Staff turnover

The Glebe runs about 5.42 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 40% more than the national average of 3.86, that's the kind of cushion that matters when a resident needs help at 2 a.m. Weekend staffing dips about 21% below its own weekday levels, worth asking about, though the floor starts high. Seven deficiencies sit on the current record, none at the harm level and none abuse-related. Staff turnover lands at 49%, a bit above the 45.8% national figure. CMS gives this nonprofit five stars each for inspections, quality measures, and staffing, with its last inspection in April 2024.

Bridgewater Home runs a genuinely well-staffed floor: 4.63 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 20% above the national average, and the low 31.9% turnover means the aides and nurses you meet are more likely to still be there next year. Weekend coverage dips about 13% below weekday levels, so ask how that plays out on a Saturday. The 26 deficiencies on record are worth reading closely, but none rose to harm or jeopardy and none involved abuse. Inspectors were last in on January 22, 2026, so the picture is current. A nonprofit with steady hands and no crisis-level findings.

The Village at Orchard Ridge runs about 5.04 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 31% above the national average of 3.86, and its CMS staffing rating comes in at 5 out of 5. Weekend coverage dips only about 5% below weekday levels, which is a small gap by industry standards. Staff turnover sits at 39.1%, better than the 45.8% national average, suggesting people tend to stay. The current record shows four deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in March 2024. State survey and quality measure ratings both land at 4 out of 5. For a 20-bed nonprofit home, the numbers point to steady, well-staffed care.

Our Lady of Peace runs 30 beds as a nonprofit, and the staffing is the strongest part of the picture, 4.16 nurse hours per resident per day, about 8% above the national average, with turnover at 34.3% against a national 45.8%. Weekend coverage does dip roughly 9% below weekday levels, so ask how that plays out on Saturdays and Sundays. The trade-off shows up in inspections: 26 deficiencies on the current record, two of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and a two-star health inspection rating, though the last survey was in March 2026. No abuse citations appear in the data.

Falcons Landing sits in Potomac Falls with 60 certified beds and a nonprofit owner, and the numbers behind its record are steady rather than flashy. Nurse staffing runs 4.55 hours per resident day, about 18% above the national average, and weekend coverage barely dips below weekday levels, a gap that trips up plenty of homes. Staff turnover is 39%, better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for residents who value seeing the same faces. The health inspection record shows 11 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the last inspection in May 2023. Four and five stars across inspections, quality measures, and staffing tell a consistent story.

Riverside Lifelong Health & Rehabilitation Sanders runs on unusually deep nurse staffing, 4.59 hours per resident day, roughly 19% above the national average, which is the main reason it holds a 5-star staffing rating. Weekends dip about 12% below its own weekday coverage, so ask how that plays out on a Saturday. The 34.6% turnover is better than the 45.8% national figure but still means about a third of staff left in a year. Inspections in July 2023 turned up 23 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, which sits oddly beside the 4-star inspection rating. Nonprofit ownership, 55 beds, quality measures middling at 3 stars.

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.

Southampton Memorial Hosp runs on a church-affiliated nonprofit model, and the staffing numbers back up that mission. At 4.01 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 4% above the national average, and its 31.6% turnover is well below the 45.8% typical elsewhere, that kind of retention usually means consistent caregivers who know the residents. The trade-off shows up on weekends, when staffing drops roughly 15% from weekday levels. On inspections, the home has a 4/5 health rating and 4/5 on quality measures, with 19 deficiencies on record, none at harm level, though two are abuse-related, which families should ask about directly.

Sunnyside Presbyterian runs on 4.65 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a fifth more staffing than the typical American nursing home. That's the number that drives most of what's good here. Weekend coverage dips about 17% below weekday levels, so ask how that plays out on a Saturday night. Staff turnover sits at 41.8%, a few points better than the national 45.8%, which suggests people stay longer than average. Five deficiencies on record, none at harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related and worth asking about directly. The last inspection was March 2026, and a 5/5 health inspection rating with 5/5 quality measures is hard to get and usually means the basics are handled.

The Springs runs a tight ship on clinical measures, a 5/5 on CMS quality and 4/5 on health inspections, with 16 deficiencies on record, none rising to harm or jeopardy. Staffing sits at 3.91 nurse hours per resident day, barely above the national average, and weekends drop about 11% below the home's own weekday coverage, so the care you'd see on a Saturday looks thinner than a Tuesday. Turnover at 47.4% is slightly worse than the national figure. The three abuse-related deficiencies are the part worth asking about directly, even though they never reached the harm level.

Lakewood Manor runs 5.03 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 30% above the national average of 3.86, and that shows up in the staffing and quality measure ratings. The trade-off is on the health inspection side: 22 deficiencies on record, one of them at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, with the last inspection back in June 2023. Staff turnover sits at 46.4%, right about at the national norm, and weekend coverage dips about 9% below the weekday level, so evenings and Sundays are where the extra hours are least likely to reach the floor.

Ashby Ponds runs a nonprofit shop in Loudoun County with 44 certified beds and enough nurses to make most homes look thin, 4.82 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86. Staff turnover sits at 39%, better than the 45.8% typical elsewhere, though weekends run about 11% lighter than weekdays. The inspection record shows 17 deficiencies, none involving harm or abuse, with four fines totaling $9,438 and a February 2024 survey. The 3/5 inspection rating is the weak spot; the 5/5 staffing and 4/5 quality measures carry the rest.

Francis Marion Manor runs on more nursing hours than most places, 5.03 per resident per day against a national average of 3.86, which is the kind of gap that shows up in call lights getting answered. Weekends thin out by about 15% from its own weekday staffing, so ask how that plays out on a Sunday. Nine deficiencies sit on the current record with none at the harm level, though one is abuse-related, and the last full inspection was in August 2024. Turnover is 47.9%, slightly worse than the 45.8% national figure, which matters more than the headcount on paper.

Woodhaven Hall runs a genuinely strong staffing operation, 5.40 nurse hours per resident day against a national average near 3.86, and its 39.7% turnover beats the 45.8% national figure. That's the good news, and it's real. The problems sit on the inspection side: 32 deficiencies on the current record, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and five tied to abuse, with a single $36,374 fine. Inspectors were last in on February 27, 2026. A nonprofit with this much direct care on the floor is doing something right, but the survey history is what a family should be asking about directly.
