Staff turnover

Heinz Transitional Rehabilitation Unit runs 44 certified beds as a nonprofit, and the numbers behind its record are worth knowing. Nurse staffing sits at 5.08 hours per resident day, roughly a third above the national average, though weekend coverage drops about 14% from weekday levels, a gap families should ask about directly, since that's when problems often surface. Staff turnover is 26.2%, well under the national 45.8%, which matters for whether your parent sees the same faces. Ten deficiencies appear on the current record, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in September 2025.

Fraser Health Center runs on 5.38 nursing hours per resident per day, roughly 39% above the national average, and it's 5-for-5 on CMS's staffing measure. Weekend coverage dips about 11% below weekday levels, and annual turnover sits at 28.6%, well under the national 45.8%, which matters for consistency of care at a 33-bed nonprofit. The inspection record shows six deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent visit in April 2025; quality measures rate 4 out of 5. The weaker spot is the 3-out-of-5 health inspection rating, though the low severity of those findings suggests they were mostly paperwork and process issues rather than anything that hurt a resident.

Bishop Gadsden runs 5.37 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 39% above the national average of 3.86. That's a real gap, not a rounding difference, it means more hands on deck per resident than most homes in the country. Staff turnover sits at 33.9% against a national average of 45.8%, so workers tend to stick around longer here than elsewhere. Weekends run about 10% lighter than weekdays, which is worth knowing if you'll be visiting then. The inspection record shows 10 deficiencies, one at the harm level and none tied to abuse, with the most recent visit in April 2025. As a nonprofit, there's no owner extracting profit from the operation.

Westminster-Canterbury of Lynchburg runs on a church-affiliated nonprofit model with 80 certified beds, and the staffing numbers are the story here. At 5.92 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 53% above the national average, and weekend coverage barely dips, roughly 5% under its own weekday level, which is a small gap by most standards. Just as notable: 16% annual turnover against a national average near 46% means the people caring for residents tend to stay. Seven deficiencies on record, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with an inspection dated March 2026. The quality measure rating lands at 4/5 rather than perfect, so it isn't flawless across the board, but the inspection and staffing records are strong.

Westminster-Canterbury on Chesapeake Bay runs 6.24 nursing hours per resident each day, roughly 60% more than the national average of 3.86, and its weekend staffing holds within about 8% of weekday levels, a gap that's smaller than what many homes show. Staff turnover sits at 45%, essentially matching the national average. The current record lists 17 deficiencies with none at the harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related; the last inspection was in March 2023, so that record is now more than two years old. CMS rates staffing and quality measures at five stars and health inspections at four.

Goodwin House Bailey's Crossroads runs on 5.42 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 40% above the national average of 3.86, and its staff turnover sits at 19.3% against a national 45.8%. Weekend coverage dips only about 6% below its own weekday level, which is unusually steady. The 16 deficiencies on file include nothing at the harm or jeopardy level and nothing abuse-related, and the most recent inspection was August 2024. That combination, heavy staffing, low turnover, no serious findings, is what separates this home from most of what you'll see in Fairfax County.

Mountain View runs about 4.8 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter more staffing than the typical U.S. nursing home, and its staff turnover sits below the national average too. Weekend coverage dips about 9% from its own weekday level, which is worth asking about if your family visits mainly on Saturdays or Sundays. On the inspection side, the home carries 14 deficiencies but none at the harm level and none tied to abuse, and its most recent inspection was in October 2025. Church-affiliated nonprofit ownership with 40 beds suggests a smaller operation, and the survey record backs that up.

Judson Park Health Center runs on unusually deep staffing for a 96-bed nonprofit: 4.60 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 19 percent above the national average, with weekend coverage dipping only about 10 percent below its own weekday level. Turnover sits at 21.1 percent against a national 45.8 percent, so the people caring for residents tend to stay. The tradeoff shows up in its inspection history, 57 deficiencies on record, three tied to abuse, though none at the harm or jeopardy level, and the most recent inspection was August 2025, so the picture is current. Quality and staffing measures both rate at the top of CMS's scale, while health inspections land mid-range.

Fairmont Medical Center runs 30 beds as a nonprofit, and the staffing numbers are the first thing that stands out: 5.33 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86. That's roughly 38% more hands-on time than the typical home, though weekends dip about 12% below its own weekday level, so coverage isn't perfectly flat. Turnover sits at 33.3%, better than the 45.8% national figure. Six deficiencies are on the current record, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, with the last inspection in August 2025. All three CMS star ratings, inspections, quality measures, and staffing, come in at 5 out of 5.

Nurse staffing here runs about 5.2 hours per resident per day, well above the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip only slightly below weekdays rather than falling off a cliff. Staff turnover sits at 37.3%, better than the national 45.8%, which suggests people stay. The current record shows four deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related, worth asking about directly. Inspections are recent, and its marks across health, quality, and staffing are all top-tier. For a 50-bed nonprofit, the numbers point to steady, well-staffed care.

St Joseph Residence runs on roughly 6 hours of nursing care per resident per day, about 56% more than the typical American nursing home. Staff turnover sits at 38.3%, better than the 45.8% national figure, though weekend coverage dips about 10% below its own weekday pace, worth asking about if you'll be visiting Saturdays. The 13 deficiencies on record include two tied to abuse; none reached harm or jeopardy, and the most recent inspection was October 2025. Under church-related nonprofit ownership, its federal ratings land at 4 out of 5 for health inspections and 5 out of 5 for both quality measures and staffing.

Webster House runs on 5.05 nurse hours per resident per day, which is about a third more staffing than the typical California nursing home manages. The tradeoff is weekends, when hours drop roughly a quarter below the weekday pace, worth asking about if your family visits mainly on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover sits at 20.6%, less than half the national rate, so the people caring for residents tend to stay. Twenty-three deficiencies on the current record sounds like a lot until you see none involved harm or jeopardy, and none were abuse-related. The last inspection was in January 2025, so the picture is recent.

Tahoe Forest Hospital's skilled nursing unit runs on a nonprofit model with 37 certified beds, and the numbers suggest it's doing right by its residents. Nurse staffing sits at 4.77 hours per resident day, roughly a quarter above the national average, and weekend coverage dips only slightly from weekday levels, which matters because that's where many homes cut corners. Staff turnover is 22%, less than half the national rate, so you're seeing familiar faces rather than a revolving door. The home has 8 deficiencies on record, none involving harm or abuse, and its most recent inspection was in February 2026. For a small rural unit, this is a steady operation.

Nurse staffing here runs about 6.18 hours per resident day, roughly 60% above the national average, and the aide and nurse turnover rate of 16% is well under the national figure of about 46%. Weekend coverage dips about 9% below weekday levels, which is worth knowing if your visits fall on Saturdays or Sundays. The home is church-affiliated and nonprofit, holds a five-star CMS inspection rating, and its last inspection in April 2026 left 15 deficiencies on record, none at the harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related. Quality measures score four stars. That combination of high staffing, low turnover, and no harm-level findings is what's behind the grade.

Lincoln Glen runs on unusually stable staffing for a nursing home: 4.76 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter more than the national average, and turnover of 22.6% against a national rate near 46%. Weekend coverage dips about 7% below weekdays, which is worth asking about if your visits fall on Saturdays or Sundays. The church-affiliated nonprofit's inspection record shows 27 deficiencies, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in March 2025. Quality and staffing measures both sit at the top of CMS's scale, while the health inspection rating lands in the middle.

El Encanto runs on 5.16 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a third more than the national average, and its staff turnover of 23.4% sits well under the 45.8% typical elsewhere, that combination is unusual and it matters, because consistent caregivers tend to know residents' routines. Weekend coverage dips about 11% below weekdays, so ask how that plays out on Sundays. The record shows 37 deficiencies with none at the harm level, though four are abuse-related, which is worth a direct question. State inspectors were last in on June 13, 2025, so the picture is fairly current. As a nonprofit, it isn't answering to shareholders.

Staffing at this La Mesa nonprofit runs 6.71 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 74% above the national average of 3.86, and the 15.2% annual turnover is far below the 45.8% national figure, so the same caregivers tend to stay. Weekend coverage dips about 9% below weekdays, worth asking about. The 14 deficiencies on record include nothing at the harm or jeopardy level and nothing abuse-related, and the last inspection was June 2025. With 30 certified beds, it's small enough that a hospital-based operation can keep close tabs on residents.

On its current record: 11 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with an inspection as recent as December 2025. The mix, nonprofit ownership, high staffing, low turnover, no serious deficiencies, is what's actually behind the score.

Two are abuse-related, which is worth asking about directly.
