Cumberland Crossings Retirement Community

Nurse hours

Staff turnover
32%

Cumberland Crossings is a church-affiliated nonprofit in Carlisle with 58 certified beds, and its staffing is the standout: 4.67 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips roughly 12% below its own weekday level, but the bigger picture holds up, annual turnover sits at 31.5% while the national average runs 45.8%, which matters for whether your parent sees the same faces month to month. Inspections are clean where it counts: a 5/5 health inspection rating, eight deficiencies on record, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, with the most recent visit in May 2026. Quality measures rate 3/5, the one lukewarm spot in an otherwise strong record.

Darway Healthcare and Rehabilitation Center in Forksville runs 67 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers tell a fairly steady story. Nurse staffing sits at 3.60 hours per resident day, about 7% under the national average of 3.86, with weekends roughly 5% lighter than weekdays, so coverage thins out a bit when families tend to visit. Where it stands out is retention: 27.6% turnover against a national 45.8% means aides and nurses largely stay put, which matters more for daily care than a single staffing figure. Sixteen deficiencies appear on the current record with none at harm or jeopardy level, though two are abuse-related and worth asking about directly. The last inspection was December 2025.

Artman Lutheran Home sits in Ambler with 61 certified beds and a church-affiliated nonprofit owner. The staffing numbers are the real story here: 5.39 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 40% above the national average, with turnover at 36.8% compared to 45.8% nationally, a workforce that stays longer than most. Weekend coverage dips about 11% below weekday levels, worth asking about if your family visits mainly on Saturdays. Inspections show a 4/5 health rating and 17 total deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, though three are abuse-related and should be asked about directly. The last inspection was May 2026, so the record is recent.

Stoneridge Poplar Run runs 60 certified beds as a nonprofit, and the staffing number is the one that stands out: 6.69 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 73% above the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips about 6% below its own weekday level, so the schedule thins out some but stays well above what most homes provide. The trade-off sits in retention, 53.7% annual turnover against a national 45.8%, meaning a good share of that generous staffing is delivered by people still learning the building. Eleven deficiencies on the current record, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the last inspection dated November 2025.

Concordia At Spiritrust Utz Terrace runs 4.19 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 8% above the national average of 3.86, and that staffing shows up in the weekend numbers too, which dip about 8% below the home's own weekday level rather than falling off a cliff. The current record carries 10 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the last inspection dated May 2026, so the picture is recent and clean where it counts. Turnover sits at 48.9%, a bit above the 45.8% national average, which is worth asking about directly. Forty beds under nonprofit ownership, strong marks across inspection, quality, and staffing stars.

Nhc Healthcare - Laurens runs 176 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its last health inspection came in March 2025. The current record shows six deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy and one tied to abuse, that combination is what weighs down an otherwise strong profile. Staff turnover sits at 18.1%, well under the national 45.8%, so the same caregivers tend to stay. Daily nurse staffing of 3.63 hours per resident is about 6% under the national 3.86, and weekends run roughly 15% lighter than weekdays. The quality and staffing star ratings both hit 5/5; inspections landed at 3/5.

Avera Brady in Mitchell runs a tight ship on the numbers that matter most. Nurse staffing sits at 4.40 hours per resident day, roughly 14% above the national average, and turnover of 43.4% is slightly better than the typical 45.8%, both signs of a stable, adequately staffed floor. The catch: weekend coverage dips about 12% below its own weekday level, so care may thin out on Saturdays and Sundays. Eight deficiencies on record, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the last inspection in April 2026. For a nonprofit home of 84 beds, that's a clean recent record.

King's Grant Lacy Health Center runs on a nonprofit model with 32 certified beds, and the staffing numbers stand out: 5.00 total nurse hours per resident day, roughly 30% above the national average of 3.86. That level of coverage matters most on weekends, and while weekend staffing does dip about 12% below its own weekday level, it stays well above what most homes provide. Staff turnover is 30.6%, noticeably lower than the 45.8% national average, experienced caregivers tend to know residents better. The inspection record is clean: two total deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related, with the last inspection in September 2023. Quality measures rate a middle 3 out of 5, the one area with room to improve.

Our Lady of Perpetual Help is a 30-bed nonprofit home in Virginia Beach, and the staffing numbers are the story here. At 4.15 nurse hours per resident day, it runs about 7% above the national average, and its staff turnover of 32.1% sits well below the 45.8% national rate, that kind of retention matters in a building this small, where one departure is felt. Weekend staffing dips about 6% below its own weekday level, worth asking about if you're planning visits. The inspection record shows 17 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, though three are abuse-related, and the most recent inspection was in June 2025. Worth reading those three closely before deciding.

Queen Anne Healthcare runs on 4.84 nurse hours per resident day, about 25 percent more staffing than the national average, and its turnover sits at 38.2 percent against a national 45.8 percent, both point to a home that keeps people and has enough of them. The trade-off is consistency on weekends, when hours dip roughly 12 percent below the weekday level. A five-star inspection rating with zero deficiencies at the harm or jeopardy level and none tied to abuse, on a record of 30 total, is a clean if not spotless paper trail. The current inspection is recent, dated May 2026, so what you're seeing is close to present-tense.

Regency Omak runs on better-than-average nurse coverage, 4.04 hours per resident day against a national figure of 3.86, and staff tend to stick around, with turnover at 39.1% compared to 45.8% nationally. The weekend dip is worth asking about, though: hours drop roughly 14% from weekday levels, which is when families often notice less attention. The inspection record is where the picture gets more mixed. Nineteen deficiencies are on file, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse, even though the last survey came back in January 2026. A corporation owns the 56-bed building, so ask how those abuse-related findings were resolved and what weekend coverage actually looks like on the floor.

Nurse staffing at Christian Health Care Center runs about 4.83 hours per resident per day, roughly 25% above the national average, and weekend coverage dips only about 15% below its own weekday level, which is modest compared to many homes. Annual turnover sits at 33.3%, well under the national 45.8%. The tradeoff is in the inspection record: 11 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse, plus a single $22,081 fine. The most recent inspection was May 27, 2025, so the picture is current. This is a nonprofit corporation with 122 certified beds in Lynden, and the staffing and quality scores are what carry the grade.

Sunshine Health & Rehab runs on a small 37-bed footprint in Spokane, and the nurse staffing here sits well above what most homes provide, nearly 5 hours per resident day against a national average closer to 3.9. Weekends do thin out by about 19% compared to weekdays, so ask how coverage looks on a Saturday. The inspection record carries 32 deficiencies, one tied to abuse, though none reached the harm or jeopardy level, and the most recent survey was in January 2026, so the picture is current. Quality measures score at the top of CMS's scale, which is notable given that volume of citations.

Wesley Homes Des Moines Health Center runs on noticeably more nursing hours than most homes, 4.79 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and its staff tends to stay, with turnover at 30.8% compared to 45.8% nationally. Weekend coverage dips about 11% below its own weekday level, so ask how that plays out on a Sunday. The inspection record shows 52 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, though three are abuse-related and worth asking about directly. A February 2026 inspection means the record is recent, and as a church-affiliated nonprofit, there's no ownership chain pulling profits out. The quality measures come in strong.

Nurse staffing runs 4.05 hours per resident day, about 5% above the national average, and turnover at 31% is well below the 45.8% national figure, that kind of retention matters for consistent care. But weekends dip roughly 12% below the home's own weekday coverage, so ask how that gap gets filled. The inspection record shows 27 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, plus a $44,753 fine. Last inspection was February 2026, so the record is current. Solid quality measures and staffing don't erase those citations.

Deerfield Care Center runs on unusually steady staffing for a 50-bed nonprofit home in St. Croix County. Nurses provide about 4.12 hours of care per resident each day, roughly 7% above the national average, and the staff turnover rate of 20.4% is less than half the national figure of 45.8%, meaning the people caring for residents tend to stick around. The tradeoff shows up in its inspection record: 13 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, but one abuse-related citation, with the most recent inspection in February 2026. Weekend staffing dips about 9% below weekday levels, so family visits on Saturdays and Sundays may find a thinner crew than midweek.

Weekend coverage dips only slightly, about 4 percent below weekdays, so care doesn't thin out much when families visit. The tradeoff is turnover: 63.9 percent of staff leave annually, well above the 45.8 percent national figure, which matters for residents who value seeing the same faces. Nine deficiencies sit on the current record, none at harm or jeopardy level, though three are abuse-related, worth asking about directly.

Oakridge Gardens runs a for-profit operation in Menasha with 106 certified beds, and its nurse staffing sits well above average, 5.46 hours per resident day against a national figure of 3.86. That margin matters, though weekends dip about 14% below what the home staffs during the week, so coverage isn't perfectly even. Staff turnover lands at 50.9%, a bit higher than the 45.8% national rate, which suggests some churn even with the strong hours. Inspectors logged 21 deficiencies on the current record, three tied to abuse, none at the harm or jeopardy level, and the most recent visit was May 2025. The limited liability ownership structure means the company behind the building, not a public entity, holds the license.

Staff turnover sits at 37%, better than the 45.8% national figure. The inspection record is recent, April 2026, with 12 deficiencies and none at the harm or jeopardy level, though three are abuse-related and deserve a direct question.
