All 19 Medicare-certified nursing homes in Cleveland,
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.
Algart Health Care sits on Cleveland's west side with 78 certified beds and a for-profit corporate owner. The numbers that matter most here are clean: five deficiencies on the current record, none of them causing harm or jeopardy, and none related to abuse. That's a record inspectors last reviewed in September 2025, and the 5-star health inspection rating reflects it. Staffing is where the picture gets more mixed. At 3.55 nurse hours per resident day, Algart runs about 8 percent under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 11 percent below its own weekday levels, worth asking about if your family member needs help on Saturdays and Sundays. Turnover, at 41.3 percent, is actually better than the 45.8 percent national figure.
Larchwood Care runs on a for-profit LLC model with 74 certified beds, and its nurse staffing sits at 5.88 hours per resident day, roughly half again what the national average of 3.86 looks like, though weekend coverage drops about 11% below its own weekday numbers. Turnover runs 42.3%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure, and the current inspection record shows 19 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse. CMS rated its last inspection 4 out of 5 stars and its quality measures a full 5, with staffing at 3. The most recent survey was September 8, 2025, so what's on file is fresh, and the abuse citations are the piece worth asking about directly before you decide.
Slovene Home For The Aged is a 104-bed nonprofit in Cleveland, and the numbers pull in different directions. On the clinical side, residents' quality measures rate well above average, and the 25 deficiencies on record include nothing flagged at the harm or jeopardy level and nothing abuse-related, a record that could be considerably worse. The staffing picture is the problem: CMS gives it one star, meaning nurse coverage sits well below what most homes in Ohio report. With the last inspection in September 2024, the survey history is recent. If you're weighing this one, ask directly how many nurses are on the floor on evenings and weekends, because that's where the gap shows up.
Judson Park runs a small 36-bed operation in Cleveland, and the nurse staffing number stands out, 8.10 hours per resident day, more than double the national average. That cushion matters, though weekends dip about 21% below the home's own weekday coverage, so care may feel thinner on Saturdays and Sundays. The inspection record shows 10 deficiencies, two serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, plus one fine of $25,847; the last full inspection was in January 2023, so that picture is getting stale. Nonprofit ownership and solid marks on health, quality, and staffing all point to a home that's generally doing right by residents, with the weekend gap and those two harm-level findings the things worth asking about directly.
Singleton Health Care Center runs about 3.28 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 15% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop another 14% below its own weekday staffing. Turnover sits at 39.6%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure. The current inspection record shows 24 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, but three tied to abuse. Inspectors were last in on November 18, 2024, and the health inspection and quality measure ratings both come in at 4 out of 5 stars, with staffing at 3. That mix, solid survey results against thinner daily coverage, is worth weighing when you visit.
Westpark sits in Cleveland with 99 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership. Its nurse staffing works out to essentially the national average, 3.85 hours per resident day against 3.86, though weekends run about 16% thinner than weekdays, and turnover is 48.9%, a few points above the 45.8% national figure. On inspections, the record shows 18 deficiencies with two tied to abuse, but none at the harm or jeopardy level, and the most recent look came January 29, 2026. Quality measures score well and inspection history is solid. The practical read: adequate weekday coverage, shakier weekends, and a staff retention problem worth asking about directly.
St Augustine Manor runs 4.59 nurse hours per resident day, about 19% above the national average, and its quality measure score is perfect. That's the good news. The staffing star rating sits at 2 out of 5, though, because weekend coverage drops roughly 15% below what the home staffs on weekdays, so the weekly average hides a real dip when families tend to visit. Inspections in May 2024 turned up 15 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related. Those aren't paperwork problems. A nonprofit with 220 beds and strong clinical marks still has to answer for what happens on its worst days.
Aristos runs about 3.27 nursing hours per resident per day, roughly 15% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop another 7% below the home's own weekday coverage. Annual turnover sits at 54.3%, nearly nine points above the national figure, with 41 deficiencies on record, one abuse-related, none at harm level, and a 2/5 inspection rating, though the most recent survey was in late September 2025. The quality measure star of 4/5 suggests the clinical data looks better than the staffing and inspection picture. For-profit corporate ownership means decisions about wages and coverage get made elsewhere, which is worth asking about directly.
Franklin Plaza Extended Care is a 178-bed for-profit home in Cleveland, and the numbers tell a mixed story. Staffing sits at 3.56 nurse hours per resident day, about 8% under the national average, and it thins out further on weekends, roughly 13% below the home's own weekday coverage. Annual turnover runs 48.7%, a bit above the national 45.8%. What stands out most is the inspection record: 38 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, with the most recent inspection in September 2025. The quality measure score looks strong, but that reflects charted care indicators, not whether enough hands are on the floor.
Eliza Jennings Home runs 4.10 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 6% above the national average, and its staffing star rating reflects that. The catch is consistency: weekend coverage drops about 8% below its own weekday levels, and annual turnover sits at 60.5% against a national average of 45.8%, so the people delivering that care keep changing. On inspections, the record shows 19 deficiencies with none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, and the most recent visit was November 2023, getting close to two and a half years old. A nonprofit with 126 beds, decent inspection history, and real staffing investment, undercut by churn and thinner weekends.
Hillside Plaza sits at 47 beds in Cleveland, run by a for-profit corporation. The staffing picture splits in two directions: overall nurse hours come in slightly above the national average, but that average hides a weekend drop of about 22 percent, and the staff star rating sits at the lowest rung. Annual turnover is 66 percent against a national 45.8, roughly two-thirds of the nursing staff leaving in a year. The quality measure star is a 5, though the 30 deficiencies on record include three tied to abuse, even with none at the harm level. A May 2025 inspection keeps eyes on the place.
Eastbrook runs on thin staffing. At 3.59 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 7% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 14% below its own weekday levels, meaning care gets leanest exactly when families tend to visit. Annual turnover of 57.1% is well above the 45.8% national figure, so the people caring for your relative are often new. The inspection history is heavier than you'd want: 43 deficiencies on record, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, plus a $23,989 fine. Quality scores look strong on paper, but that staffing star tells the real story of what a shift actually feels like.
Cityview runs 146 beds on Cleveland's east side, and the corporate owner's staffing shows it: 3.02 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends about 13% thinner than weekdays. Turnover sits at 48.4%, slightly above the national 45.8%. The inspection record is the harder problem, 55 deficiencies, six at harm or jeopardy level, eight tied to abuse, and $193,120 in fines across five penalties. CMS has placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, reserved for homes with persistent serious problems. The last inspection was November 2022. Resident satisfaction surveys look strong, but that measure doesn't capture whether enough hands are present.
Crawford Manor is a 50-bed for-profit in Cleveland, and the numbers split in two directions. The quality measures look strong, but everything about how the place is run and inspected tells a different story: a one-star health inspection rating, 47 deficiencies on the current record including three at the harm level and seven tied to abuse, plus two fines totaling $25,366. Staffing sits at 3.79 hours per resident day, slightly under the national average, and it thins out on weekends by roughly 14 percent. Turnover at 42.9 percent is a bit better than the national figure, but that's faint comfort. The last inspection was December 2023, so the record may not reflect what's happening now.
Rocky River Gardens runs on 3.21 nurse staffing hours per resident day, roughly 17 percent under the national average, and weekends drop another 14 percent below its own weekdays. That thin coverage shows up in the numbers: a one-star CMS staffing rating, 58.7 percent annual turnover against a national 45.8 percent, and a one-star health inspection rating backed by 44 deficiencies on record, five of them at harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse. The $68,068 in fines across three actions and an April 2024 inspection round out a pattern that's hard to read kindly. Its five-star quality measure score stands alone against all of it.
Harvard Gardens runs on 3.09 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly a fifth below the national average, and weekends dip about 8 percent below its own weekday staffing. That thin coverage sits behind a one-star staffing rating and a one-star health inspection rating, with 73 deficiencies on the current record: three at harm or jeopardy level and eight tied to abuse. Six fines add up to $194,149. The five-star quality measure score looks strong on paper, but it's built in part on data the short staffing itself helps generate. Ownership is a for-profit partnership, and the most recent inspection was March 3, 2026. The quality number and the staffing number don't tell the same story.
The Gardens of Fairfax runs on thin staffing. At 3.71 nurse hours per resident day, it sits just under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 17% below its own weekday levels, meaning the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Turnover tells the harder story: 68.8% of staff leave each year, well above the 45.8% national figure, so the people caring for residents keep changing.
The inspection record is heavy, 47 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and seven tied to abuse, plus 24 fines totaling $145,170. The most recent inspection was in February 2026, so the record is current. Corporate ownership is a for-profit limited liability company.
Gardens Of Euclid Beach runs on thin nursing coverage: 3.42 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends dipping about 12% below its own weekday levels. That shortfall shows up in the workforce itself, 71.4% annual turnover, well above the 45.8% national figure. The inspection record is the harder read: 60 deficiencies, two at harm or jeopardy level, two tied to abuse, and a single $200,605 fine, with the most recent inspection in September 2025. A for-profit limited liability company operates the 99-bed home. Its quality measure score looks strong, but staffing and inspection results sit at the bottom of CMS's scale, and those are the measures families feel day to day.
University Manor runs on 3.01 nurse staffing hours per resident per day, about 22 percent under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip roughly 6 percent below its own weekdays, so coverage is thinnest exactly when families tend to visit. Its inspection record carries 47 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and six tied to abuse, plus $32,394 in fines. Staff turnover sits at 47.8 percent against a national 45.8, and the last inspection was December 5, 2024. As a nonprofit corporation, it isn't chasing shareholder returns, but that structure hasn't translated into stronger numbers here.
