Crandall Nursing Home runs on more nursing hours than most places, 4.61 per resident per day against a national average of 3.86, roughly 19% higher. That staffing edge holds up in the turnover figure too: 34.1% annual turnover versus 45.8% nationally, meaning fewer unfamiliar faces from one month to the next. The tradeoff sits in the inspection record. Twelve deficiencies are on file, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, even though the last inspection was recent, in March 2026. Weekend coverage also drops about 21% below the home's own weekday level, which matters if your family visits on Saturdays and Sundays. Nonprofit ownership; four stars each for health inspections, quality measures, and staffing.

Carroll Healthcare Center runs on better-than-average nurse coverage, 3.93 hours per resident day against a national 3.86, and its staff tends to stick around, with turnover at 34.9% versus 45.8% nationally. The tradeoff shows up in its record: 12 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one tied to abuse, which is the kind of finding worth asking about directly. Inspectors were last in on May 8, 2025, so the picture is current. Weekend staffing drops roughly 16% below weekday levels, meaning care can thin out on Saturdays and Sundays. For-profit corporate ownership. The strong staffing numbers are real, but they're not the whole story.

Shepherd Of The Valley Howland runs on 4.29 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 11% more than the national average, and its 4/5 staffing rating backs that up. Weekend coverage dips about 15% below weekday levels, so ask how that plays out on a Saturday. Turnover sits at 32.1% against a national 45.8%, which matters for whether you see the same faces. Eleven deficiencies are on record, none at harm or jeopardy level, though two are abuse-related, worth asking about directly. The last inspection was June 2025, and with 4/5 ratings on health inspections and quality measures, this nonprofit's numbers hold up better than most.

Park Village runs one of the smaller operations you'll find, just 40 certified beds in New Philadelphia, and it's owned by a for-profit limited liability company. The numbers that matter most here look good: nurse staffing sits at 4.21 hours per resident day, roughly 9% above the national average, and the inspection history is clean at the top level, 20 deficiencies on record, none of them causing harm or jeopardy, though two are abuse-related and worth asking about directly. Staff turnover is 30.9%, well below the 45.8% national figure, which suggests people stick around. One caveat: weekend staffing drops about 15% from weekday levels, so ask how that plays out on Saturdays and Sundays.

Regency Redmond runs a 50-bed for-profit home in Deschutes County, and the raw staffing number stands out: 5.72 nurse hours per resident day, roughly half again the national average. Weekend coverage drops about 18% from its own weekday level, so the strong average softens on Saturdays and Sundays. Turnover sits at 55.6%, about ten points above the national rate, meaning the people delivering that care are cycling through faster than usual. The current inspection record carries 30 deficiencies, including two at harm or jeopardy level and four related to abuse, with the most recent inspection dated January 16, 2026.

Nhc Healthcare - Parklane runs on 4.97 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 29% more than the national average, and its staff turnover sits at 37.7% against a national 45.8%. Those two numbers explain most of what the federal ratings reflect: 4 out of 5 stars for staffing, 5 out of 5 on health inspections, 4 out of 5 on quality measures. The ten deficiencies on record include nothing at the harm or jeopardy level and nothing abuse-related, and the file was last inspected in February 2026, so the picture is current. Weekend coverage does dip about 19% below weekday levels, which is worth asking about directly.

Avamere Rehabilitation of Shoreline runs 4.47 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 16% above the national average, so staffing is the strongest part of the picture here. Weekend coverage, though, drops about 18% below its own weekday level, and turnover sits at 42.6%, slightly better than the 45.8% national figure. What pulls the record down is the inspection side: a 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating and 92 deficiencies on the current record, 14 of them abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in May 2025. None were cited at the harm or jeopardy level. The 5-of-5 quality measure rating contrasts sharply with that inspection history.

Martha and Mary Health Service in Poulsbo runs on a nonprofit model with 135 certified beds, and the staffing numbers are its clearest strength: 4.77 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 23 percent above the national average. Weekend coverage drops about 15 percent from weekday levels, a gap worth asking about if your family visits on Saturdays or Sundays. Staff turnover sits at 35.9 percent, better than the 45.8 percent national figure, which suggests people tend to stay. The tradeoff shows up in inspections: 46 deficiencies on the current record, two tied to abuse, though none rose to actual harm or jeopardy. The most recent inspection was February 2026, so the picture is current. Strong quality scores and staffing carry real weight here; the deficiency history is what holds it back.

Alhambra Post Acute sits in Martinez with 44 certified beds and a for-profit corporate owner. The nurse staffing number is the strongest part of the picture: 4.32 hours per resident day, roughly 12% above the national average, and turnover at 36% beats the 45.8% national figure, meaning fewer caregivers are cycling out the door. The catch is weekends, when staffing drops about 16% below the home's own weekday level, so coverage isn't uniform across the week. Inspections paint a mixed picture: 53 deficiencies on record, none at the harm level but one abuse-related, with the most recent visit in November 2024. Quality measures score well even as the inspection history carries real weight against it.

Guam Memorial Hospital Authority runs 40 certified beds as a government-owned home, and its nurse staffing is the standout fact here, 7.72 hours per resident day, roughly double the national average, with weekend coverage dipping only about 9% below weekdays. Turnover sits at 15.6%, well under the 45.8% national figure, so the people providing that care tend to stay. The inspection record tells a different story: 52 deficiencies on file, including one at harm or jeopardy level and five tied to abuse, with a single $13,247 fine and a most recent inspection in August 2025. Staffing like this is rare; a deficiency count like that isn't easy to overlook either.

Whispering Oaks runs on more nursing hours than the typical American home, about 4.06 per resident per day, roughly 5% above the national figure, and its staff turnover of 36.6% is notably better than the 45.8% norm, which matters for continuity of care. The tradeoffs are thinner weekend coverage, about 15% below its own weekday level, and a deficiency record of 27 findings, one of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy. Inspectors were last on site in July 2025. This is a for-profit LLC with a decent recent inspection history but a real pile of past citations to weigh.

The Center at Zaragoza runs 4.79 nursing hours per resident per day, about a quarter more than the national average, which is the number that matters most when you're weighing care. Weekend staffing drops roughly 16% from weekday levels, so ask how that plays out on Saturdays and Sundays. Turnover sits at 44.7%, essentially at the national average, and the home has 31 deficiencies on record, none at harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related. Its last inspection was July 2025, so the picture is current. Quality measures score 5/5 and inspections 3/5 under a for-profit corporate owner.

Highlands Health And Rehab is county-owned, which is unusual, most nursing homes in Alabama are for-profit, and the numbers here mostly back it up. Nurse staffing runs at 4.80 hours per resident day, about 24% above the national average of 3.86, and that coverage holds together on weekends, dropping roughly 20% from weekday levels rather than falling off a cliff. The current record shows six deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, from an inspection last dated March 2022. With 50 certified beds, this is a small home, and one thing worth asking about directly: that inspection is now more than three years old, so the record may not reflect how things stand today.

Athens Health and Rehabilitation runs 149 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its numbers mostly hold up. Nurse staffing sits at 3.86 hours per resident day, right at the national average, though weekends run about 13% lighter than weekdays, worth asking about if your family member needs more help on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover is 43.7%, slightly better than the 45.8% national figure, which suggests less churn than many homes. The inspection record shows 10 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, but one is abuse-related, and the last full inspection was in April 2022, so that record is aging. Four and five stars on inspections, quality measures, and staffing back up the grade.

The Pine Of Camden runs on unusually stable ground. Nurse staffing sits at 4.68 hours per resident day, roughly a fifth above the national average, and the staff star rating bears that out. Just as telling: turnover is 19.4% against a national average of 45.8%, so the people caring for residents tend to stay. The current record shows a single deficiency, none at harm level and none abuse-related, with a clean five-star inspection rating behind it. Two things temper that. The last inspection was March 2021, so the record is aging, and quality measures score 2 out of 5, the clinical numbers families watch don't match the staffing picture. Weekend coverage also dips about 13% below weekdays, worth asking about directly.

Anniston Health And Rehab runs a nonprofit home of 85 beds, and its strongest asset is the people on the floor: 4.23 nursing hours per resident day, roughly 9% above the national average, with weekend coverage dipping about 14% below weekdays. Staff turnover sits at 37.4%, better than the 45.8% national figure but still meaning more than a third of the workforce turning over annually. The current record shows four deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, though the last inspection was in December 2021, so that picture is getting old. Inspection and quality measures both land mid-range, which fits a home that's well-staffed but not recently scrutinized.

Tlc Nursing Center runs 103 certified beds in Oneonta under for-profit, limited-liability ownership, and the numbers that stand out most are about its workforce. Total nurse staffing sits at 3.79 hours per resident day, a hair under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 9% below the home's own weekday coverage. What offsets that is retention: turnover is 23.1%, notably lower than the 45.8% national figure, so residents likely see familiar faces. The inspection record shows 8 deficiencies, none rated at harm or jeopardy, though 2 are abuse-related, worth asking about directly. Its most recent inspection was April 2026, so the picture is current.

Ketchikan Med Ctr New Horizons runs 29 certified beds as a nonprofit, and its nurse staffing sits at 6.79 hours per resident day, roughly 76% above the national average of 3.86. That's a real margin, though weekend coverage drops about 13% below its own weekday level, and annual turnover of 50% runs slightly above the national 45.8%. The health inspection side is where it gets harder to read: a 1/5 star rating, 17 deficiencies on the current record, four of them abuse-related, and none flagged at harm or jeopardy level. The last inspection was April 9, 2026. Quality measures score 3/5 and staffing 4/5, so the numbers don't point the same direction.

Christian Care Nursing Center is a small nonprofit home in Phoenix, just 20 certified beds, with nurse staffing at 8.40 hours per resident day, roughly double the national average of 3.86. That's an unusual number, and it shows up in the weekend figures too: coverage drops about 16% below its own weekday level, so the cushion narrows even if it stays comfortable. The home's record carries 9 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, and its last inspection was in August 2025. All three CMS star categories, health inspections, quality measures, and staffing, sit at 4 out of 5. For a family weighing a place this size, the staffing margin and the clean harm record are the parts worth asking about directly.

The Green House Cottages Of Belle Meade runs 5.08 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a third more than the national average of 3.86, and its weekend staffing holds within about 12% of weekday levels, both real strengths for a 167-bed home. Turnover sits at 45.2%, essentially matching the national rate. What pulls it down is the inspection record: 21 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, plus a $13,870 fine and a two-star health inspection rating, even though quality measures scored five stars. That gap between daily care numbers and the survey history is the whole story here.
