Mohun Health Care Center

Columbus, OH · Franklin County

Nurse hours

Staff turnover
21%
Serious cites
0

Mohun Health Care Center runs on unusually deep nurse coverage: 5.48 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends dip only about 8% below its own weekday level, so care doesn't thin out much when families visit. Staff turnover sits at 21.4% versus 45.8% nationally, meaning aides and nurses here tend to stay. Its 12 deficiencies include none at the harm level and none abuse-related, and the most recent inspection was in March 2026. As a nonprofit with 72 beds, it isn't chasing volume, the numbers point to a home that invests in the people doing the daily work.

Wesley Glen runs on 6.28 nurse hours per resident day, about 63% above the national average of 3.86, and its weekend staffing only dips about 12% below weekday levels. Turnover sits at 42.3%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure, and the nonprofit has a clean inspection record on harm: 12 deficiencies total, none at the harm or jeopardy level, though 2 are abuse-related. CMS gives it 5 stars across health inspections, quality measures, and staffing, and its last inspection was in April 2026. The numbers say a well-staffed home with recent oversight and no serious harm findings, with those two abuse citations the main thing worth asking about directly.

The Robert A. Barnes Center runs 25 beds under church-related nonprofit ownership, and the staffing numbers stand out: 7.04 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 82% above the national average. Weekend coverage dips about 8% below its own weekday level, and turnover sits at 38.5%, better than the 45.8% national figure, though still meaning more than a third of staff leaving each year. The inspection record shows 21 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, but two tied to abuse, which families should ask about directly. A June 2025 inspection keeps the record current, and the four- and five-star ratings across health inspections, quality measures, and staffing back up what the numbers suggest.

Westerwood Rehabilitation sits at 75 certified beds in Columbus, run by a for-profit corporation. The numbers that stand out: nurse staffing at 4.32 hours per resident day, roughly 12% above the national average, and staff turnover near 31% against a national figure closer to 46%, a meaningful gap when consistent caregivers matter to families. Weekend coverage dips about 10% below weekday levels, which is common but worth asking about. The home carries 19 deficiencies on its current record, none at the harm level, though one is abuse-related. Its last inspection was February 2026, so the picture is recent.

Friendship Village Of Dublin runs 5.20 total nurse staffing hours per resident day, roughly a third more than the 3.86 national average, and weekends only dip about 9% below its own weekdays. That's a real cushion, and it's why staffing holds four stars. The quality measures are stronger still at five. What pulls against that picture is the inspection record: 20 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, though none tied to abuse. The most recent state visit was November 2024. So you're looking at a nonprofit home where day-to-day care capacity is clearly above par, but the survey history has some weight in it. Ask to see the plan of correction for that harm-level citation before you decide.

Staff turnover

Worthington Christian Village runs 6.15 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 59% above the national average of 3.86, and that staffing level is the main thing separating it from most homes its size. Weekends dip about 12% below its own weekday coverage, and turnover sits at 50.9% against a national 45.8%, so the floor isn't perfectly steady even with the strong numbers. The current record shows 17 deficiencies, one of them serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, though none involve abuse. Its last inspection was in January 2026, and the quality and staffing ratings both come in at the top of CMS's scale.

Scioto Pointe runs 99 certified beds in Columbus under corporate, for-profit ownership, and its staffing sits at 2.84 nurse hours per resident per day, about 27% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip roughly 12% below its own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts are predictable. Turnover is the bright spot: 19.6% against a national 45.8%, meaning the aides and nurses who are there tend to stay. Inspections tell a harder story, 41 deficiencies on the current record, one tied to abuse, and a one-star health inspection rating, though nothing rose to actual harm or jeopardy. The most recent inspection was April 2, 2026.

Wesley Woods At New Albany runs just 16 certified beds under church-related nonprofit ownership, and the staffing numbers stand out: 7.12 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 84 percent above the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips about 18 percent below its own weekday level, so ask how that plays out on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover sits at 46.4 percent, essentially matching the national 45.8 percent. Twelve deficiencies appear on the current record, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, with the last inspection in June 2025. Small, well-staffed, and inspected recently, the tradeoff is that a 16-bed home has little room to absorb a bad week.

First Community Village in Columbus runs a nonprofit home with 47 beds, and its nurse staffing sits well above what most homes manage, about 5.06 hours per resident day against a national average near 3.86. That's a real edge, though weekends dip roughly 8% below its own weekday coverage, and turnover runs 51%, a bit above the 45.8% national figure. The tradeoff shows up in its record: 26 deficiencies, two of them at harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, plus one fine of $17,610. Its last inspection was June 2025. Quality measures score high; the inspection history is where the caution lives.

Nurse hours

Staff turnover
26%
Serious cites
0

The Laurels of Worthington runs 95 beds under corporate ownership, and its nursing hours come in around 12 percent under the national average, with weekends thinner still. That gap matters most on Saturdays and Sundays, when fewer hands are on the floor. Turnover is the bright spot: 25.7 percent against a national average near 46 percent, so the staff who are there tend to stay. The inspection record shows 31 deficiencies, none at the level of harm or immediate jeopardy, though one is abuse-related. State surveyors last visited in November 2024. Quality measures score well, which suggests residents' clinical outcomes hold up despite the leaner daily staffing.

Willow Brook Christian Home

Nurse hours

Staff turnover

Willow Brook runs on a non-profit model with 50 beds in Columbus, and its staffing numbers are genuinely strong, 4.03 nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the national average, though weekends drop roughly 12% below its own weekday coverage. Turnover sits at 38.9%, better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for consistency of care. The catch is the inspection record: 25 deficiencies on file, including one at the harm level and four tied to abuse. That's a real gap between how the place is staffed and how it's been cited. The last inspection was April 2026, so the record is current. Quality and staffing measures look good; the survey history is where the caution lives.

Staff turnover

Ohio Living Westminster-Thurber runs lean on paper in a way that mostly holds up, 5.18 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a third more than the national average, and that's the main reason it lands where it does. The trouble sits elsewhere. Staff turnover is 58.7%, well above the 45.8% national figure, and weekend coverage drops about 13% from weekday levels, so the hours aren't spread evenly. On inspections, 27 deficiencies include one at harm level and six tied to abuse, with a $14,680 fine on record. Quality measures score high; the inspection history is what pulls it down.
