Odebolt Specialty Care

Odebolt, IA · Sac County

CMS 3/5 38 beds Non-profit Medicaid
Nurse hours
3.73 /day
Staff turnover
31%
Serious cites
0

Odebolt Specialty Care is a small nonprofit home, 38 beds, and its staffing picture is genuinely strong: 3.73 nurse hours per resident day, close to the national average, with weekend coverage running about 9% lighter than weekdays. Turnover sits at 31%, well below the 45.8% national figure, which matters for how well aides know the residents. The trouble is the inspection record: 20 deficiencies, three of them serious enough to put residents at risk of harm, and one fine of $14,433. The most recent inspection was March 12, 2026. Consistent hands, a thinner record on safety.

Bloomfield Care Center runs 91 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and the numbers here mostly hold up. Nurse staffing sits at 3.96 hours per resident day, a bit above the national average, and turnover of 31.8% is well below the 45.8% norm, that stability matters more than people realize. Weekend coverage does dip roughly 10% below weekday levels, so ask how that plays out on Saturdays. Nine deficiencies on record, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with a November 2025 inspection that's still recent. Quality measures land mid-range, inspections and staffing both stronger. Worth a visit, with questions about weekend shifts.

Sheffield Care Center

CMS 2/5 45 beds Non-profit Medicaid
Nurse hours

Staff turnover
36%
Serious cites
0

Sheffield Care Center runs 45 certified beds as a nonprofit corporation, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.79 hours per resident day, just under the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop about 11% below what the home staffs on weekdays, so coverage thins out when families tend to visit. Turnover is 36.1%, better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for consistency of care. The tradeoff shows up in inspections: a 2-out-of-5 health inspection rating, 14 deficiencies on record including 2 abuse-related, and three fines totaling $17,644. The most recent inspection was August 2025. Quality and staffing measures both rate 4 out of 5, so the clinical picture looks steadier than the survey history does.

Nurse hours

Accura Healthcare of Bancroft runs about 4.61 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 19% above the national figure, and that staffing shows up in the numbers CMS cares about. Weekend coverage dips about 12% below weekday levels, so ask how that plays out on Saturdays. Staff turnover sits at 39.3%, better than the 45.8% national rate, which matters in a 25-bed home where residents know their caregivers by name. The current record shows seven deficiencies, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, with the last inspection in June 2025. Quality measure scores come in at 2 out of 5, the weakest part of the picture.

Accura Healthcare of Aurelia runs 41 certified beds under for-profit, limited-liability ownership in Cherokee County. Nurse staffing sits at 3.79 hours per resident day, slightly under the national average of 3.86, and weekends run about 11% thinner than weekdays, worth knowing if your family visits mainly on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover is 37.8%, actually better than the 45.8% national figure, which suggests less churn than many peers. The current inspection record shows 14 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse; the most recent inspection was January 29, 2026, so that record is fresh. Quality measures and staffing both earned 4 of 5 stars, while health inspections landed at 3.

Staff turnover

Prairie Ridge is city-and-county owned in Orange City, and the staffing numbers are the strongest thing it has going. At 3.91 nurse hours per resident day, it sits just above the national average, and weekend coverage dips only about 8% below weekdays, smaller than what many homes run. Turnover is 34%, well under the 45.8% national figure, which matters for whether you see the same faces. The tradeoff shows up elsewhere: eight deficiencies on record, none at harm level but one abuse-related, and a 2/5 on quality measures. The last inspection was April 2025, so the record is fairly current.

Fieldstone Of Dewitt runs on 4.06 nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage dips roughly 7% below its own weekday levels, worth asking about if your family visits mainly on Saturdays and Sundays. Annual turnover sits at 34.9%, well below the 45.8% national figure, so the people caring for residents tend to stick around, which matters more than any single inspection score. The home carries four deficiencies on its current record, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, with a health inspection from July 2025. Quality measures land mid-range while staffing and inspections score higher.

Creekside runs on 4.12 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 7% above the national average, and its staff turnover of 33.3% is well below the 45.8% national figure, two signs of a stable, adequately staffed building. Weekend coverage dips about 7% from weekday levels, worth asking about if your family visits Saturdays or Sundays. The inspection record is thin: one deficiency total, none at harm level, none abuse-related, with the most recent survey in December 2025. The weaker spot is the 2/5 quality measure rating, so ask what specific clinical measures are dragging that down.

Nurse hours

Staff turnover
29%
Serious cites
0

Mount Carmel Bluffs runs on 4.32 nurse hours per resident day, about 12 percent above the national average, and its staff tends to stay, 29 percent turnover against a national 45.8. That steadiness shows up in the inspection record: seven deficiencies, none at the harm level, none tied to abuse, with a survey completed in late February 2026. The trade-off is quality measures, where the home scores low despite the strong staffing. Weekend coverage slips roughly 10 percent below its own weekday level, so ask how that gap gets filled. It's a for-profit limited liability company with 60 beds.

Good Samaritan-Olathe

Good Samaritan Society - Olathe runs a nonprofit home with 128 certified beds, and its staffing is the strongest part of the picture: 3.90 nurse hours per resident day, just above the national average, with a 5/5 CMS staffing rating. Turnover sits at 28.9% against a national 45.8%, so workers tend to stay. The trouble is the inspection record, 37 deficiencies, one at the harm level and two tied to abuse, with the most recent survey in July 2025. Weekend staffing also drops about 13% below weekdays. Strong retention and thin weekend coverage can coexist, and here they do.

Wichita Presbyterian Manor

Wichita, KS · Sedgwick County

CMS 5/5 50 beds Non-profit Medicaid
Nurse hours

Staff turnover
60%

Wichita Presbyterian Manor runs 50 certified beds as a nonprofit corporation, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.69 hours per resident day, roughly 21% above the national average. Weekends dip about 14% below the home's own weekday coverage, so the care a resident gets Saturday and Sunday isn't quite the weekdays' pace. Staff turnover is the sticking point: 59.6% annually against a 45.8% national average, meaning well over half the nursing staff leaves each year. Inspections were last done in May 2025 and the record shows 18 deficiencies, one at harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related. Strong quality scores don't erase that kind of churn.

Village Shalom Inc

Overland Park, KS · Johnson County

Staff turnover

Village Shalom runs unusually heavy nurse staffing for a 66-bed nonprofit home, 5.86 hours per resident day, roughly half again the national figure, and weekends barely dip below weekdays. That consistency matters, and it's reflected in the top marks for staffing and quality measures. The friction sits elsewhere: 32 deficiencies on the current record, two of them at harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, with a single $16,153 fine and a June 2025 inspection. Staff turnover of 59.2% is well above the 45.8% national average, which means the hands at the bedside keep changing even though the hours are there on paper.

Aberdeen Village

Aberdeen Village runs one of the stronger staffing operations you'll see in Johnson County, 5.17 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly a third more than the national average, and weekend coverage holds within about 7% of weekday levels. Staff turnover sits at 35.7%, well below the 45.8% national figure, which matters for whether your parent sees the same faces week to week. That's the upside. The inspection record is where it gets mixed: 15 deficiencies on file, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, plus a single $8,021 fine, with the most recent inspection in February 2026. Strong staffing grades and a 4/5 inspection rating don't erase those specific findings, ask about them directly before deciding.

Nurse hours

Staff turnover
55%
Serious cites
0

Lakepoint Wichita runs a 110-bed for-profit operation, and the staffing numbers are its strongest card, 4.89 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 27% above the national average. The catch is turnover: 54.5% annually, nearly nine points above the national figure, and weekends run about 11% thinner than weekdays, so the coverage you see on paper isn't always the coverage your family member gets. The inspection record is the real concern: 46 deficiencies, two of them serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level. Quality and staffing measures both scored well, but a 2/5 on health inspections, last surveyed in December 2024, means the clinical and physical plant side has repeatedly fallen short.

Staff turnover
63%
Serious cites
0

Hoeger House runs a small operation in Olathe, 34 beds, nonprofit-owned, and the raw nursing hours are genuinely high: 5.55 per resident day against a national average of 3.86. That's real coverage, though weekends dip about 11% below the home's own weekday level, and turnover sits at 62.5% against a national 45.8%, so the people providing that care are changing often. The inspection record shows 20 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy, with no abuse citations and a survey as recent as May 2025. Quality and staffing measures both score at the top of CMS's scale, but that turnover number is the thing worth asking about directly.

Kansas Veterans Home

Winfield, KS · Cowley County

Staff turnover

Kansas Veterans Home in Winfield runs on unusually heavy staffing for a nursing home, 6.08 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86. That's roughly 58 percent more hands-on time, and it holds up on weekends better than most places, dipping about 14 percent instead of the steeper drops common elsewhere. State-run ownership shows in the numbers: 35.9 percent annual turnover beats the 45.8 percent national figure, and the current record carries 10 deficiencies, none at the harm level and none abuse-related. The tradeoff sits in the quality measures, which score low relative to inspections and staffing. Worth asking what specifically drives that before you decide.

Staff turnover

Colonial Village runs a 40-bed for-profit home in Overland Park, and the staffing numbers are genuinely above average, 4.43 nurse hours per resident day against a national 3.86. Weekends drop about 9% below its own weekday level, though, so coverage thins when families tend to visit. The bigger concern is turnover at 63% against a national 45.8%, meaning most of the people caring for your relative are relatively new. Inspections show 28 deficiencies on record, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, with a 2/5 inspection rating. The most recent inspection was October 2024, so the record is current.

Phillips County Retirement Center

Phillipsburg, KS · Phillips County

Staff turnover
39%
Serious cites

Phillips County Retirement Center has a staffing story that cuts both ways. The 4.21 nurse hours per resident day tops the national average by roughly 9%, and turnover at 38.7% actually beats the 45.8% norm, but weekends run about 12% thinner than weekdays, and CMS's own staffing rating lands at just 1 out of 5. The inspection record is the bigger concern: 36 deficiencies, including 2 at harm or jeopardy level and 6 tied to abuse, with the most recent inspection dated March 2026. For a 40-bed nonprofit, that's a lot of regulatory history to weigh against the favorable turnover number.

Nazareth Home Clifton runs on more nursing hours than most places, 4.68 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, roughly a fifth more hands-on care than typical. Weekend coverage dips about 10% from weekday levels, which is worth asking about if your family visits mainly on Saturdays and Sundays. The inspection record shows 17 deficiencies, none rising to harm or jeopardy, though two are abuse-related; the most recent state visit was in May 2025. Staff turnover sits at 47.2%, a touch above the national 45.8%. As a nonprofit, it answers to a board rather than shareholders, and its quality measure score is perfect.

Staff turnover
35%
Serious cites
0

Breckinridge Place runs on 5.08 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a third more staffing than the national average, and the inspection record backs it up with a top federal rating and a recent August 2025 survey. Turnover sits at 35.3%, well under the national 45.8%, which matters in a 24-bed nonprofit where residents see the same faces. Two things temper that: weekend hours dip about 14% below the home's own weekday pace, and four deficiencies remain on record, two of them serious enough to trigger harm or jeopardy citations, though none involve abuse. Quality measures land mid-pack, suggesting clinical outcomes don't fully track the strong staffing.
