Staff turnover
34%
Serious cites
0

Teresian House runs 302 beds as a nonprofit, and its staffing sits just a hair above the national average at 3.88 nurse hours per resident day. That margin is thin, and weekends dip about 8% below its own weekday coverage, so ask how that gap gets filled. Turnover of 33.5% is notably better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for consistency of care. The inspection record is the weaker side: a 2/5 health inspection rating, 26 deficiencies, including one at harm or jeopardy level and three abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in November 2024. Quality measures scored 5/5, staffing 4/5, the day-to-day care looks stronger than the paperwork history.

Lutheran Center At Poughkeepsie runs 4.06 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 5% above the national average, and its 31.9% turnover is well below the 45.8% typical elsewhere, that stability matters when you're thinking about who's actually at the bedside. Weekends thin out about 9% against weekday coverage, so ask how that plays out on a Sunday. The harder reading is the inspection record: 23 deficiencies, including 2 at harm or jeopardy level and 4 tied to abuse, with the last inspection in February 2024. Quality measures look strong and staffing holds up, but you'll want to ask directly what changed since that inspection.

Nurse hours

Staff turnover
27%
Serious cites
0

Wesley Pines runs a leaner operation than most: 4.17 nurse hours per resident day against a national average near 3.86, and weekend staffing that dips only about 9% below weekdays. Staff turnover sits at 26.6%, well under the national 45.8%, a real advantage in a county where finding and keeping nurses is hard. The trade-offs show up elsewhere. Nine deficiencies are on file, two tied to abuse, though none rose to the level of documented harm or jeopardy, and the last inspection was recent, in January 2026. Quality measures score at the top of CMS's scale, which is worth noticing for a corporation-owned home of this size.

Parkview Health and Rehabilitation Center runs 108 certified beds in Chapel Hill under for-profit LLC ownership, and its inspection record is genuinely strong, a five-star health inspection rating, only four deficiencies on the current record, and none of them at the harm or jeopardy level. The caveat sits in the day-to-day staffing. At 3.70 nurse hours per resident day, this home runs about 4% under the national average, and weekends dip roughly 8% below its own weekday level, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover is the bright spot at 31.8% against a national 45.8%, meaning the staff who are there tend to stay.

Good Samaritan Society Augusta Place runs a tight ship on staffing. Nurses give residents 4.43 hours of care per day, about 15 percent more than the national average, and only 22.4 percent of staff left last year, roughly half the national turnover rate. That combination of low turnover and high hours is rare, and it's the main reason this home rates as well as it does. The tradeoffs show up elsewhere: 13 deficiencies on the current record, two of them serious enough to put residents at risk of harm, plus $16,036 in fines. Weekend staffing also drops about 12 percent below weekday levels. Inspectors last visited in February 2026, so the record is recent.

Staff turnover
52%
Serious cites
0

Lutheran Home runs about 5.37 nurse hours per resident each day, roughly 39% above the national average, that's a real cushion, and it's the number driving the grade here. The catch is turnover: 51.6% of staff left over the year, higher than the 45.8% national rate, and weekend coverage dips about 5% below weekdays. Inspections show 15 deficiencies on record, none rising to harm or jeopardy, though three are abuse-related. The last full inspection was August 2023, so the picture is more than a year old. This is a well-staffed nonprofit with steady quality marks and enough staff to absorb some churn, worth a visit, with questions ready about weekend coverage and that abuse history.

First Community Village in Columbus runs a nonprofit home with 47 beds, and its nurse staffing sits well above what most homes manage, about 5.06 hours per resident day against a national average near 3.86. That's a real edge, though weekends dip roughly 8% below its own weekday coverage, and turnover runs 51%, a bit above the 45.8% national figure. The tradeoff shows up in its record: 26 deficiencies, two of them at harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, plus one fine of $17,610. Its last inspection was June 2025. Quality measures score high; the inspection history is where the caution lives.

Worthington, OH · Franklin County

CMS 4/5 95 beds For-profit Medicaid
Nurse hours

Staff turnover
26%
Serious cites
0

The Laurels of Worthington runs 95 beds under corporate ownership, and its nursing hours come in around 12 percent under the national average, with weekends thinner still. That gap matters most on Saturdays and Sundays, when fewer hands are on the floor. Turnover is the bright spot: 25.7 percent against a national average near 46 percent, so the staff who are there tend to stay. The inspection record shows 31 deficiencies, none at the level of harm or immediate jeopardy, though one is abuse-related. State surveyors last visited in November 2024. Quality measures score well, which suggests residents' clinical outcomes hold up despite the leaner daily staffing.

Serious cites

Brookhaven runs a tight operation. Nurse staffing sits at 3.92 hours per resident day, just above the national mark, and the 29.9% turnover rate is far better than the 45.8% typical nationwide, that stability matters more than a single good week of coverage, though weekend hours do run about 11% under weekday levels. The inspection record backs it up: 14 deficiencies on file, none at the harm level, none abuse-related, with the most recent survey completed in April 2026. For-profit individual ownership doesn't guarantee anything either way, but the numbers here suggest a home that mostly does what it says.

Staff turnover
32%
Serious cites
0

Staffing at Willows At Willard runs a little under four hours of nurse time per resident each day, roughly 4% below the national average, with weekends dipping another 2% below its own weekday pattern. The bigger number is turnover: 32.4% against a national average of 45.8%, which suggests people stay here longer than they do at most homes. State inspectors have cited 13 deficiencies, none reaching harm or jeopardy and none tied to abuse, and the most recent inspection was in April 2026. A for-profit corporation owns the 69-bed building, and quality measures score well above average.

Union City Care Center runs 43 beds as a for-profit corporation, and its strongest numbers are in outcomes: a 4-out-of-5 health inspection rating, 5 out of 5 on quality measures, and staff turnover at 30%, well under the 45.8% national average. What pulls it down is daily staffing. At 3.32 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 14% below the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip roughly 5% below its own weekday level. The 20 cited deficiencies include none at the harm or jeopardy level, though 5 are abuse-related. Its last inspection was April 13, 2023.

Parkvue Health Care Center runs about 4.27 nursing hours per resident day, roughly 11% above the national average, which is the number that matters most for day-to-day care. Weekend staffing dips about 9% below its own weekday level, though, and annual turnover sits at 54.4% against a national 45.8%, so the care is there on paper, with more churn behind it than average. Inspections back that up: a 4/5 health inspection rating, 16 deficiencies on record but none at the harm level and none abuse-related, and a recent March 2026 survey. For-profit corporate ownership, 84 beds. Solid, not spotless.

Brethren Care Village runs 79 certified beds as a nonprofit, and the numbers suggest a home that's been stable for a while. Nurse staffing sits at 4.78 hours per resident day, roughly a quarter above the national average, though weekends dip about 8% below its own weekday level, worth asking about if your family visits or calls on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover is 36.2% against a national average near 46%, which matters because consistent caregivers learn residents' routines. Its twelve deficiencies include none at the harm level and none abuse-related, and the last inspection was in September 2022, so that record is getting older and could shift at the next survey.

Mount Notre Dame Health Center runs on 5.42 total nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 40% above the national average of 3.86, a real cushion given it's a 40-bed home. Weekend staffing dips about 10% below its own weekday level, so the weekday coverage is stronger than Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover sits at 40.6%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters in a small building where one departure is felt. The inspection record is clean where it counts: three deficiencies total, none at harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related, and the last visit was November 2024. Church-affiliated nonprofit ownership rounds out the picture.

Oak Pointe runs lean on nursing hours, 3.60 per resident day, roughly 7 percent under the national average, and weekends dip about 10 percent below its own weekday staffing. So the daily coverage isn't generous, and it thins out further on Saturdays and Sundays. What stands out is retention: 9.1 percent annual turnover against a national average near 46 percent means the same caregivers are largely still there year to year, which matters more for consistency of care than a fraction of an hour on paper. The record backs that up, 11 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related, a 5-star inspection rating, and a May 2025 survey that isn't stale.

Walnut Hills runs on more nursing hours than most homes, 4.71 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends dip only about 9% below its own weekday pace, which is a smaller drop than many places manage. The trade-off shows up in turnover: 52.1% of staff left over the year, higher than the 45.8% national figure, so the people delivering that care keep changing. Its inspection record carries 36 deficiencies, none at the harm level but two tied to abuse, with the last survey in November 2024. Church-affiliated nonprofit ownership and a 5/5 quality measure rating round out the picture.

Otterbein Middletown runs about 4.19 nurse hours per resident each day, roughly 9% above the national average, and its staff turnover sits at 28% against a national 45.8%, that retention matters more than any single number here. The church-affiliated nonprofit carries 19 deficiencies on its current record, but none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, and its last inspection was January 8, 2026. Weekend staffing dips about 6% below its own weekday level, worth asking about if your family visits mainly on Saturdays or Sundays.

Cypress Pointe runs about 4.43 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 15% above the national average, and its staff turnover sits at 31.3% against a national 45.8%, that retention matters more than any single inspection score, since it means the people caring for your relative tend to stick around. Weekends run about 10% leaner than weekdays, so if you visit on a Saturday, expect a slightly thinner crew. The home carries 10 deficiencies, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, but nothing abuse-related, and its last inspection was recent. Corporate for-profit ownership, 70 beds.

Glisan Post Acute runs a for-profit operation with 100 certified beds, and the staffing numbers are the first thing that jumps out: 4.74 nurse hours per resident day, about 23% above the national average. That's genuinely good, though weekend coverage dips roughly 12% below weekday levels, so care can thin out when families visit. Turnover sits at 48.1%, a bit above the national 45.8%, which means the faces around your relative may change often. The bigger concern is the inspection record: 34 deficiencies, three at harm or jeopardy level, and a two-star health inspection rating, even with a recent March 2026 visit.

Creekside runs about 4.88 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly a quarter more staffing than the national average, and its inspection record shows nine deficiencies with none rising to harm or jeopardy and nothing abuse-related. Weekend coverage drops about 12% from weekday levels, which is common but worth asking about if your family visits Saturdays. Staff turnover sits at 48.1%, slightly above the national 45.8%, high, though close to typical for the industry. The last inspection was May 2026, so the record is recent. Corporate for-profit ownership is the main thing to weigh against those otherwise solid numbers.
