St Mary's Alzheimer's Center runs 90 certified beds in Columbiana under corporate, for-profit ownership. Nurse staffing sits at 3.89 hours per resident day, barely above the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 12% below the home's own weekday levels, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover is the bright spot at 27.4%, well under the national 45.8%, which suggests a steadier crew than most. The inspection record is the concern: eight deficiencies, three at harm or jeopardy level and two abuse-related, with a $66,973 fine and a survey completed March 26, 2026. Strong quality measure scores don't cancel out harm-level findings.

Staff turnover

Kensington At Anna Maria runs 4.48 nurse hours per resident day, about 16 percent above the national average, and its five-star health inspection and quality ratings suggest that staffing shows up where it counts. The caution is in staffing consistency: weekends drop roughly 11 percent below weekday levels, so coverage isn't uniform across the week. Four deficiencies appear on the current record, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, though none are abuse-related, and the most recent inspection was in December 2025. Turnover sits at 42.9 percent, slightly better than the national 45.8 percent. Corporate for-profit ownership, 99 beds, and a solid but not flawless record.

Mill Manor runs a tight ship on inspections and quality measures, but staffing is where the numbers get interesting. At 3.35 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 13% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 9% below its own weekday levels, worth asking about if your family member needs more hands-on help on Saturdays and Sundays. The tradeoff is stability: 17.2% turnover is far below the 45.8% national figure, so the aides and nurses you meet are more likely to still be there next year. Thirteen deficiencies on record, three tied to abuse, but none at the harm or jeopardy level, and the most recent inspection was January 2026.

Mennonite Memorial Home runs on slightly better staffing than most places, about 4.02 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with a four-star staffing rating to match. The catch is weekends, when coverage drops roughly 11% below what the home staffs on weekdays, and turnover sits at 46.8%, a touch above the national rate. Its inspection record shows 29 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, though four are abuse-related, and the most recent inspection was in late 2024. The quality measure rating of four stars suggests the clinical numbers hold up. Church-affiliated nonprofit ownership, 60 beds.

The Orchards of East Liverpool runs 50 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.06 hours per resident day, roughly 5% above the national average, though weekends drop about 9% below what the home staffs on weekdays. Staff turnover is 37.2%, which is actually better than the 45.8% national figure, so the people caring for residents tend to stick around longer than at the typical home. Where it gets murkier is the inspection record: 33 deficiencies on file, including one at the harm level and four tied to abuse. The most recent inspection was December 17, 2025, so that picture is current. Strong quality measures and above-average staffing, weighed against a deficiency count worth asking about directly.

The Lakes of Sylvania runs on 4.01 nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the national average, and its staff turnover of 34.4% sits well below the 45.8% norm, a sign people tend to stay. Weekend coverage dips roughly 10% below weekday levels, worth asking about if your visits fall on Saturdays. Inspectors have logged 17 deficiencies, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, with the most recent visit in February 2026. A five-star inspection and quality record paired with mid-range staffing marks is an unusual mix, but the underlying numbers here are solid.

The Springs of Lima runs 56 certified beds in Allen County under corporate for-profit ownership, and its inspection record is genuinely clean, 19 deficiencies on file, but none at the harm or jeopardy level and nothing abuse-related, with a survey as recent as July 2025. Nurse staffing sits at 3.86 hours per resident day, right at the national average, though weekends drop roughly 15% below what the home staffs on weekdays, which is worth asking about if your family member needs more help on Saturdays and Sundays. Annual turnover of 30.6% is well below the 45.8% national figure, meaning aides and nurses here tend to stay longer than at the typical home.

Rockland Ridge runs leaner than the typical American nursing home, 3.60 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends dropping roughly 14% below its own weekday coverage. What stands out is the stability of the workforce: 26.7% annual turnover is well under the 45.8% national figure, which matters because consistent staff tend to know residents' routines and catch changes early. The home's inspection record is clean where it counts, 7 deficiencies on file but none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with a November 2025 inspection still recent. Corporate-owned and for-profit, it delivers solid outcomes without extra staffing cushion.

Staff turnover

Wagoner Health & Rehab has a staffing story that cuts both ways. The 4.11 nurse hours per resident day tops the national average by about 6%, and weekend coverage barely dips from weekday levels, which matters when families visit and see who's actually on the floor. But 55% annual turnover means more than half the nursing staff leaves every year, well above the 45.8% national figure, so the people providing that care keep changing. The inspection record shows 37 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent survey in April 2025. Quality measures score well; the health inspection side is where this home gives ground.

Covenant Living At Inverness runs a tight ship on paper. The Tulsa nonprofit, 44 beds, holds top CMS marks for health inspections and quality measures, and its six deficiencies carry no harm or jeopardy findings and nothing abuse-related. Last inspection was September 2024. Nurse staffing sits at 3.83 hours per resident day, just under the 3.86 national average, and weekends dip about 8% below weekdays, worth asking about if your family visits Saturdays. Annual turnover of 42.6% edges out the national 45.8%, which is modestly good news for a workforce that usually churns. The weak spot is consistency, not care quality.

Maple Lawn runs 4.34 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 12% above the national average of 3.86, and its staff turnover of 34.9% sits well under the 45.8% national figure, two numbers that tend to matter more day to day than anything else. Weekend coverage dips about 11% below its own weekday level, worth asking about if your family visits Saturdays or Sundays. The inspection record shows eight deficiencies, none at the harm level, though one is abuse-related and should be asked about directly. A 2/5 quality measure rating sits alongside stronger marks for staffing and inspections, so the picture is mixed rather than clean.

Marquis Forest Grove runs a corporate-owned, for-profit home with 63 beds, and the staffing numbers are the strongest thing it has going. At 5.39 nurse hours per resident day, it's about 40% above the national average, and its staff turnover of 34.3% sits well below the 45.8% national figure, that kind of retention usually shows up in how consistently residents see familiar faces. Weekends thin out roughly 10% from weekday coverage. The tradeoff is on the quality side: six deficiencies on record, two serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and the last inspection was April 2026.

Portland Health And Rehabilitation runs a for-profit corporate operation with 105 certified beds, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.68 hours per resident day, roughly 21% above the national average of 3.86. Weekend staffing drops about 13% below its own weekday level, and annual turnover hits 50%, against a national figure of 45.8%. The inspection record is where things get serious: 57 deficiencies, including 2 at harm or jeopardy level and 5 abuse-related, with one fine of $24,827 and a 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating. Quality measures score 4 out of 5 and staffing 4 out of 5, but those inspection numbers, last reviewed February 2026, are what a family should weigh hardest.

Avamere Rehabilitation of Hillsboro runs on a for-profit corporate model with 87 certified beds, and its staffing is the strongest card it holds: 4.97 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 29% above the national average of 3.86, with staff turnover at 33.3% versus the national 45.8%. That consistency matters, though weekend coverage dips about 13% below the home's own weekday level. The trouble sits elsewhere, a 2/5 health inspection rating and 40 deficiencies on the current record, four of them serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, plus three fines totaling $58,800. The most recent inspection was May 2026. Strong hands on deck, but a documented pattern of regulatory problems worth asking about directly.

Carbondale Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center runs 115 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its numbers tell a fairly steady story. Nurse staffing sits at 3.74 hours per resident day, a bit under the national average of 3.86, and weekends run about 7% lighter than weekdays, worth asking about if your family tends to visit Saturday or Sunday. What stands out more is retention: 21.7% annual turnover against a national average of 45.8%, meaning the people caring for residents tend to stick around. The home logged 14 deficiencies on its current record, none at the harm or jeopardy level, though two were abuse-related, a category worth reading closely. Its most recent inspection was March 20, 2026, so the picture is current.

Pocopson Home is county-run, and the staffing numbers show it: 4.53 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 17% above the national average, with a five-star CMS staffing rating and turnover at 31.1% against a national 45.8%. Weekends run about 13% thinner than weekdays, which is worth asking about if your family visits then. The trade-off sits in the inspection record, 4 out of 5 stars, but five deficiencies on file, two at harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, plus two fines totaling $16,036. Quality measures came in at 2 out of 5. Staffing is this home's strength; the safety history is what you'd want to press on directly.

Dr Arthur Clifton Mckinley Ctr runs 90 certified beds as a nonprofit corporation, and its strongest asset is retention: 19.7% annual turnover against a national average of 45.8%. Staff tend to stay. The trade-off is raw coverage, 3.68 nurse hours per resident day sits about 5% under the national 3.86, and weekends dip roughly 5% below the home's own weekday levels, so the thinnest shifts are the ones families visit. Thirteen deficiencies appear on the current record, none at harm or jeopardy level, one abuse-related. Inspectors were last in on December 4, 2025, which is recent enough to trust the findings.

Nurse staffing here runs about 3.42 hours per resident day, roughly 12 percent under the national average, and weekends dip about 6 percent below the home's own weekday level, so the thinnest coverage tends to land when families are most likely to visit. That said, turnover is 28.8 percent against a national average near 46 percent, meaning the aides and nurses you meet are more likely to still be there next year than at the typical home. The current record shows 34 deficiencies, none at the harm level, though two are abuse-related and worth asking about directly. The last inspection was February 2026, so the picture is recent. It's a for-profit limited liability company with 74 beds.

John J. Kane Regional Center-Mc gets its residents more nursing time than most homes nationally, 4.12 hours per resident day against a 3.86 average, and families often notice that on weekdays. Weekends are thinner, though, running about 13% below the home's own weekday staffing. The county-run facility carries 21 deficiencies on its current record, including five at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, plus four fines totaling $59,395. Staff turnover sits at 52.1%, higher than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for anyone who needs consistent caregivers. Its last inspection was November 2024, so the record is recent. Quality measures score well; the inspection side is where the concerns cluster.

Paul's Run runs a tight ship on staffing, with 3.88 nurse hours per resident day, just a hair above the national average of 3.86. That margin is thin, and weekends dip about 6% below the home's own weekday coverage, so care can feel lighter on Saturdays and Sundays. The standout number is turnover: 29% against a national 45.8%, meaning aides and nurses tend to stick around, which matters for residents who value familiar faces. Inspections are current (August 2025), the health inspection rating sits at 4 out of 5, and none of the 15 deficiencies on record rose to harm or jeopardy, though two are abuse-related, worth asking about directly. Nonprofit ownership, 119 beds.
