Lakeview Village runs on a nonprofit model with 158 certified beds in Lenexa, and its nurse staffing sits at 5.86 hours per resident day, roughly half again the national average of 3.86. That staffing depth is real, and it holds up reasonably on weekends, dipping only about 6% from weekday levels. Turnover lands at 41.1%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure. What pulls the record down is inspection history: 26 deficiencies on file, two of them serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy, plus two fines totaling $35,619. The most recent inspection was April 22, 2026. Strong staffing, middling inspections, that's the tradeoff here.

Wellsville Manor runs 51 certified beds under corporate ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.72 hours per resident day, roughly 22% above the national average of 3.86, which is a real cushion, though weekends dip about 10% below its own weekday levels. Turnover lands at 45.7%, essentially identical to the national 45.8%, so retention here is neither a strength nor a problem. The current record shows 18 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, but one is abuse-related, which is worth asking about directly. Its last inspection was May 2026, so the picture is recent.

Medicalodges Kinsley runs on 6.00 nurse hours per resident day, well above the 3.86 national average, and that staffing shows up in its four-star rating. The catch is consistency: weekends dip about 9% below the home's own weekday coverage, and turnover sits at 53.8% against a national 45.8%, so the people providing that care keep changing. The inspection record is the harder read. Thirteen deficiencies on file, including one at the harm level and three tied to abuse, plus a $53,580 fine, all from a visit in November 2024. A for-profit corporation operates the 42-bed home, and quality measures rate well even as the health inspection side lags behind.

Sterling Village runs a nonprofit home of 45 beds in Rice County, and the numbers split cleanly in two directions. Nursing hours come in at 4.42 per resident day, roughly 14 percent above the national average, and staff turnover sits at 33.3 percent against a national 45.8, that's a workforce that mostly stays put, though weekend coverage drops about 8 percent below its own weekday level. The trouble is on the health inspection side: 18 deficiencies on the current record, two of them serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, one fine of $24,206, and a January 2025 inspection that produced a 2-out-of-5 rating. Nobody here is accused of abuse. But two harm-level findings is the part I'd ask about directly.

Buhler Sunshine Home runs on church-affiliated nonprofit ownership, and the numbers show a home that's well staffed but not without paperwork problems. At 5.22 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 35% above the national average, and weekend coverage barely dips, roughly 6% below its own weekday level, which is a small gap. Staff turnover of 32.9% also beats the national 45.8%, meaning aides and nurses tend to stick around longer here than at most places. The tradeoffs: 15 deficiencies on the current record, though none involved actual harm or abuse, and the most recent inspection was February 2025. Quality measure scores came in at 2 out of 5, which is the weakest part of the picture.

Life Care Center of Wichita runs 120 certified beds under corporate ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.60 nurse hours per resident day, about 7% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip roughly 7% below its own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. Turnover is the brighter spot: 37.8% against a national 45.8% means fewer unfamiliar faces than at the typical home. The health inspection record shows 15 deficiencies, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, though none abuse-related, and the most recent inspection was March 2025. Strong quality and staffing marks sit alongside that inspection history, read it as a home doing well on care measures with some compliance gaps worth asking about directly.

Lincoln Park Manor runs a lean but well-staffed ship: 4.33 nurse hours per resident day, about 12% above the national average, with weekend coverage holding steady within 3% of weekdays. Turnover sits at 31.9% against a national 45.8%, which matters for consistency of care. The concerns show up elsewhere. Thirty-seven deficiencies on the current record, none at harm or jeopardy level, but four tied to abuse, and a quality measure rating of 1 out of 5 suggest the clinical outcomes don't match the staffing picture. The last inspection was August 2025, so the record is recent. As a nonprofit with 36 beds, it's small enough that one bad stretch shows up fast in the numbers.

Halstead Health and Rehabilitation Center runs about 60 beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its staffing numbers tell a mixed story. Nurses provide 3.49 hours per resident day, roughly 10% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop another 12% below the home's own weekday coverage. Turnover sits at 38.5%, better than the 45.8% national figure, which suggests some stability in who's actually showing up. The inspection record is where things get heavier: 31 deficiencies, two of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, though none abuse-related. The last inspection was April 2026. Quality and staffing measures both score well, but the raw deficiency count and thin daily hours are worth asking about directly.

The Wheatlands runs a lean nonprofit shop in Kingman with 54 beds, and the numbers that matter most here are on the staffing side. At 4.51 nurse hours per resident day, it's running about 17% above the national average, and its staff turnover of 36.5% sits well under the 45.8% national figure, that combination usually means people stay, and residents see familiar faces. Weekend coverage dips roughly 9% from weekday levels, which is worth asking about directly. The inspection record shows 11 deficiencies with nothing at the harm level and no abuse findings, and the most recent survey was in December 2024, so the picture is current.

Treyton Oak Towers runs 4.03 nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the national average of 3.86, though weekend coverage drops about 11% below what the home staffs on weekdays. Staff retention looks solid at 34.7% turnover against a 45.8% national figure. The problem sits on the inspection side: 28 deficiencies on the current record, four serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy, six tied to abuse, and a $16,724 fine. CMS gave the health inspection domain 1 out of 5 stars. That gap between steady staffing and a troubled inspection history is what pulls the overall picture down, despite a July 2025 inspection and the nonprofit ownership.

Life Care Center Of La Center runs a tight ship on the things inspectors catch. Three deficiencies on the current record, none at the harm level, none tied to abuse, and a five-star health inspection rating behind that. Staff turnover sits at 25.9%, well under the 45.8% national average, which matters for whether your mother sees the same faces month to month. The tradeoff is coverage: 3.57 nurse hours per resident day is about 8% under the national figure, and weekends drop roughly 14% below the home's own weekday staffing. Recent inspection, February 2026. Corporate-owned, for profit.

Kingsbrook Lifecare Center runs on unusually deep nurse staffing, 5.01 hours per resident day, roughly 30% above the national average, and its staff retention is strong, with turnover at 24.6% against a national rate near 46%. That consistency matters, though weekend coverage dips about 11% below weekday levels, so families should ask how that gap gets covered. The trade-off shows up elsewhere: 16 deficiencies on the current record, two serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, plus $11,154 in fines across two penalties. Its most recent inspection was in June 2025, so the picture is current, and this nonprofit's quality measure scores sit below its staffing marks.

Summer Commons runs a lean ship on the clinical side: 4.89 nurse hours per resident day puts it well above the national figure, and its last inspection came back clean on harm, no deficiencies at that level, nothing tied to abuse. The catch is people. More than half the staff turned over in the past year, which is higher than the national rate, and weekend coverage dips below what the building manages Monday through Friday. For-profit, LLC-owned, 64 beds in Sanford. The care numbers look steady right now. Whether the team stays long enough to keep them there is the real question to ask on a tour.

Fallbrook Commons runs on more nursing hours than most homes, 4.70 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and that staffing shows up as a five-star rating. Weekend coverage dips about 9% below weekdays, so ask how that plays out on a Saturday. The 26 deficiencies on record include one abuse-related finding, though none rose to harm or jeopardy level, and the last inspection was August 2024. Turnover at 43.8% is slightly better than the 45.8% national figure. As a nonprofit, it has no owner profit motive built into the model. The staffing is the strength here; the inspection record is more ordinary.

Autumn Lake Healthcare at Arcola runs 151 certified beds in Silver Spring under corporate ownership, and the numbers tell a mixed story. Nurse staffing sits at 3.39 hours per resident day, roughly 12 percent under the national average, and weekends dip about 8 percent below what the home staffs on weekdays, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover is the bright spot: 32.2 percent against a national 45.8 percent, meaning aides and nurses here tend to stay longer than average. The current inspection record carries 57 deficiencies, including two at the harm level and six tied to abuse, though the most recent survey was in December 2025. Quality measures score well; staffing and inspections are where the gaps show.

Marley Neck runs about 95 beds in Glen Burnie under corporate ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.43 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 11 percent under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 12 percent below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. What stands out in the other direction is turnover: 20.3 percent against a national average near 46 percent, meaning the aides and nurses here tend to stay. The inspection record is mixed, 54 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, but four tied to abuse, with the most recent inspection in June 2025. Quality measures score well; staffing and inspections are middling.

Future Care Sandtown-Winchester runs leaner on nursing hours than the typical American nursing home, about 3.59 per resident day against a national figure near 3.86, and weekends dip roughly 13% below what the home staffs on weekdays, so a Saturday or Sunday shift is where you'd notice the squeeze most. What stands out in the other direction is retention: turnover of 14.8% is strikingly low against a 45.8% national average, meaning the people caring for residents largely stay put from year to year. The current record lists 38 deficiencies, none rated as causing harm, though four involve abuse. A February 2025 inspection means the picture is recent.

Life Care Center Of Leominster runs 4.02 nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the national average, so direct care time is not the problem here. The catch is weekends, when staffing drops roughly 12% below its own weekday level, that gap matters if your family visits or calls on Saturdays and Sundays. Turnover sits at 42.9%, slightly better than the national figure but still four in ten staff leaving in a year. The current record shows 20 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, though three are abuse-related, which is worth asking about directly. The last inspection was August 2025, so the picture is recent.

John Scott House runs 138 certified beds in Braintree under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nursing hours come in at 3.65 per resident day, roughly 5% under the national average of 3.86, with weekend coverage dipping about 11% below its own weekday levels. Turnover sits at 31.4%, well below the national 45.8%, so the staff who are there tend to stay. The tradeoff shows up in the inspection record: 24 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, though the most recent inspection was April 2025 and CMS rated the health inspection side 4 out of 5.

Ledgewood runs on a corporate for-profit model with 123 beds, and its staffing sits just under the national mark, 3.75 nurse hours per resident day against 3.86. That's close enough that the bigger story is weekends, when coverage drops roughly 11% below the home's own weekday level. Turnover is the genuine bright spot: 24.1% against a national average of 45.8%, meaning the people who care for your family member tend to stay. Fourteen deficiencies are on record with none at harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related and worth asking about directly. The most recent inspection was August 2025, so the picture is current.
