compared to 45.8% nationally. Weekend coverage dips roughly 10% below its own weekday levels, so ask how that plays out on a Sunday. The inspection record is clean where it matters most: nine deficiencies, but none at the harm or jeopardy level, and one abuse-related finding worth asking about directly. Quality measure scores sit at 2 out of 5, which is the number that doesn't match the rest of the picture.
