Staff turnover

Wesley Glen runs on 6.28 nurse hours per resident day, about 63% above the national average of 3.86, and its weekend staffing only dips about 12% below weekday levels. Turnover sits at 42.3%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure, and the nonprofit has a clean inspection record on harm: 12 deficiencies total, none at the harm or jeopardy level, though 2 are abuse-related. CMS gives it 5 stars across health inspections, quality measures, and staffing, and its last inspection was in April 2026. The numbers say a well-staffed home with recent oversight and no serious harm findings, with those two abuse citations the main thing worth asking about directly.

The Robert A. Barnes Center runs 25 beds under church-related nonprofit ownership, and the staffing numbers stand out: 7.04 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 82% above the national average. Weekend coverage dips about 8% below its own weekday level, and turnover sits at 38.5%, better than the 45.8% national figure, though still meaning more than a third of staff leaving each year. The inspection record shows 21 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, but two tied to abuse, which families should ask about directly. A June 2025 inspection keeps the record current, and the four- and five-star ratings across health inspections, quality measures, and staffing back up what the numbers suggest.

Westerwood Rehabilitation sits at 75 certified beds in Columbus, run by a for-profit corporation. The numbers that stand out: nurse staffing at 4.32 hours per resident day, roughly 12% above the national average, and staff turnover near 31% against a national figure closer to 46%, a meaningful gap when consistent caregivers matter to families. Weekend coverage dips about 10% below weekday levels, which is common but worth asking about. The home carries 19 deficiencies on its current record, none at the harm level, though one is abuse-related. Its last inspection was February 2026, so the picture is recent.

Friendship Village Of Dublin runs 5.20 total nurse staffing hours per resident day, roughly a third more than the 3.86 national average, and weekends only dip about 9% below its own weekdays. That's a real cushion, and it's why staffing holds four stars. The quality measures are stronger still at five. What pulls against that picture is the inspection record: 20 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, though none tied to abuse. The most recent state visit was November 2024. So you're looking at a nonprofit home where day-to-day care capacity is clearly above par, but the survey history has some weight in it. Ask to see the plan of correction for that harm-level citation before you decide.

Worthington Christian Village runs 6.15 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 59% above the national average of 3.86, and that staffing level is the main thing separating it from most homes its size. Weekends dip about 12% below its own weekday coverage, and turnover sits at 50.9% against a national 45.8%, so the floor isn't perfectly steady even with the strong numbers. The current record shows 17 deficiencies, one of them serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, though none involve abuse. Its last inspection was in January 2026, and the quality and staffing ratings both come in at the top of CMS's scale.

Wesley Woods At New Albany runs just 16 certified beds under church-related nonprofit ownership, and the staffing numbers stand out: 7.12 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 84 percent above the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips about 18 percent below its own weekday level, so ask how that plays out on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover sits at 46.4 percent, essentially matching the national 45.8 percent. Twelve deficiencies appear on the current record, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, with the last inspection in June 2025. Small, well-staffed, and inspected recently, the tradeoff is that a 16-bed home has little room to absorb a bad week.

First Community Village in Columbus runs a nonprofit home with 47 beds, and its nurse staffing sits well above what most homes manage, about 5.06 hours per resident day against a national average near 3.86. That's a real edge, though weekends dip roughly 8% below its own weekday coverage, and turnover runs 51%, a bit above the 45.8% national figure. The tradeoff shows up in its record: 26 deficiencies, two of them at harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, plus one fine of $17,610. Its last inspection was June 2025. Quality measures score high; the inspection history is where the caution lives.

Ohio Living Westminster-Thurber runs lean on paper in a way that mostly holds up, 5.18 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a third more than the national average, and that's the main reason it lands where it does. The trouble sits elsewhere. Staff turnover is 58.7%, well above the 45.8% national figure, and weekend coverage drops about 13% from weekday levels, so the hours aren't spread evenly. On inspections, 27 deficiencies include one at harm level and six tied to abuse, with a $14,680 fine on record. Quality measures score high; the inspection history is what pulls it down.

Serious cites

Mother Angeline McCrory Manor runs on better-than-average nurse staffing, 4.09 hours per resident day, about 6% above the national figure, and its quality and staffing ratings both come in at 4 out of 5. But weekend coverage drops roughly 8% below weekday levels, and annual turnover sits at 48.2%, slightly worse than the 45.8% national average. The bigger concern is the inspection record: 51 deficiencies, three tied to abuse, and a 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating, with the most recent survey completed in July 2025. Nonprofit church ownership doesn't erase that pattern. Strong daily care hours and weak oversight can coexist, and here they do.

Norwich Springs runs a 54-bed for-profit home in Hilliard with nurse staffing at 4.16 hours per resident day, about 8% above the national average, though weekends run roughly 14% leaner than weekdays. Staff turnover sits at 46.9%, essentially level with the national figure. The current inspection record shows 12 deficiencies with none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, and the last survey was in May 2024. Federal ratings put quality measures at 5 out of 5 and staffing at 4 out of 5, with health inspections at 3. The picture is a decently staffed home with a clean harm record, held back mainly by that middling inspection history.

Grand The in Dublin runs 128 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its inspection record is the first thing that stands out: 66 deficiencies, two of them serious enough to cause harm or jeopardy, plus three tied to abuse. The last inspection was March 17, 2026, so that record is recent, not stale. Nurse staffing sits at 3.61 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 7% below the home's own weekday coverage, the stretches when families often visit. Turnover at 40.8% is actually better than the 45.8% national figure. The five-star quality measure score reflects charted care, not the inspection findings, and those two numbers are telling different stories here.

Smiths Mill runs a corporation-owned home of 58 beds where the care numbers pull in two directions. The clinical quality scores look strong, but staffing sits at 3.57 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, weekends run about 13% thinner than weekdays, and more than half the nursing staff turns over each year, 56.7% versus 45.8% nationally. The inspection record is the bigger concern: 51 deficiencies, three tied to abuse, and a two-star health inspection rating. None of those reached actual harm, and the last survey was recent, in April 2026. Consistency of caregivers is the question mark here.

Staff turnover
47%
Serious cites

Taylor Springs Health Campus runs below the national average on nurse staffing, 3.58 hours per resident day against 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 15% below its own weekday coverage, which matters most when families visit and fewer eyes are watching. The inspection record shows 36 deficiencies, including two at the harm level and one tied to abuse, plus a $17,225 fine; that history sits behind a 2-star health inspection rating even though the quality measure score is perfect at 5 stars. Staff turnover of 46.8% is slightly above the national average, so the people providing care change often, and the most recent inspection was in April 2025.
