Galena Nursing & Rehab runs 45 beds under corporate ownership, and the numbers that stand out most aren't the staffing hours, 3.81 per resident day is only about 1% under the national average, but who's still there to work them. Turnover sits at 66%, well above the 45.8% national figure, and weekends run roughly 15% thinner than weekdays, so coverage gaps land hardest when families visit. The inspection record is the bigger concern: 18 deficiencies, including 3 at harm or jeopardy level and 4 tied to abuse, plus a $21,645 fine. The most recent inspection was April 2025, so the picture is current, not stale.
Edwardsville Care And Rehab runs on 2.24 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 42% under the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage drops about 11% below its own weekday level. Staff turnover is 22%, well under the national 45.8%, so the people who are there tend to stay. The trouble is what inspections found: 36 deficiencies on the current record, including 3 at harm or jeopardy level and 2 abuse-related, plus $47,163 in fines across three penalties, with the last inspection in August 2024. Resident outcome measures score well, but the health inspection side is where the risk sits.
Heritage Health Care Center runs a 60-bed for-profit operation in Chanute, and the staffing is the one bright spot: 4.15 nurse hours per resident day, about 7% above the national average, and turnover at 41.7% actually beats the national 45.8%. The weekend picture is weaker, staffing drops roughly 13% below its own weekday level, so care thins out when families tend to visit. The inspection record is the real concern: 30 deficiencies on file, including two at the harm level and one abuse-related, plus two fines totaling $27,860. State surveyors were last in on August 6, 2025.
The for-profit LLC that runs Azria Health Great Bend staffs at 3.46 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 10 percent under the national average, and weekends run about 14 percent thinner than weekdays, which is when families tend to visit and notice. The inspection record shows 33 deficiencies right now, four of them serious enough to put residents in harm's or jeopardy's path, and two tied to abuse. Four fines total $59,830, and a July 2025 inspection is recent enough that those findings reflect how the home operates today. Staff turnover sits at 47.4 percent, a bit above the national average, meaning the people caring for your relative keep changing. All three CMS star ratings, health inspections, quality measures, staffing, land at 2 out of 5.
Medicalodges Arkansas City runs 45 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.90 hours per resident day, barely a whisker above the national average of 3.86. That thin margin matters more when you look at weekends, which run about 13% leaner than weekdays, and at a turnover rate of 73.5% against a national figure of 45.8%. The inspection record is where the real trouble sits: 35 deficiencies on file, five of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, six tied to abuse, plus three fines totaling $72,592. State inspectors last walked through in June 2025 and rated the health inspection side 1 out of 5.
The nurse staffing number at The Gardens At Aldersgate looks fine on its face, 4.01 hours per resident day, slightly above the national average, but the turnover rate tells a different story. At 64.2%, roughly three in five caregivers are leaving each year, well past the national figure of 45.8%, and weekend coverage drops about 7% below what the home runs on weekdays. The inspection record is the harder problem: 56 deficiencies, four serious enough to cause harm or jeopardy, four tied to abuse, and three fines totaling $56,617, with the most recent inspection in January 2026. A for-profit LLC operation with that citation history and 175 beds is worth a close, unannounced visit before you decide anything.
Nurse staffing at this Hays home runs about 4.11 hours per resident day, roughly 7% above the national average, so direct care hours aren't the problem. The problem shows up nearly everywhere else: staff turnover hit 91.8% against a national average of 45.8%, meaning the people delivering that care are largely new and constantly changing. The inspection record carries 46 deficiencies, including two at harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, with $73,576 in fines and a 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating; ownership also changed within the past year. Weekend staffing drops about 8% below weekday levels. High turnover plus a serious deficiency history is a pattern worth asking about directly before you decide.
Medicalodges Great Bend runs leaner than most on turnover, 53.7% of staff leave each year against a national average of 45.8%, which means nearly half the people caring for your family member this year may not be there next year. The staffing hours look good on paper (4.53 per resident day, about 17% above the national average), but weekends drop roughly 17% from weekday levels, and 43 deficiencies sit on the current record, including seven at the harm level and four tied to abuse. Four fines totaling $52,185 have been levied since the last inspection in July 2024.
Nurse staffing at The Healthcare Resort Of Kansas City runs 4.34 hours per resident day, roughly 13% above the national average, but the workforce behind those hours churns hard, 60.4% turnover against a national 45.8%. Weekends drop about 15% below weekday coverage. The inspection record is the bigger problem: a 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating, 55 deficiencies logged, three of them at harm or jeopardy level and five tied to abuse. One fine totaling $28,834 is on file. Ownership is a for-profit limited liability company, and the most recent inspection was May 2026. Strong quality measure scores don't offset that history.
Grand Plains Skilled Nursing By Americare in Pratt runs on 4.17 nurse hours per resident day, about 8% above the national average, so the raw staffing number looks fine. The trouble is how it holds up: weekend staffing drops roughly 18% below the home's own weekday level, and annual turnover sits at 64.2% against a national average of 45.8%. That's a lot of new faces cycling through a 60-bed building. The current inspection record carries 17 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, with one fine of $14,352 and a survey from March 2025. Ownership is a for-profit limited liability company. All three CMS star ratings, health inspection, quality measures, staffing, come in at 2 out of 5.
Parkwood runs on 3.04 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a fifth under the national average, and weekends drop about 11% below what it manages during the week. That thin coverage shows up in the numbers: a one-star staffing rating, 54.2% annual turnover against a national 45.8%, and 25 deficiencies on record, seven serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, four tied to abuse. Ownership is for-profit and individual, and the last inspection was January 8, 2026. The quality measure rating of three stars suggests some clinical benchmarks land where they should, but that's a narrow bright spot against staffing, inspection history, and the $10,209 in fines.
Tradewater Pointe runs a lean operation in Dawson Springs, with 4.86 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 26% above the national average, and its most recent inspection in March 2026 found six deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level. The catch is who's delivering that care over time: annual turnover sits at 70.5% against a national average of 45.8%, and weekend staffing drops about 14% below weekday levels, so the faces and the coverage both thin out regularly. One abuse-related deficiency also shows up on the record. Ownership is a for-profit limited liability company, and the quality measure star rating sits at 1 out of 5 despite a 4 out of 5 on inspections, worth asking about before you decide.
Shady Lawn runs about 3.46 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 10% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip another 8% below its own weekday numbers, worth asking about if your family visits mainly on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover sits at 50%, a bit above the 45.8% national figure, so continuity of caregivers may be a real question. The inspection record is genuinely strong: eight deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related, and the most recent survey was July 2025. The tradeoff is in quality measures, which come in low despite that clean inspection history, a split worth understanding before you decide.
Madison Health and Rehabilitation Center runs 92 certified beds in Richmond under corporate for-profit ownership, and the staffing numbers are the first thing to look at. Nurse coverage sits at 3.56 hours per resident per day, roughly 8% under the national average, and weekends drop about 9% below what the home staffs on weekdays. Annual turnover is 51.6% against a national 45.8%, so aides and nurses are cycling through steadily.
The inspection record shows 12 deficiencies, two of them serious enough to cite harm or jeopardy, though none abuse-related. CMS rates the home 2 out of 5 on health inspections and 1 out of 5 on both quality measures and staffing. The most recent inspection was July 2025, so the picture is current.
South Shore Nursing and Rehabilitation runs 60 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing numbers sit below where you'd want them. Total nurse coverage is about 3.58 hours per resident day, roughly 7% under the national average, and weekends drop another 13% below its own weekday level, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Annual turnover is 52.5%, well above the 45.8% national figure, which matters because unfamiliar aides can miss subtle changes. The inspection record is genuinely decent: a four-star health inspection rating with 12 deficiencies and none at harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related. Quality measures and staffing both come in at two stars. The most recent inspection was July 2025.
Irvine Nursing and Rehabilitation Center runs 86 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers show a home doing the basics without much cushion. Nurse staffing sits at 3.59 hours per resident day, about 7% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 13% below its own weekday coverage, that's when families tend to notice. Staff turnover of 47.3% edges past the national rate of 45.8%, meaning aides and nurses cycle through faster than average. Ten deficiencies on record, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in February 2025. Nothing here reads as dangerous; it reads as thin.
Woodland Oaks runs a 110-bed for-profit operation in Ashland with a clean recent inspection record, five deficiencies on the books, none causing harm or involving abuse, and the state was last out in May 2026. That's the good news. The staffing side is thinner: 3.77 nurse hours per resident day, a bit under the national average, and weekends drop about 12% below what the home staffs on weekdays. Turnover sits at 48.9%, roughly three points above the national figure, which means familiar faces are harder to keep. The inspection score looks strong, but the day-to-day coverage and the 2/5 quality measure rating are where families should focus their questions.
Kensington runs about 3.63 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 6% under the national average, and weekends drop another 13% below its own weekday staffing. That thin coverage shows up in its staffing rating, which sits at the bottom of CMS's scale, and in turnover: nearly 59% of staff leave within a year, well above the 45.8% national figure. The inspection record is cleaner than those numbers might suggest. Twenty-seven deficiencies are on file, but none involved actual harm or jeopardy, and none were abuse-related. State inspectors were last in the building in March 2025. For-profit, limited-liability ownership, 82 beds, in Elizabethtown. The pattern reads as a home that isn't dangerous so much as thinly staffed and constantly retraining.
Haven Nursing Center runs 4.15 nurse hours per resident day, about 8% above the national average of 3.86, but weekends drop roughly 12% below its own weekday staffing, and annual turnover sits at 97.6% against a national average of 45.8%. Essentially the whole staff turns over every year. The 19 deficiencies on record include none at the harm level, though 2 are abuse-related, and the last inspection was May 2025. The quality measure rating is 1 out of 5, which is where the low overall grade comes from. A corporate-owned, 99-bed home in Columbia with decent weekday coverage but real questions about consistency.
Lake Charles Care Center runs 182 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.36 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 13% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop about 14% below its own weekday level, and turnover hits 51.7% against a national 45.8%.
The inspection record is the bright spot: a 4/5 health inspection rating, last survey in May 2025, with 11 deficiencies on file but none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related. Quality measures tell a different story at 1/5, with staffing at 2/5. So you have a home that passes inspections cleanly while running lean on direct care and posting weaker clinical quality numbers, worth asking about weekend coverage and consistent assignment before you decide.
