Centerville Health and Rehab is a 120-bed for-profit home in Dayton, and the staffing numbers are the first thing I'd flag. At 3.03 nurse hours per resident per day, it runs about 21% below the national average, with weekends even thinner than weekdays. That thin coverage shows up in a 66.7% annual turnover rate, well above the 45.8% national figure, meaning the aides and nurses caring for your family member are, more often than not, new to the building. On the plus side, the quality measure rating is strong and no deficiency reached actual harm. But 56 deficiencies, five abuse-related, and a recent July 2025 inspection mean I'd ask hard questions before moving anyone in.
Country Club Retirement Ctr Iv carries a one-star health inspection rating and a one-star staffing rating, and the numbers behind those marks are worth sitting with. State inspectors logged 45 deficiencies, four of them serious enough to involve actual harm or jeopardy, and three tied to abuse. Staff turnover runs at 69.8% a year against a national average of 45.8%, which means the people caring for residents are, more often than not, new to the building. The quality measure score is high, but that reflects charted care, not the hands available to deliver it. A for-profit limited liability company operates the 62-bed home, and its last full inspection was September 2024.
Park Vista runs on thin nurse staffing, 3.14 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends dipping further below its own weekday level. That shortfall shows up in the numbers that track workers: 72.5% annual turnover, well above the 45.8% national figure, and a one-star CMS staffing rating. The inspection record is heavier still: 63 deficiencies, including two at the harm level and one abuse-related, plus a $24,876 fine, with the most recent inspection in February 2025. Quality measures rate better at three stars, but the corporate owner's record here is mostly a staffing and compliance story. Families should ask direct questions about who's on the floor on weekends and how long the current director of nursing has been in place.
Saint Luke Lutheran Home is a 166-bed nonprofit in North Canton, but nonprofit status isn't shielding residents here. Nurse staffing sits at 3.71 hours per resident day, under the national average, and weekends run thinner than weekdays. The bigger flag is turnover: 81.7% annually, far above the 45.8% national figure, meaning caregivers are constantly changing. Its inspection record shows 85 deficiencies, four at harm or jeopardy level, seven abuse-related, and one fine near $98,000. CMS has placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, reserved for the poorest performers. The last inspection was January 2023, so that record is getting old, which matters when you're weighing how current the picture really is.
Continuing Healthcare At Forest Hill runs 88 certified beds in St. Clairsville under corporate ownership, and the staffing numbers are the first thing to look at. At 3.04 nurse hours per resident day, it sits roughly 21 percent under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 11 percent below its own weekday level. That thin coverage shows up in the federal staffing rating of 1 out of 5, and turnover runs 56.3 percent against a national 45.8 percent, more than half the nursing staff leaving in a year. The current record carries 45 deficiencies, two of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy. Its last inspection was in January 2026.
The Gardens of St. Francis runs on 1.48 nurse staffing hours per resident day, roughly 62% below the national average, and weekend coverage drops about 15% below what it manages on weekdays. Turnover sits at 65.6% against a national rate of 45.8%, so a large share of the staff you'd meet is relatively new. The record shows 40 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, plus a $45,250 fine. Inspections are recent, and the quality measure score is strong, but that staffing number is the one worth weighing hardest.
Wesleyan Village runs 3.42 nurse hours per resident per day, about 11% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 12% below its own weekday staffing. That thin coverage is paired with 66% annual turnover against a national 45.8%, so the people at the bedside keep changing. The inspection record is the harder problem: 54 deficiencies, six at harm or jeopardy level, four tied to abuse, and $219,798 in fines across two penalties, with the most recent inspection in February 2025. A five-star quality measure score sits alongside one-star inspection and staffing ratings, which is worth asking about directly, since quality scores depend on the staff actually documenting and delivering care.
Springfield Nursing & Independent Living runs on 3.10 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly a fifth below the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage drops about 9% below its own weekday level. Staff turnover sits at 78.6% against a national 45.8%, meaning most of the people caring for residents this year likely won't be there next year. The inspection record shows 50 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, plus an $85,067 fine. The last inspection was May 2024, so that record is fairly recent. Quality measures score well, but staffing and inspections tell the harder story.
Country Club Center I runs 72 beds in Dover under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing numbers are where the trouble starts. At 3.78 nurse hours per resident day it sits just under the national average, but weekends drop about 14% below its own weekday levels, and turnover hits 83.8% against a national 45.8%, meaning most of the people caring for residents this year won't be there next year. The inspection record is worse: 90 deficiencies, six at harm or jeopardy level, eight abuse-related, and CMS has placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, reserved for the country's most persistently poor performers. Three fines totaling $31,371 are on file.
The Arc At Cincinnati runs 3.56 nurse staffing hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 17% below its own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts are when families tend to visit. Annual turnover hits 58.3% compared to 45.8% nationally, meaning many of the people caring for residents are still learning the building. The current inspection record carries 85 deficiencies, including 7 at harm or jeopardy level and 8 tied to abuse, with $233,690 in federal fines. CMS has placed this for-profit LLC home in its Special Focus Facility program, and its last inspection was December 2025.
