Willowbrooke Court runs 4.24 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a tenth more than the national average, and its staff tends to stay, turnover is 23.1% against a national figure near 46%. Weekend coverage dips about 6% below weekday levels, a gap worth asking about if your family visits Saturdays and Sundays. The home carries eight deficiencies on its current record, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in September 2025. It's a 48-bed nonprofit in Gainesville, and the staffing and inspection numbers are doing the heavy lifting here.

Kauai Veterans Memorial Hospital is a small state-run home, 20 certified beds, where the caregiver hours per resident run about 26% above the national average, and staff turnover sits at 9.5% against a national 45.8%. That kind of retention is rare, and the quality measures score reflects it. The problem isn't the people; it's the building's history. Twenty-one deficiencies on the current record, two of them serious enough to put residents in harm's way, landed this home in CMS's Special Focus Facility program, and the inspection star tells the same story. Weekend staffing also dips about 11% below weekdays. One fine on record, $34,588. The last inspection was September 2024.

Gottlieb Memorial is small, 32 certified beds, and it's run by a nonprofit corporation, which tends to mean the money goes back into the building rather than out to shareholders. The staffing numbers are the real story here: 5.56 nurse hours per resident per day against a national average of 3.86. That's roughly 44% more hands-on time than a typical home, and weekend coverage barely drops off from weekdays, so your family member isn't getting a skeleton crew on Sundays. Turnover sits at 38.6%, better than the 45.8% national figure, though not low enough to call it settled. Six deficiencies on record, none at the level that suggests actual harm, but two tied to abuse, worth asking about specifically.

Meridian Village Care Center runs on church-affiliated nonprofit ownership in Glen Carbon, and the numbers back up what that structure often buys: time with residents. Nurse staffing sits at 4.66 hours per resident day, roughly a fifth above the national average, and weekends dip only about 5% below weekdays, a small gap compared with what many homes show. Staff turnover is 28%, well under the national 45.8%, which matters because consistent caregivers know the residents. The current record carries seven deficiencies, none at the harm level, though one is abuse-related and worth asking about directly. A 5/5 inspection rating and a November 2024 survey round out a record that looks stable rather than lucky.

Bethany Home runs on 4.50 nurse staffing hours per resident day, roughly 16% above the national average, and its weekend coverage dips about 13% below its own weekday level, a gap worth asking about if you're planning visits or worrying about Saturday-night response times. Staff turnover sits at 32.1%, well under the 45.8% national figure, which suggests less churn than most places and more familiar faces on the floor. The inspection record is thin: two deficiencies total, none at harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related, with the last survey in May 2025. Corporate for-profit ownership, 66 beds, and a clean survey history carry real weight here.

Scottish Rite Park runs on unusually steady staffing for a 51-bed nonprofit home in Des Moines. Nurses provide 5.15 hours per resident day, roughly a third more than the national average, and only 14% of staff left last year, against a national rate near 46%. Weekend coverage dips about 12% from weekday levels, which is worth asking about, but the bigger caution sits in the inspection record: nine deficiencies, three serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and six fines totaling $60,726. The most recent state visit was June 2025, so the record is current. Strong care numbers paired with real compliance problems, that mix is what a B reflects.

Wilton Retirement Community runs a small 34-bed nonprofit home in Muscatine County, and the staffing numbers stand out: 5.36 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 39% above the national average. Weekend coverage dips about 10% below its own weekday level, which is worth knowing if you're planning visits or worrying about Saturday care. Staff turnover sits at 28.3% against a national 45.8%, so the people caring for residents tend to stay. On the record: seven deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, one abuse-related, with the most recent inspection dated December 31, 2025. Five stars on health inspections, five on staffing, four on quality measures.

Larksfield Place runs on lean, steady staffing: 4.55 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 18% above the national average, and weekend coverage drops only about 9% from weekday levels, so care doesn't thin out much on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover sits at 33.9% against a national average near 46%, which means the people caring for residents tend to stick around. The record shows 13 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in October 2024. As a nonprofit, it answers to a board rather than shareholders. The numbers describe a home that is well-staffed, stable, and currently clear of serious findings.

Leonardville Nursing Home runs on unusually deep staffing for a 55-bed nonprofit, 5.10 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage only dips about 13% below weekdays, which is a smaller drop than many homes show. Staff turnover sits at 34.8%, better than the 45.8% national figure, so the people here tend to stay. The tradeoff is a longer paper trail: 12 deficiencies on record, one abuse-related, though none rose to harm or jeopardy level. A clean five-star inspection rating and a recent October 2024 survey back that up.

Breckinridge Memorial runs a small 18-bed nonprofit home in Hardinsburg, and the people on the floor are the strongest part of it. Nurse staffing sits at 5.07 hours per resident day, roughly 31% above the national average, and turnover at 43.3% is a touch better than the 45.8% norm. Weekends thin out by about 14% against weekdays, worth asking about if your family member needs help then. The harder reading is on inspections: two health deficiencies at the harm or jeopardy level, one tied to abuse, plus two fines totaling $10,364, with the most recent inspection in March 2026. Strong care hours and a recent abuse-related finding can both be true; weigh which matters more for your situation.

Linden Ponds runs 5.15 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a third more than the national average of 3.86, and its 41% staff turnover sits below the national rate of 45.8%, a real edge on the two things families worry about most. Weekend staffing dips about 12% below weekdays, though, so the coverage your relative gets on a Saturday won't quite match Tuesday. The health inspection side is less comfortable: six deficiencies, two of them at harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, with one fine of $12,735, and the last inspection was April 2026. The five-star quality measure rating reflects good clinical outcomes, but those harm-level findings are worth asking the administrator about directly.

Raybrook Manor is a nonprofit home in Grand Rapids with 101 certified beds, and the numbers behind its grade are mostly about people. Nurse staffing runs 4.77 hours per resident day, roughly a quarter above the national average, and only about 11% of that thins out on weekends. Annual turnover sits at 31.3% against a national average near 46%, which matters more than it sounds, since aides and nurses who stay put know the residents. The tradeoff shows up in its record: 21 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and four tied to abuse, though the most recent inspection this March earned 4 out of 5 stars. Worth asking about those abuse citations directly.

Fraser Villa runs on 4.36 nurse hours per resident day, about 13% above the national average, and its staff turnover of 28.4% sits well under the 45.8% norm, both signs of a stable crew rather than a revolving door. Weekend staffing dips roughly 13% below weekday levels, so ask how that plays out on a Sunday. The record shows 8 deficiencies, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in March 2026. Nonprofit ownership under a corporation, and top marks across health inspection, quality measures, and staffing. The numbers point to a home that's been running clean.

Augustana Care Hastings runs a nonprofit shop with real staffing depth, 4.60 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and a 33.3% turnover rate that's meaningfully better than the 45.8% typical elsewhere. Weekends dip about 13% below weekday coverage, so ask how that gap gets filled. The catch sits on the inspection side: 18 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, plus a $21,645 fine, and the most recent survey dates to May 2025. Quality measures score well, but quality scores are self-reported by the facility. The staffing is genuinely there; the compliance record is the part worth pressing on during a visit.

Avera Granite Falls runs on a church-affiliated nonprofit model with 48 beds, and its staffing tells a story that splits in two directions. The day-to-day numbers land just under the national average, and weekends dip about 10% below its own weekday coverage, but only a quarter of its staff left last year, well under the 45.8% national rate, which matters for residents who need consistent faces. The trouble sits in inspections: 17 deficiencies on record, two serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, one tied to abuse, and a $15,642 fine. That's the gap behind the middling grade, steady hands, uneven oversight.

Good Shepherd Lutheran Home runs on strong staffing: 4.92 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 28% above the national average, with turnover at 38.6% compared to 45.8% nationally. Weekend coverage dips about 11% below its own weekday level, worth asking about if your family visits or needs help on Saturdays and Sundays. The trade-off is inspections. Twenty deficiencies on the current record, including one abuse-related citation, though none reached harm or jeopardy level, and the last inspection was April 2025. Quality measures score well, but that recent survey history is the part of this home's record that deserves your attention before you decide.

Lakeview Methodist runs lean on turnover compared to most places, 36.5% against a national average near 46%, and it puts more nursing hours into each resident's day than the typical home, roughly 23% above the national figure. The catch is weekends, when staffing drops about 14% below its own weekday level, so care can look different on a Saturday than a Tuesday. Its 26 deficiencies are worth noting, though none rose to harm or jeopardy and none involved abuse. Inspectors were last on site in November 2025, so the record is current. For a nonprofit home of 72 beds, the numbers say steady hands, thinner weekend coverage, and a clean safety record on paper.

Good Samaritan Society - Comforcare runs 45 certified beds in Austin under nonprofit ownership, and its staffing sits at 4.04 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 5% above the national average of 3.86. That margin matters less than the turnover number: 28.3% annually against a national average of 45.8%, which suggests aides and nurses here tend to stay. Weekend coverage dips about 8% below the home's own weekday level, so ask how that plays out on Saturdays. The inspection record is where the picture complicates. Fourteen deficiencies are logged, one at the harm or jeopardy level, with a single fine of $21,645. The most recent inspection was January 29, 2026. Four stars on health inspections, five on quality measures and staffing, solid marks undercut somewhat by that harm-level finding. Worth asking about directly.

Mapleton Community Home runs on 4.13 nurse staffing hours per resident day, about 7% above the national average, and its staff turnover sits at 17.6%, well under half the national rate of 45.8%. That retention matters more than any single number here, because consistent caregivers know residents' routines and catch changes early. Weekend staffing drops roughly 12% below its own weekday level, a gap worth asking about directly. The current record shows 12 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in August 2025. As a nonprofit with 59 beds, it's small enough that the same faces show up shift after shift.

Redeemer Health Care Center in Minneapolis runs 4.34 nurse hours per resident day, about 13 percent above the national average, and its staff turnover sits at 33.8 percent, noticeably lower than the 45.8 percent typical elsewhere. Weekend staffing dips roughly 10 percent below its own weekday coverage, worth asking about if your family visits Saturdays or Sundays. The 25 deficiencies on record include nothing at the harm or jeopardy level and nothing abuse-related, and the most recent inspection was June 5, 2025, so the picture is current. This is a nonprofit corporation with 119 certified beds, and its federal ratings put quality measures and staffing at the top of the scale while health inspections land midrange.
