All 9 Medicare-certified nursing homes in Florissant,
side by side on the things that separate them: how many nursing hours each resident gets, how much of the
staff leaves each year, and what inspectors found on their last visit.
Pillars of North County runs about 2.39 nurse hours per resident day against a national average near 3.86, roughly 38% less hands-on time than the typical home. Weekends dip even further, about 16% below what the building staffs on weekdays, and nearly half the nursing staff turned over in the past year. State inspectors cited 59 deficiencies on the current record, including two at the harm level and four tied to abuse. The five-star quality measure score reflects how well the home documents resident care, but the one-star staffing rating and the inspection history tell you what those daily hours actually look like.
Stonebridge Florissant runs on thin staffing. At 3.28 nurse hours per resident day, it sits roughly 15 percent under the national average, and weekends drop another 18 percent below its own weekday numbers, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Turnover tells a related story: 75.9 percent of staff leave within a year, well above the 45.8 percent national figure, which means unfamiliar faces and constant retraining.
The inspection record is current, dated August 2025, with 37 deficiencies but none flagged at harm or jeopardy level, and none abuse-related. That's a meaningful distinction. Still, a 1-out-of-5 staffing rating with that churn rate is the number to weigh hardest when you tour.
Florissant Valley runs 3.94 nurse hours per resident day, a hair above the national average of 3.86, but look closer and the picture changes. Weekend staffing drops roughly 17% below the home's own weekday level, and annual turnover sits at 68.8% against a national figure of 45.8%, meaning most of the people caring for residents are relatively new and the weekend crew is thinner. The inspection record shows 72 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, with the most recent inspection in November 2024. For a 98-bed for-profit corporate home, those numbers, not the staffing headline, are what a family should weigh.
Willowcreek runs leaner on nursing hours than the typical American nursing home, about 3.48 hours per resident day against a national average near 3.86, and weekends get thinner still, roughly 17% below what the building staffs on weekdays. Nearly 93 deficiencies sit on the current record, seven of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, nine tied to abuse, with three fines totaling $90,333. The federal government has placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, which is reserved for homes with a persistent pattern of poor care. Staff turnover of 54.3% runs above the national figure, meaning caregivers cycle through faster than residents can get to know them.
St Sophia runs 240 beds in Florissant under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing numbers are the first thing to look at: 2.86 nurse hours per resident per day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends about 16% thinner than weekdays. Turnover sits at 68.4%, roughly two-thirds of the nursing staff leaving in a year, well above the 45.8% norm, so the people caring for your relative are frequently new. The inspection record shows 87 deficiencies, including four at the harm level and three tied to abuse, with $69,203 in fines and a January 2025 inspection. Resident quality measures score well, but that's the one bright spot in an otherwise strained picture.
Rancho Rehab And Healthcare Center runs on about 3.30 nurse staffing hours per resident day, roughly 15 percent under the national average, and weekends drop another 15 percent below its own weekday levels. Staff turnover sits at 78.3 percent, well above the 45.8 percent national figure, so the people providing care keep changing. The current inspection record carries 52 deficiencies, three of them at the harm or jeopardy level and three abuse-related, with $28,060 in fines and a March 2025 inspection behind it. For-profit operation under an LLC, 120 certified beds. Families should ask directly who's on duty on weekends and how long the current director of nursing has been in place.
Lakeview Post Acute runs 3.97 nurse hours per resident day, which edges past the national average of 3.86, but that number hides a staffing churn problem. Turnover sits at 83.3%, nearly double the national rate, and weekend coverage drops about 11% below weekdays, so the aide who knows your mother on Tuesday may be gone by next month. The inspection record is where it gets hard to ignore: 92 deficiencies, 8 at harm or jeopardy level, 5 tied to abuse, and a $176,501 fine, with the last inspection in October 2024. For-profit LLC ownership, and CMS rates staffing and health inspections 1 out of 5.
Crestwood runs on 2.62 nursing hours per resident per day, roughly a third below the national average, and weekends drop another 12% under its own weekday level. That thin coverage shows up in the numbers families can verify: a 1-star health inspection rating, 81 deficiencies on record, 8 of them serious enough to threaten harm, and 25 tied to abuse. Annual turnover sits at 64.6%, well past the 45.8% national figure, meaning the aides and nurses around your relative are likely new to the building. Two fines totaling $146,887 are on file from the state's last visit in June 2024, and the limited liability company that owns this 150-bed home answers to no one above it.
Bentwood runs 116 certified beds in Florissant under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers that stand out most are about people. Nurse staffing sits at 3.28 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends run about 17 percent thinner than weekdays, which matters because that's when families often visit and when problems can go unnoticed. The bigger signal is turnover: 77.3 percent of staff leaving in a year, well above the 45.8 percent national figure. On the record are 60 deficiencies, four of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, plus three tied to abuse, and two fines totaling $107,465. The most recent inspection was February 24, 2026.
