Vancrest of St Mary's runs a tight ship on the clinical side: a five-star health inspection record with just ten deficiencies, none of them causing harm or involving abuse, and the most recent visit from state surveyors came in December 2025. Quality measures also score five stars. Staffing is where the picture softens. At 3.84 nurse hours per resident day, it sits just under the national average, and weekend coverage drops roughly ten percent from its own weekday level, worth asking about if your family visits Saturdays and Sundays. Annual turnover of 52.6% runs well above the 45.8% national figure, meaning more than half the nursing staff turns over each year. Good care when people are there; keeping them there is the harder part.

Grande Lake Healthcare Center runs 45 certified beds in St. Marys under corporate for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.22 hours per resident day, roughly 17 percent under the national average of 3.86, with weekends about 10 percent thinner than its own weekdays. That shortfall shows up in the federal staffing rating, which lands at 2 out of 5. Turnover runs 43.2 percent, a touch better than the 45.8 percent national figure, so retention isn't the main problem. The record carries 33 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, though the last inspection was recent, in February 2025.

Otterbein St Marys runs leaner than most homes on daily nursing hours, about 3.49 per resident, roughly a tenth below the national figure, and weekends dip further, around 11% under its own weekday staffing. That gap matters most on Saturdays and Sundays when families often visit and needs don't pause.
The current inspection record carries 24 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and four tied to abuse, which is a lot to weigh against otherwise solid marks on health inspections and quality measures. Staff turnover sits at 34%, better than the 45.8% national average, so the people caring for residents tend to stay. The last full inspection was September 2023, so the picture is somewhat dated. Corporate, for-profit ownership.
