Staff turnover

Bethel Health Care Center runs on 4.91 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly a quarter more staffing than the typical American nursing home. That time holds up reasonably well on weekends, dipping about 14% below its own weekday level, and only 31.3% of staff left last year against a national average near 46%. The inspection record is clean where it counts: five deficiencies total, none involving harm or jeopardy and none tied to abuse, with the most recent survey in December 2024. Three straight five-star ratings across health inspections, quality measures, and staffing, run by a nonprofit corporation, describe a home that is well-staffed, stable, and currently in good standing.

Lone Tree Retirement in Meade runs 4.73 nurse hours per resident day, about 23% above the national average, and that staffing shows: the federal staffing rating comes in at 5 out of 5, with turnover at 39.6%, lower than the 45.8% national figure. Weekend coverage dips roughly 9% below its own weekday level, so ask how that plays out on Sundays. The catch is the inspection record: 18 deficiencies, one involving actual harm, with the last survey in August 2025. Quality measures score 5 out of 5, but that one harm-level finding and a 3-out-of-5 inspection rating are what hold this for-profit home back.

Nottingham Health and Rehabilitation runs 4.74 nurse hours per resident day, about 23% above the national average of 3.86, and its staff turnover sits at 34.3%, well under the 45.8% national figure, meaning the people caring for residents tend to stay. The 14 deficiencies on record include none at the harm level and none related to abuse, and the last inspection was April 8, 2026. Weekend staffing dips about 11% below its weekday level, which is common but worth asking about if you're planning visits on Saturdays or Sundays. For-profit individual ownership, 80 beds.

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.

Moundridge Manor runs on church-affiliated nonprofit ownership and 4.86 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter more staffing than the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips about 17% below its own weekday level, which is worth asking about if your family visits Saturdays or Sundays. Staff turnover is 19.8%, less than half the national 45.8%, so the people caring for residents tend to stay. The record isn't spotless: seven deficiencies, two of them at harm or jeopardy level, and one fine of $20,295. No abuse citations, and the last inspection was September 2024. Strong staffing and low turnover are doing real work here; the harm-level findings are the part to raise directly with the administrator.

Wesley Towers runs on more nursing hours than most homes in the country, 4.00 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and its staff tends to stay, with turnover at 41.9% versus 45.8% nationally. The tradeoff shows up on weekends, when coverage drops about 12% below its own weekday level, so ask how that plays out on a Sunday afternoon. Its last inspection was in March 2026, and the record shows 12 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related and worth asking about directly.

At 5.08 nurse hours per resident day, it runs about a third above the national average, and weekend coverage dips only slightly below its own weekday level, which is better than many homes manage. Staff turnover sits at 31%, well under the national 45.8%, so the people caring for residents tend to stick around. The 14 deficiencies on record include none at the harm level and none related to abuse, and the most recent inspection was in March 2025.

Bethesda Home in Goessel runs on a nonprofit model with 57 certified beds, and the numbers behind its record are worth walking through. Nurse staffing sits at 3.85 hours per resident day, essentially level with the national average of 3.86, though weekend coverage drops about 16% below what the home provides on weekdays, worth asking about if your family member needs care on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover is the standout: 31.6% against a national average of 45.8%, meaning caregivers here tend to stay.

Bethel Home sits in Montezuma, Kansas, a 56-bed nonprofit run by a church group. The numbers that matter most here are the people: nurses provide 4.58 hours of care per resident each day, roughly 19 percent above the national average, and only 28.6 percent of staff leave annually against a national rate near 46 percent. That kind of retention usually shows up in how consistently residents see the same faces. Inspections in January 2025 turned up 15 deficiencies, including one causing harm and one tied to abuse, so there's real room for improvement despite the strong staffing and quality ratings. Weekend coverage dips about 13 percent below weekdays, worth asking about if your family visits then.

Lawrence Presbyterian Manor runs 40 certified beds as a nonprofit corporation, and its nurse staffing sits at 5.83 hours per resident day, roughly half again what the typical American nursing home provides. Weekend coverage dips only slightly below weekday levels, so care doesn't thin out much when families visit. What pulls against that picture is turnover: 53.7% of staff leave each year, well above the 45.8% national figure, and the home carries 15 deficiencies on its current record, one tied to abuse, though none rose to the level of actual harm or jeopardy. Its last inspection was in February 2026, and CMS rates it 3 of 5 on health inspections but 4 of 5 on both quality measures and staffing.

Bethany Home Association runs a lean, well-staffed operation. At 5.34 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 38% above the national average, and its staff turnover of 34% beats the national 45.8%, people tend to stay. The 20 deficiencies on record sound like a lot until you notice none reached harm or jeopardy level and none involved abuse, so they read more like paperwork and process issues than resident safety problems. Weekend staffing dips roughly 14% below its own weekday level, which is common but worth asking about. A 4-out-of-5 health inspection star and a recent August 2024 survey round out a picture of a nonprofit that's stable and adequately watched.

Tallgrass Creek sits in Overland Park with 44 certified beds, run by a for-profit limited liability company. The staffing numbers are the strongest part of the picture: 4.87 total nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter above the national average of 3.86, though weekend coverage drops about 12% below its own weekday level. Staff turnover of 43.1% edges just under the national rate of 45.8%. What pulls the record down is the inspection history. Seventeen deficiencies are on file, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, plus a $7,446 fine. The most recent inspection was February 2026. Strong daily staffing and a five-star health inspection rating sit alongside a deficiency record that includes the most serious category CMS tracks.

Pioneer Manor is county-owned, and the staffing numbers show it: 4.68 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a fifth above the national average, and a five-star staffing rating to match. Turnover sits at 37.3%, better than the 45.8% national figure, though weekend coverage dips about 12% below weekday levels, so care can thin out on Saturdays and Sundays. The trouble is inspections. The current record carries 23 deficiencies, three of them at the level where a resident was harmed or put in immediate jeopardy, and one abuse-related. The health inspection rating is 1 out of 5, and the most recent survey was in December 2024. Strong staffing is real, but it hasn't kept the home out of serious trouble.

Weekend coverage dips about 7 percent below its own weekday level, so the strong overall number isn't perfectly even across the week. The inspection history carries 20 deficiencies, one of them serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy, though none involve abuse, and the most recent inspection was May 2026.

Brewster Health Center runs on church-affiliated nonprofit ownership and staffs well above average, 5.70 nurse hours per resident day against a national 3.86, roughly half again the typical home. That staffing depth shows up in the four-out-of-five staffing rating and a perfect quality measure score, and the inspection record is recent, from June 2025, with nineteen deficiencies but none rising to harm or jeopardy. Two abuse-related citations are worth asking about directly. The real soft spots are turnover at 53.1 percent, higher than the 45.8 percent national figure, and weekend coverage that drops about 11 percent below weekday levels. Ask how they hold staffing steady on Saturdays and Sundays.

Paramount Community Living and Rehab runs about 5.60 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 45% above the national average, and weekend staffing holds within about 8% of weekday levels, better continuity than many homes manage. Turnover sits at 40.3%, a bit below the national 45.8%, which matters for residents who value seeing the same faces. The tradeoff shows up in the inspection record: 33 deficiencies on file, one tied to abuse, though none reached harm or jeopardy, and the last inspection was recent enough to trust. For a nonprofit with 101 beds in Newton, the staffing investment is real; the survey history is the part worth asking about directly.

Schowalter Villa runs on a nurse staffing level that's roughly a third higher than what's typical nationally, and its staff tends to stick around far longer than the average home, turnover sits near 31% against a national figure closer to 46%. The nonprofit's inspection record backs that up: a clean five-star health inspection rating, with six deficiencies on file and none involving harm, jeopardy, or abuse, last surveyed in November 2024. Weekend coverage dips slightly, about 7% below weekday levels, which is common but worth knowing if you're visiting then. The weaker spot is the quality measure rating, just two stars, suggesting the clinical outcome data isn't keeping pace with the strong staffing and inspection marks.

Brookdale Rosehill runs 92 certified beds in Shawnee, and the numbers hold up better than most. Nurse staffing sits at 3.94 hours per resident day, just above the national average, though weekends run about 7% thinner than weekdays, worth asking about if your family visits Saturdays. Staff turnover is 40%, below the national 45.8%, which suggests people stay. The 36 deficiencies on record sound like a lot until you see none reached harm or jeopardy level and none involved abuse; that's paperwork and process issues, not resident safety. The last inspection was December 2025, so the picture is current. Corporate for-profit ownership, but the direct-care numbers are what families actually feel.
