Spanish Hills Wellness Suites runs 144 beds in Las Vegas under individual for-profit ownership, and the staffing numbers are a mixed picture. At 3.59 nurse hours per resident day it sits about 7% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 10% below its own weekday level, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover is the bright spot at 31%, well under the national 45.8%, which suggests less churn than most homes. The current record shows 37 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level but one abuse-related, alongside a 2/5 inspection rating. A recent February 2026 inspection and a 4/5 quality measure score round things out.

Hackett Hill runs a split personality on paper. The clinical numbers look good, a five-star quality measure rating and a four-star staffing score, with turnover at 34.4% against a national average of 45.8%, meaning workers here tend to stick around longer than at the typical home. But the inspection record tells a rougher story: 15 deficiencies on the current record, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, and a one-star health inspection rating. Nurse staffing sits at 3.75 hours per resident day, just under the national 3.86, and weekends run about 15% thinner than weekdays. For-profit corporate ownership, one fine of $8,278, and a recent April 2026 inspection round out the picture.

Mount Carmel runs on 4.08 nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the national average of 3.86, and its staffing rating reflects that. Weekends thin out by roughly 9% compared to weekdays, which is worth knowing if your visits tend to fall on Saturdays or Sundays. The current record shows 10 deficiencies, none at the harm level, though two are abuse-related, ask about those specifically. Staff turnover sits at 43.4%, slightly better than the 45.8% national figure, and the most recent inspection was in July 2025, so the picture is current. As a church-affiliated nonprofit, it answers to a mission rather than shareholders, which tends to show up in how long caregivers stay.

Saint Francis in Laconia runs on about 3.75 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 3% under the national average, and weekends dip about 12% below its own weekday staffing. That's the kind of gap that shows up as slower response times on a Saturday afternoon, not necessarily in a rating. What stands out more is stability: turnover sits at 40.4% against a national 45.8%, and the inspection record is clean, four deficiencies total, none at harm level, none abuse-related, with a survey completed at the end of 2025. For a 51-bed nonprofit home, low turnover and a recent, unremarkable inspection matter more than a few minutes of weekday staffing. Ask about weekend coverage anyway.

Complete Care at Madison runs about 3.6 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 7% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip another 5% below its own weekday numbers, so the leanest coverage shows up exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover sits at 36.1%, better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for whether you see the same faces month to month. The 23 deficiencies on record include none at the harm level and none abuse-related, and the most recent inspection was March 2026, so the 4-star inspection and 5-star quality scores rest on recent findings.

Stratford Manor runs 131 beds in West Orange under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.33 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 14 percent under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 11 percent below the home's own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. Turnover is the bright spot: 22.8 percent against a national 45.8 percent, meaning aides and nurses here tend to stay. The current inspection record shows 23 deficiencies, including one at harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related; the last survey was September 22, 2025. Quality measures score well, but staffing and inspection results are middling, and that mix is what shapes the overall picture.

Complete Care At Orange Park runs 215 certified beds in East Orange under for-profit limited liability ownership, and its last health inspection was in September 2025, so the record is current. The 24 deficiencies on file carry no harm or jeopardy findings and nothing abuse-related. Staffing sits at 3.14 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 19 percent under the national average, and weekends run about 8 percent lighter than weekdays. What offsets that thinness is retention: turnover is 16.8 percent against a national average near 46 percent, meaning the aides and nurses here tend to stay. Fewer hours, but familiar faces delivering them.

Alameda Center for Rehabilitation and Healthcare is a 250-bed for-profit home in Perth Amboy, run by a limited liability company. The staffing numbers are the weak spot: 3.29 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 15% under the national average, with weekends about 11% leaner than weekdays. Turnover sits at 42.5%, slightly better than the 45.8% national figure, so the problem looks more like thin coverage than a churning workforce. Inspections are current, and the 28 deficiencies on record include none at the harm or jeopardy level and none tied to abuse. What you're weighing, then, is a home that scores well on clinical quality measures and adequately on inspections, but asks residents to get by on less daily nursing time than most places provide.

Complete Care At St Vincents runs 151 certified beds in Cedar Grove under for-profit LLC ownership, and its inspection record is genuinely strong, a five-star health inspection rating with nine total deficiencies, just one at the harm level and none tied to abuse, from a survey completed in July 2025. Staffing tells a different story: 3.48 nurse hours per resident day sits about 10 percent under the national average of 3.86, and weekends run roughly 6 percent leaner than weekdays. Turnover of 33.9 percent, though, beats the national 45.8 percent, so the people who are there tend to stay. Weaker staffing marks against strong quality and inspection scores is the tension worth weighing.

Imperial Care Center runs 121 beds in Neptune under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.61 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 6% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 8% below the home's own weekday coverage, so if you're visiting on a Saturday, expect a thinner floor than midweek. The turnover number is the one that stands out: 17.9% against a national average of 45.8%. That kind of stability usually means caregivers who know the residents, and it's rare in this sector. Twelve deficiencies are on record, none at harm level, one abuse-related, worth asking about directly. The last inspection was January 2026, so the picture is current.

Southern Ocean Center runs 3.56 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 8% under the national average, and weekends dip about 7% below its own weekday staffing. Turnover sits at 35%, noticeably better than the 45.8% national figure. The current record shows 32 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, though three are abuse-related, worth asking about directly. Inspectors were last on site in September 2025. Quality measures score 5/5, staffing 4/5, health inspections 3/5. What that adds up to: genuinely strong clinical outcomes and steadier-than-average retention, with room to push staffing hours higher and a paper trail that deserves a hard look before you sign anything.

Staffing at Gardens At Monroe runs about 4% above the national average, and the 20.3% turnover rate is less than half the norm, that kind of stability matters when aides and nurses stick around. Weekend coverage dips roughly 9% below weekdays, worth knowing if your visits fall on Saturdays or Sundays. The current record shows 18 deficiencies, none at the harm level, though three are abuse-related, which is the number I'd ask about directly. The last inspection was April 2025, so the picture is recent. A for-profit individual owner, 136 beds, strong quality scores but a middle-of-the-road inspection history.

Optima Care Castle Hill runs 215 beds in Union City under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits around 3.60 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 7% under the national average, with weekends dropping about 9% below its own weekday levels. Turnover at 42.2% is actually a touch better than the national 45.8%. What stands out is the inspection record: 32 deficiencies, including one at harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, with a $8,281 fine and a visit as recent as March 2025. The quality measure score looks strong on paper, but that inspection history is the number a family should ask about directly.

The Health Center at Bloomingdale runs leaner than most on nursing hours, 3.40 per resident per day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends dip roughly 8% below its own weekday coverage. Turnover sits at 41.6%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure, though still meaning roughly two in five staff leaving in a year. Inspections tell a steadier story: 28 deficiencies on record but none at the harm or jeopardy level, and the last visit was recent, in August 2025. One abuse-related citation is worth asking about directly. The home is corporate-owned and for-profit, with 120 certified beds.

Livia Health and Senior Living runs about 4.63 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 20% above the national average, and its staff turnover of 38.5% actually beats the national 45.8%, meaning workers here tend to stick around longer than at the typical home. The catch is what inspectors have logged. Sixteen deficiencies sit on the current record, two of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, plus one tied to abuse, and a $24,850 fine. CMS gives it strong marks for quality measures and inspections, but that paperwork tells a different story than the staffing numbers alone. Weekend coverage also dips about 6% below weekday levels, so the care you see on a Tuesday may not match a Saturday.

Taos Healthcare runs 2.96 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter below the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 14% below its own weekday staffing. Turnover sits at 33.3%, better than the 45.8% national figure, which suggests some stability in who's actually on the floor. The inspection record is the harder part: 76 deficiencies, five tied to abuse, though none reached harm or jeopardy level, and the last survey was in January 2026. Quality measures score well and inspections land middle of the road. For a 102-bed for-profit, the pattern is decent clinical metrics paired with thin daily coverage. Ask about weekend nurse coverage specifically.

New Carlton runs lean on nursing hours, 3.10 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 9% below its own weekday coverage, which matters most when families visit and fewer eyes are on residents. Turnover is where it separates itself: 21.5% annually, less than half the national rate, meaning the aides and nurses here tend to stay. The record shows 16 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, though three are abuse-related and worth asking about directly. Inspectors last visited in July 2024, and the home is owned by a for-profit LLC. Quality measures score high; staffing and inspections sit in the middle.

Oceanside Care Center runs 100 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its strongest number is staff retention: 24.4% annual turnover against a national average of 45.8% means aides and nurses here tend to stay, which matters for residents who need consistent hands. The weaker spot is raw coverage, 3.69 nurse hours per resident day sits about 4% under the national figure of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 15% below the home's own weekday staffing. The inspection record shows 18 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, one tied to abuse, with the most recent survey dated January 5, 2026.

Martine Center runs 4.21 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 9% above the national average, which is the strongest thing it has going. Weekend staffing drops about 9% below its own weekday level, so coverage thins exactly when families tend to visit. Staff turnover sits at 39.2%, better than the national 45.8%, meaning aides and nurses stick around longer than at a typical home. The tradeoff shows up in inspections: 38 deficiencies on record, including two abuse-related, though none rose to harm or jeopardy level, and the last survey was recent. For-profit LLC ownership, 225 beds. Solid staffing, a middling inspection history.

Bedford Center runs 200 beds in Brooklyn under for-profit LLC ownership, and its last health inspection in March 2025 came back clean on the things that matter most: nine deficiencies logged, none at harm or jeopardy level, none tied to abuse. Nurse staffing sits at 4.08 hours per resident day, roughly 6% above the national average, though weekends run about 7% thinner than weekdays, so ask how that gap gets covered. Annual turnover of 29.4% is well below the national 45.8%, which suggests aides and nurses tend to stay. The tradeoff shows in the staffing star rating, which lags the inspection and quality scores.
