Deupree Cottages

Staff turnover

Deupree Cottages runs on a small scale, 24 certified beds under nonprofit ownership, and the staffing numbers reflect that attention. At 5.39 nurse hours per resident day, it sits roughly 40% above the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage stays within about 10% of its weekday level, so care doesn't thin out when families tend to visit. Staff turnover tells its own story: 15.8% against a national 45.8% means aides and nurses are staying put, which matters for residents who depend on familiar faces. Thirteen deficiencies on record with none at the harm level and none abuse-related, plus a July 2025 inspection, round out a picture of a home that's both well-staffed and recently reviewed.

Ohio Living Llanfair runs a small 36-bed nonprofit home in Hamilton County, and the staffing numbers are the story here. At 5.28 nurse hours per resident day, it's well above the national average, and weekend coverage only dips about 14% from weekdays, less than many places manage. Staff turnover sits at 28.2%, noticeably below the national rate, which matters for consistency of care. On the record: 14 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, though two are abuse-related and worth asking about directly. The most recent inspection was December 31, 2025, so the picture is current. For a family weighing options, the staffing depth and low turnover are the real signals behind the A.

Nurse staffing at Courtyard At Seasons runs about 4.19 hours per resident day, roughly 8% above the national average, and the weekend dip is fairly modest at around 8% below weekday levels. Staff turnover sits at 27.7%, well under the national 45.8%, which matters for consistency of care. On the inspection side, the home carries 23 deficiencies, but none at the harm or jeopardy level, and one abuse-related finding. The most recent inspection was September 2025, so the record is current. A 45-bed for-profit LLC with that staffing margin and low turnover is doing better than most on the things families notice day to day.

Twin Towers runs on 5.06 nurse hours per resident day, well above the 3.86 national average, and its weekend staffing only dips about 8% below weekdays, a smaller drop than many homes show. Staff turnover sits at 51%, a bit above the 45.8% national figure, so that's the soft spot. Inspections found 12 deficiencies, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, though none tied to abuse. The last full inspection was February 2026, so the record is current. Nonprofit ownership, strong marks on quality measures, and nurse coverage that genuinely exceeds the norm are what's carrying this one.

Marjorie P Lee Retirement Community runs on unusually heavy nurse staffing for a nursing home, 5.30 hours per resident day, roughly a third more than the national figure. Weekend coverage dips only slightly from weekday levels, and turnover sits well under the national rate, which matters because stable caregivers tend to know residents' routines. The trade-off is a recent record with four deficiencies, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, though none tied to abuse. Inspectors were last in on January 29, 2026, so the picture is current, not stale. As a nonprofit with 88 beds, it isn't chasing volume; the numbers suggest a home placing real weight on direct care, with one inspection finding worth asking about directly.

Twin Lakes runs on 5.74 nurse hours per resident day, roughly half again the national average of 3.86, and it carries a five-star staffing rating and a five-star inspection record to match. Three deficiencies sit on the current record, none of them at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the last inspection dated June 2024. Weekend staffing dips about 13% below its own weekday level, so ask how weekends actually look on the floor, and turnover of 40.7% is lower than the national 45.8% but still means a good share of the staff you meet will be new within a year. Nonprofit ownership, 43 beds, and a quality measure rating of 3 out of 5 round out the picture.

Weekend coverage dips about 10% below its own weekday level, which is worth knowing if your visits fall on Saturdays or Sundays. Annual turnover is 41.9%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure. The health inspection record shows 14 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, though four are abuse-related and worth asking about directly. The most recent inspection was May 22, 2025, so the picture is current. Strong quality measure scores and above-average staffing are the real story here.

Bayley Place is a nonprofit home in Cincinnati with 110 certified beds, and its nurse staffing runs 6.80 hours per resident day, roughly 76% above the national average of 3.86. That kind of staffing depth shows up in the numbers: the home scores 4 out of 5 on both CMS staffing and health inspection ratings, and a perfect 5 out of 5 on quality measures. Its last inspection was recent, August 2025, and the record carries 18 deficiencies with none at the harm or jeopardy level. Two things are worth knowing. Weekend staffing drops about 5% below weekday levels, and annual turnover sits at 49.7%, above the 45.8% national average. Five abuse-related deficiencies are also on record.

Mount Notre Dame Health Center runs on 5.42 total nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 40% above the national average of 3.86, a real cushion given it's a 40-bed home. Weekend staffing dips about 10% below its own weekday level, so the weekday coverage is stronger than Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover sits at 40.6%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters in a small building where one departure is felt. The inspection record is clean where it counts: three deficiencies total, none at harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related, and the last visit was November 2024. Church-affiliated nonprofit ownership rounds out the picture.

Mt Healthy Christian Home runs on unusually heavy staffing for a 75-bed nonprofit, just under 5 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 29% above the national average, and weekend coverage barely dips below weekdays. That's the kind of consistency that matters when a resident needs help on a Sunday night. Inspections back it up: a perfect health inspection record and no abuse deficiencies, with the most recent visit in October 2024. Two things keep this from being a clean sweep. Staff turnover sits at 51.4%, above the 45.8% national average, which can wear on continuity of care. And of seven deficiencies on record, one rose to the harm level. Worth asking the administrator how they're addressing both.
