Arkansas Health Center is state-run and large, with 290 certified beds in Benton. Its nurse staffing sits at 6.14 hours per resident day, roughly 59% above the national average, and it holds five stars in both staffing and health inspections, with eleven deficiencies on record and none at the harm or jeopardy level. Turnover runs 38.8%, better than the 45.8% national figure but still meaning more than a third of staff leaving each year. The catch is weekends, when hours drop about 15% below the weekday level. With a May 2025 inspection and no abuse citations, the record is clean and recent. Families should ask how weekend coverage is actually staffed, because that gap is where the risk usually lives.

Hazel Hawkins runs on a hospital district's budget, and the numbers show where the money goes: nurse staffing at 4.31 hours per resident per day, about 12% above the national average, with a 5-star staffing rating to match. Turnover sits at 13.3% against a national average of 45.8%, that kind of retention is rare and usually means residents see the same faces. The catch is weekends, when coverage drops roughly 15% below the home's own weekday level. Inspections turned up 28 deficiencies, one abuse-related, though none at the harm or jeopardy level, and the last visit was September 2025.

Nurse staffing at Helen Bernardy Center runs about 7.89 hours per resident day, roughly double the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip only about 7 percent below its own weekday levels, so coverage stays fairly steady rather than thinning out when families tend to visit. The health inspection record shows 13 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection dated March 2026. It's a government hospital-district home with 43 certified beds, and its quality measure and health inspection ratings both sit at the top of CMS's scale. The staffing rating is one notch lower, which is worth asking about directly if you tour.

Waterbury Center runs on a for-profit partnership model with 120 certified beds, and the numbers tell a mixed story. Nurse staffing sits at 3.88 hours per resident day, just barely above the national average, but weekends drop about 19% below weekday levels, which is where gaps tend to show up. Turnover at 30.2% is notably better than the 45.8% national figure, suggesting a more stable workforce than most. On inspections, the home holds a 4-star rating with 32 deficiencies on record, none rising to harm or jeopardy, though 5 are abuse-related. The last inspection was December 2024, so the picture is recent.

Meadows Park runs on a nonprofit model in Vidalia, and the numbers mostly hold up. Nurse staffing sits at 3.92 hours per resident day, just a hair above the national average of 3.86, but the real story is who stays: turnover is 27.6% against a national average of 45.8%, so the aides and nurses here tend to stick around. Weekend coverage does dip about 20% below weekday levels, which is worth asking about if your family visits on Saturdays or Sundays. Four deficiencies on record, none involving harm or abuse, and the last inspection was May 2025.

Georgia Regional Atlanta Ltc runs on state government ownership in Decatur, and its nurse staffing sits at 5.15 hours per resident day, roughly a third above the national average of 3.86. That said, weekends drop about 15% below its own weekday coverage, so care can thin out when families visit. The current record shows 10 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, though none involve abuse. Inspectors were last on site September 18, 2025. Its quality measure rating is perfect at 5/5 while health inspections land at 2/5, a split worth asking about directly.

Good Samaritan - Villisca runs 46 beds as a nonprofit, and its staff turnover of 32.4% sits well below the national average of 45.8%, that kind of retention matters when you're relying on the same people to notice changes in a resident's condition. Nurse staffing, though, is 3.43 hours per resident day, roughly 11% under the national average, and weekends run about 18% lighter than weekdays, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. The current inspection record carries 18 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and two related to abuse, with the last inspection dated January 29, 2026.

St. Luke's Regional Medical Center SNF is a 20-bed nonprofit unit in Sioux City, and the staffing numbers are the first thing that stand out. At 10.85 nurse hours per resident day, it runs far above the national average of 3.86, that's not a rounding difference, it's a different model of care. Weekend staffing dips about 7% below its own weekday level, worth knowing if you'll be visiting Saturdays and Sundays. On the regulatory side, the record is clean where it counts: three deficiencies total, none at the harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related, and the last inspection was July 2025. Ownership changed within the past year, so ask how that's affected day-to-day operations.

Regent Park runs on more nursing hours than most homes, 4.70 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and its inspection record backs that up, with a five-star health inspection rating and a recent survey in February 2026 that turned up no deficiencies causing harm or jeopardy, and none related to abuse. The 15 deficiencies on file are the ordinary kind, not the alarming kind. Weekend staffing dips about 15% below its own weekday level, and turnover sits at 48.9%, a bit above the national 45.8%, so consistency of caregivers is worth asking about directly.

Cumbernauld Village runs on 5.81 nurse hours per resident day, roughly half again the national figure of 3.86, and weekends dip only about 15% below its own weekday coverage, smaller than what many homes show. The nonprofit's 42.6% turnover sits slightly under the 45.8% national rate, and its last inspection, in April 2026, produced 10 deficiencies with none at harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related. A five-star health inspection and five-star staffing rating carry the record; the three-star quality measure rating and that abuse citation are the parts worth asking about directly before you decide.

Mission Point in Big Rapids runs 78 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.73 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 3% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends are thinner still, about 19% below the home's own weekday coverage, so a Saturday or Sunday visit may feel different from a Tuesday. Turnover is the bright spot: 29% against a national 45.8%, meaning the people caring for residents tend to stick around. Inspections are recent, July 2025, with 25 deficiencies on record but none at harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related. Its quality measure rating is 5/5 while health inspection sits at 3/5.

Medilodge Of Rogers City runs 90 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.71 hours per resident day, about 4% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends are the bigger gap: staffing drops roughly 18% below what the home runs on weekdays, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover is 39.2%, which is actually better than the 45.8% national figure, and CMS gives the home 5 stars for staffing and 4 for quality measures. The caution sits in the inspection record: 15 deficiencies, including 1 at the harm or jeopardy level and 2 tied to abuse, with the most recent inspection in May 2025.

Medilodge of Green View runs 39 beds in Alpena under corporate for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.43 hours per resident day, roughly 15% above the national average. That helps explain the top staffing rating, though weekend coverage drops about 23% below the home's own weekday levels, so care may feel thinner on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover is 45%, essentially matching the national rate. The current record shows 10 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related citation; the most recent inspection was July 31, 2025.

Medilodge of Okemos runs on 4.24 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 10% above the national average, and that staffing holds up across all three CMS ratings at 4 out of 5. The caveat is the weekend: coverage drops about 17% below what the building runs Monday through Friday, so a Saturday fall gets a thinner response than a Tuesday one. Turnover sits at 41.1%, better than the 45.8% national figure but still meaning two in five caregivers were new within the year. The 22 deficiencies on record include one abuse-related citation, though none rose to harm or jeopardy. The last inspection was September 2025.

Bishop Noa Home runs on strong staffing for a nonprofit in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, 5.05 nurse hours per resident day, about a third more than the national average, though weekends dip roughly 12% below its own weekday pace. The tradeoff sits in its inspection history: 23 deficiencies on record, including two tied to abuse, none rising to actual harm or jeopardy. Inspectors were last in on April 29, 2026, so the record is current rather than stale. CMS gives it middle marks for health inspections and better ones for quality measures and staffing. What you're weighing is a well-staffed building with a longer-than-ideal citation list, not a clean slate.

Milaca Elim Meadows runs on a nonprofit model with 70 certified beds, and its staffing sits at 4.50 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 17 percent above the national average of 3.86. That margin matters most on weekends, where hours dip about 11 percent below the home's own weekday pace, so ask how weekend coverage actually looks on the days your family visits. The inspection record shows 11 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none tied to abuse, with the most recent survey completed in December 2025. Quality measures score at the top of CMS's scale, while inspections and staffing each land one notch below.

The Episcopal Church Home of Minnesota has an unusual split in its record: 5.43 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 41 percent above the national average, and a staffing rating to match. Quality measures also score well. The problem is inspections, 36 deficiencies on the current record, including three at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse. That combination of strong daily staffing with serious inspection findings is worth asking about directly. Weekend coverage runs about 10 percent thinner than weekdays, so care may look different on a Saturday. Nonprofit ownership doesn't erase the pattern in those deficiency counts.

Good Samaritan Society - Jackson runs on 4.07 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 5% above the national average, and that staffing shows up in a 30.8% turnover rate, well under the 45.8% national figure, which matters because stable caregivers know the residents. Weekends are the soft spot: staffing drops about 17% below its own weekday level, so coverage isn't evenly spread across the week. The current record carries 15 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related and worth asking about directly. Inspections are recent, from September 2024, so the picture reflects how the home operates now.

Essentia Health Virginia Care Cent runs 40 certified beds as a nonprofit, and its nurse staffing sits at 5.08 hours per resident day, roughly 32% above the national average of 3.86. That's the number driving its staffing star rating of 5/5, though weekend coverage drops about 18% below its own weekday level, so the daily experience can vary. Staff turnover is 40.7%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure. The home carries 9 deficiencies on its current record with none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, and it was last inspected March 26, 2026. Inspection rating is 4/5, quality measures 3/5.

Barrett Care Center runs on 4.99 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 29% above the national average, which is the main reason its staffing rating sits at the top of CMS's scale. Weekend coverage drops about 17% from weekday levels, so ask how that plays out on Saturdays and Sundays. The inspection record is clean where it matters: four deficiencies total, none causing harm or jeopardy, none tied to abuse, with the most recent survey in June 2025. Staff turnover at 39.2% is better than the 45.8% national figure, no small thing in a 40-bed rural home. Corporate for-profit ownership, average quality measures, strong staffing, and recent inspections, that combination is what's behind the grade.
