White Oak Health Campus sits in Monticello with 61 certified beds and corporate for-profit ownership. Nurse staffing runs 4.07 hours per resident day, about 5% above the national average, though weekends dip roughly 9% below its own weekday levels, worth asking about if your family member needs care on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover is 29.8%, well below the national 45.8%, which suggests people tend to stay. The inspection record shows 11 deficiencies, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection dated June 2026.

Chautauqua Guest Home #2 runs a 53-bed operation in Charles City, and the staffing numbers are the strongest part of its case. At 4.02 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 4% above the national average, and the weekend dip of roughly 10% below its own weekday level is modest, worth knowing, but not alarming. Turnover lands at 41.3%, slightly better than the 45.8% national figure, which suggests the crew sticks around better than most. Two deficiencies on record, one serious enough to involve actual harm, is the item that deserves a direct question when you visit. The most recent inspection was September 2025, so the picture is current.

Kanawha Community Home runs a tight ship for a 26-bed for-profit in Hancock County. Nurse staffing sits at 4.52 hours per resident day, roughly 17 percent above the national average, and the health inspection record is clean where it counts: three deficiencies total, none at the harm or jeopardy level, none tied to abuse, with the last inspection in September 2025. Staff turnover lands at 38.5 percent against a national average near 46, which for this industry is stability, not churn. The one soft spot is weekends, when coverage dips about 8 percent below the home's own weekday levels. A small building with low turnover and steady weekday staffing can absorb that; families should still ask who's on duty Saturday and Sunday.

Community Care Center in Stuart runs a tight ship on staff retention, 20.4% turnover is less than half the national average of 45.8%, which means the people caring for residents tend to stick around. That stability shows up in the quality and staffing star ratings, both 5 out of 5. The tradeoff is that daily nurse staffing sits at 3.48 hours per resident, about 10% under the national figure, and weekends dip roughly 10% below what the home itself provides on weekdays. Twelve deficiencies appear on the current record, none at the harm level, though three are abuse-related. The last inspection was December 2025, so the picture is recent.

0

The Gardens of Cedar Rapids runs 40 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.16 hours per resident day, roughly 8% above the national average of 3.86. That staffing edge is the strongest thing the home has going for it, though weekend coverage dips about 12% below its own weekday level, so care can thin out when families visit. Turnover lands at 40.9%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure. The harder reading comes from inspections: 17 deficiencies on record, 3 at harm or jeopardy level and 5 tied to abuse, with one fine totaling $19,383. The last inspection was January 22, 2026. Strong staffing, but the inspection history is what a family should ask about directly.

Wellington Health and Rehab runs a tight ship on inspections, a five-star health inspection rating and 12 deficiencies on record, none of them serious enough to cause harm and none tied to abuse. Staffing is the softer spot: 3.48 nurse hours per resident day sits about 10% under the national average, and weekends dip roughly another 10% below the home's own weekday coverage. Turnover, though, is genuinely low at 33.3% against a 45.8% national figure, which suggests people stay. For a 44-bed for-profit LLC, the pattern reads as a stable, well-run building that could stand to add nursing hours, especially on weekends.

The Willows At Citation runs on 4.04 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 5% above the national average, with weekend coverage dropping only about 4% below its own weekday level, a fairly small dip. Staff turnover sits at 38.5%, below the 45.8% national figure, which matters for consistency of care. Nine deficiencies appear on the current record, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection dated June 2025. CMS gives it 5 stars for quality measures and 4 for staffing, against 3 for health inspections, so the weaker mark is in the inspection history rather than in day-to-day staffing or clinical measures.

Staff turnover
31%
Serious cites
0

Katahdin Health Care runs 4.04 nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the national average of 3.86, and weekend staffing dips about 10% below its own weekday levels, worth asking about, since weekends are when families often visit. Staff turnover sits at 31% against a national average near 46%, which matters for whether you see the same faces month to month. The 20 deficiencies on record include none at the harm level and none abuse-related, and the most recent inspection was March 2026. For a 36-bed for-profit home in Millinocket, those numbers describe steady, well-supervised care rather than a place coasting on reputation.

Gorham House runs 69 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing numbers are the real story here, 4.84 nurse hours per resident day puts it roughly a quarter above the national average of 3.86. That's a genuine cushion, though weekend coverage dips about 9% below weekdays, and turnover sits at 52.6% against a national 45.8%, meaning a lot of those hours come from people still learning the building. The inspection record is mixed: 24 deficiencies on file, none at harm level but two tied to abuse, with the most recent survey dated February 2026. Quality and staffing measures both rate well; the health inspection side is where the caution lives.

Sanfield Rehab & Living Center is a small for-profit home in Hartland, 23 beds, and its staffing is the standout. At 4.57 nurse hours per resident day, it runs about 18% above the national average, and weekend coverage dips only modestly below weekdays. Turnover sits at 34.3%, well under the 45.8% national figure, which suggests a steadier crew than many places its size. The tradeoff shows in its record: 16 deficiencies, including one abuse-related citation, though none rose to harm or jeopardy level. State inspectors visited most recently in July 2025 and rated health inspections 4 out of 5. For a family weighing a small rural home, the staffing numbers are the real signal here.

Chestnut Grn Hlth Ctr in Towson runs about 4.66 nursing hours per resident each day, roughly a fifth more than the national average, which is the main reason its staffing rating sits at the top of the scale. Turnover is 36.7 percent against a national 45.8, so fewer caregivers are walking out the door than at the typical home. The 20 deficiencies on record include nothing at the harm or jeopardy level and nothing abuse-related, and the last inspection came in December 2025. Weekend hours dip about 8 percent below weekday levels, worth asking about if your family visits Saturdays or Sundays. It's a for-profit partnership, and the quality measure rating lands in the middle at 3 out of 5.

Life Care Center of Wilbraham runs 123 beds as a for-profit partnership, and its staffing sits just under the national average at 3.83 nurse hours per resident day. Weekends thin out about 10% below weekdays, so if you're visiting or calling on a Saturday, expect less coverage than midweek. Turnover is the brighter spot: 33.9% against a national 45.8%, which suggests a steadier crew than most places. The record shows 33 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the last inspection in March 2025. Quality measures score well; the health inspection side is more middling.

Life Care Center of Plymouth runs on a for-profit LLC model with 150 certified beds, and the numbers hold up well. Nurse staffing sits at 4.07 hours per resident day, roughly 5% above the national average, and the 28.2% annual turnover is notably lower than the 45.8% national figure, though weekend coverage dips about 12% below weekday levels. The inspection record is clean where it matters: six deficiencies total, none at the harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related, and the most recent inspection was March 2025. Five stars on both health inspections and quality measures, four on staffing. Families looking at Plymouth County should know this home's weak spot is weekend consistency, not safety.

Lydia Taft House runs on better-than-average nurse coverage, 4.16 hours per resident day against a national mark of 3.86, and its staff turnover sits below the national figure at 38.3%, which matters because consistent caregivers tend to know residents' routines and catch changes early. That said, weekend staffing drops roughly 13% from weekday levels, so the question worth asking is who's actually on the floor on a Saturday. The inspection record is clean where it counts: seven deficiencies, none causing harm or tied to abuse, and a survey as recent as September 2025. The corporate owner is for-profit, so ask how decisions get made locally.

Whittier Westborough runs a 19-bed transitional care unit, and the numbers that stand out most are its staffing: 6.82 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 77% above the national average of 3.86. That kind of ratio is unusual, and the five-star staffing rating reflects it. Weekend coverage dips about 12% below weekday levels, so care may feel thinner on Saturdays and Sundays. Turnover sits at 45.5%, essentially matching the national rate rather than exceeding it. The home carries six deficiencies, none involving harm or abuse, and its most recent inspection was in May 2025. Corporate for-profit ownership is worth noting, but the inspection and quality measure ratings both come in at four stars.

St. Otto's runs about 4.17 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 8% above the national average, and weekends dip only about 13% below its own weekday staffing, a modest drop rather than the steep falloff common elsewhere. Staff turnover sits at 28.2%, well under the 45.8% national figure, which suggests people tend to stay. The current record shows four deficiencies, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, following an inspection in December 2025. Ownership is corporate for-profit. The weaker spot is quality measures, which land in the middle of the pack even as the health inspection side holds up.

Delmar Gardens of O'Fallon runs on more nurse hours than most homes, 4.20 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and staffing barely dips on weekends. Turnover sits at 42.7%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for whether your parent sees the same faces. The trouble is the inspection record: 39 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, and a 2-out-of-5 health inspection rating from CMS. The 5/5 quality measure score reflects clinical metrics like falls and infections, not the survey findings. A for-profit LLC operates the building. Five stars on quality measures with a two-star inspection history is a split record worth asking about directly.

Southwest Montana Veterans Home in Butte runs 4.34 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 13% above the national average, and that staffing shows up in the numbers CMS cares about. Turnover is the weak spot: 53.9% of staff leave annually, well above the 45.8% national figure, and weekend coverage drops about 12% below weekday levels, worth asking about if your visits would fall on Saturdays or Sundays. The inspection record shows 18 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, though the most recent inspection was recent and the home earns strong marks on health and quality measures.

Silver State Pediatric in Las Vegas runs on unusually deep nurse coverage, 7.00 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekend staffing holds essentially level with weekdays, which is rare. That staffing shows up in the numbers: 15 deficiencies on record, but none at the harm or jeopardy level and none related to abuse. Staff turnover sits at 42.6%, slightly better than the national 45.8%. It's a for-profit LLC with 36 beds, and its last inspection was February 2026, so the record is current. The low patient count and pediatric focus mean fewer residents share that staffing pool, which matters for how much attention each child actually gets.

Careone at the Highlands sits in Edison with 122 certified beds and runs about 4.03 nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip roughly 9% below its own weekday staffing, so coverage thins out when families tend to visit. The turnover picture is the real standout: 23.7% annually against a national average of 45.8%, meaning aides and nurses here tend to stick around. Inspections in May 2025 turned up 27 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, though three were abuse-related, worth asking about directly. Quality measures score 5/5, staffing 4/5, inspections 3/5. Steady hands, decent numbers, with a few things to press on.
