Pines of Dekalb runs on thinner nurse staffing than most homes, 3.50 hours per resident day, roughly 9 percent under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 12 percent below the home's own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. Turnover is the better story: 38.8 percent leaving annually against a national 45.8 percent, which suggests a steadier crew than average. Seven deficiencies sit on the current record, none causing harm and none abuse-related, and the last inspection was August 2025. The low-harm citation record and strong quality measures explain why this for-profit corporate home scores well despite the light staffing.

Caroleton runs a 50-bed for-profit home in Connersville, and the inspection record is the strong part: a 4 out of 5 health inspection rating, twelve deficiencies on file with none rising to harm or jeopardy and nothing abuse-related, and the most recent survey done in April 2026. Staffing is where it thins out. At 3.59 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 7% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 15% below its own weekday levels, so coverage depends on when you visit. Turnover at 32.1% is meaningfully better than the 45.8% national figure, which suggests aides tend to stay. Quality measures score 5 out of 5. Ask about weekend and evening coverage specifically.

Hickory Creek At Winamac is county-owned, and the 36-bed size means it runs small enough that staffing numbers matter more than they would at a bigger place. Nurses provide 3.29 hours per resident day, about 15% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly another 10% below the home's own weekday coverage. That's the tradeoff worth knowing about: nine deficiencies on record, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with an inspection as recent as November 2025. Turnover sits at 21.7% against a national 45.8%, so the aides and nurses here tend to stay.

Rolling Meadows sits in La Fontaine as a nonprofit corporation home with 115 certified beds, and its inspection record is genuinely strong, five stars on health inspections and five on quality measures, with a December 2025 survey and just five deficiencies on the current record, only one of them at the harm level and none tied to abuse. What holds it back is the floor. Total nurse staffing runs 3.72 hours per resident day, roughly 4% under the national average, and weekends dip about 11% below the home's own weekday coverage. Turnover at 44.4% is basically in line with the national 45.8%, so that's not the issue here. The care quality looks solid; the daily hands-on hours are the soft spot.

Williamsport Nursing and Rehabilitation is county-owned, which matters here: 31.4% annual turnover is well under the 45.8% national average, and its 4/5 staffing star reflects that relative stability. But total nurse hours come to 3.48 per resident day, roughly 10% under the national average, and weekends run about 13% below the home's own weekday staffing, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. The 27 deficiencies on record include none flagged at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, though a 2/5 health inspection star and a June 2025 inspection mean the survey history is the weaker part of the picture. Quality measures score 4/5.

Mulberry Health & Rehabilitation Center runs 159 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its last inspection closed out in June 2025 with ten deficiencies on record, none of them tied to harm, jeopardy, or abuse. That's a clean paper trail, which lines up with the top marks it earns on both health inspections and quality measures. Staffing is where the picture softens: 3.47 nurse hours per resident day sits about 10% under the national average, weekends dip roughly 8% below its own weekdays, and the staffing star comes in at 3 out of 5. Turnover at 33.1% is actually well below the national 45.8%, so the people who are there tend to stay.

Homeview Center of Franklin is county-owned, and that shows in how it's run: five deficiencies on the current record with none at the harm level and none tied to abuse, plus a clean five-star inspection history and a recent survey from March 2026. Staffing sits at 3.65 nurse hours per resident day, about 5% under the national average, and weekends run roughly 8% thinner than weekdays, so ask how that gap gets covered. Turnover is 38.4%, better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for whether you see the same faces. The quality measures also score at the top.

Hearthstone runs 3.67 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 5% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 6% below its own weekday staffing. The tradeoff for that thinner coverage is consistency: 31.4% annual turnover is well below the 45.8% national figure, so the aides and nurses showing up are more likely to know the residents. Inspections are where it stands out, five stars on health inspections and quality measures, with the most recent survey in March 2026. The current record shows 10 deficiencies, one serious enough to cause harm, and none tied to abuse. For a 64-bed for-profit, that's a solid but not spotless record.

Stonecroft Health Campus runs a tight ship on the clinical side. The Bloomington home has a clean inspection record, four deficiencies, none at the harm level and none tied to abuse, with its most recent survey in May 2025, so the findings are current. Nurse staffing sits at 4.08 hours per resident day, about 6% above the national average, though weekends dip roughly 5% below weekdays, which matters if you're visiting Saturday or Sunday. Turnover at 44.4% is essentially the national rate, not a red flag but not a retention strength either. For-profit corporate ownership means you'll want to ask who the administrator reports to and how often that changes.

Park Place runs on a nonprofit model with 49 beds in Mount Pleasant, and the staffing numbers stand out: 5.31 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86. That's roughly a third more hands-on time than most homes, though weekends dip about 12% below its own weekday level, so coverage isn't perfectly even. Turnover sits at 51.9%, higher than the 45.8% national figure, which means new faces cycle through fairly often. The record shows 13 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, but two tied to abuse, worth asking about directly. Inspectors last visited in May 2025.

Dunlap Specialty Care runs a 46-bed nonprofit home in Harrison County, and the numbers pull in different directions. Nurse staffing sits at 3.58 hours per resident day, roughly 7 percent under the national average, and weekends dip about 7 percent below the home's own weekday levels. Turnover is the brighter spot: 35.5 percent against a national 45.8 percent, so people tend to stay. What weighs the record down is the inspection history, 41 deficiencies on file, including 5 at the harm or jeopardy level and 4 tied to abuse, plus one fine of $10,062. The last inspection was in May 2025, so the record is current. Strong family satisfaction scores and staffing stars don't erase that harm-level citation count, and families should ask directly what changed since.

Good Samaritan, Saint Ansgar runs on a leaner nursing crew than most homes nationally, 2.94 nurse hours per resident day against a 3.86 average, and weekends dip about 15% below its own weekday coverage. The offset is stability: staff turnover sits at 27.8%, well under the 45.8% national figure, so the people there tend to stay. Its inspection record is clean where it counts, with four deficiencies on file and none involving harm, jeopardy, or abuse, and the most recent state visit came in April 2025. For a 42-bed nonprofit, that mix of low turnover and no-harm findings is doing more work than the raw staffing number suggests.

Pleasant View runs about 4.34 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 12% above the national average, and its staff turnover of 39% comes in under the 45.8% national figure, two real strengths in a 70-bed for-profit building. The catch is consistency: weekend staffing drops about 13% below its own weekday level, so the care you'd see on a Tuesday isn't guaranteed on a Sunday. Twelve deficiencies sit on the current record, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the last inspection in July 2025. Solid numbers overall, worth a visit on a weekend to see the difference for yourself.

Westview Care Center runs a tight operation, zero deficiencies on its current record, no abuse findings, and a recent inspection from July 2025 that came back clean. Staffing sits at 3.56 hours per resident day, roughly 8% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 10% below its own weekday coverage, so afternoons and Saturdays may feel leaner than the numbers suggest. What stands out is retention: turnover at 34.4% beats the national 45.8%, meaning the people caring for residents tend to stick around. For a 67-bed for-profit LLC in Britt, that combination of a spotless inspection history and a stable workforce is the real story here.

Traditions Memory Care of Newton runs lean on the floor. At 2.99 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 23% under the national average, and weekends dip roughly 8% below its own weekday levels, the stretch when families tend to visit and when staffing gaps show most. What offsets that is stability: 21.2% turnover against a national 45.8% means the aides and nurses here largely stay, which matters more in memory care than almost anywhere. Seven deficiencies on record, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with a fresh July 2025 inspection behind those numbers. The corporate owner takes profit, and the low staffing score reflects that choice; the people working there appear to be doing right by residents anyway.

Ruthven Community Care Center runs 46 certified beds as a nonprofit, and its recent inspection history is genuinely clean for a home this size, six deficiencies on record, none of them causing harm or jeopardy, and the last survey closed out in October 2025. The tradeoff sits in the daily staffing numbers: 3.33 nurse hours per resident, roughly 14% under the national average, and weekends drop about another 10% below the home's own weekday level. Turnover at 35% is better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for consistency of care. The quality and inspection ratings both land at 4 out of 5. Ask about weekend coverage and which shift the abuse-related citation involved.

Martin Health Center runs on unusually solid staffing for a 50-bed nonprofit home in Cedar Falls, 4.21 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 9% above the national average, and enough to earn a top staffing rating from CMS. Weekend coverage dips about 8% below its own weekday level, which is worth asking about if your family visits on Saturdays or Sundays. Staff turnover sits at 39.7%, better than the 45.8% national figure, no small thing when consistent caregivers matter. The tradeoffs show up elsewhere: 11 deficiencies on record, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and a mid-range quality measure score. The last inspection was recent, in May 2025, so the picture is current.

Wesley Park Centre in Newton runs a nonprofit operation with 66 certified beds, and the staffing numbers are the strongest part of the picture: 4.19 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 8% above the national average, with a five-star CMS staffing rating to match. Weekend coverage dips about 11% below weekday levels, though, and turnover sits at 35.2%, better than the 45.8% national figure, but still a third of the staff leaving annually. The inspection record is where it gets cloudier: 10 deficiencies on file, two of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, plus one fine of $17,345, with the most recent inspection in January 2026. Solid staffing, moderate inspection history.

Savannah Heights runs 50 beds in Mount Pleasant under corporate for-profit ownership, and its last inspection was in August 2025, recent enough that the record reflects how the home operates now. Nurse staffing sits at 3.85 hours per resident day, essentially level with the national average of 3.86, though weekends run about 15% thinner than weekdays. Turnover is 47.4% against a national 45.8%, so a meaningful share of caregivers are still new to the building. The 16 deficiencies on file include one abuse-related citation, but none rose to harm or jeopardy, and the inspection and quality ratings both land at 4 of 5.

Sabetha Manor runs 40 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its strongest number is staffing: 3.92 nurse hours per resident day, slightly ahead of the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips about 4% below weekdays, but annual turnover of 29.6% sits well under the national 45.8%, a real advantage when consistent aides matter more than raw hours. The tradeoffs show up elsewhere. The current record carries 16 deficiencies, two of them abuse-related, though none rose to harm or jeopardy level, and the last inspection was in January 2026. Quality measures score 2 of 5 stars while staffing scores 5, so your read on this home depends on which you weight more: reliable daily care or the inspection and quality side, which lag behind.
