River Ridge runs leaner than most. At 3.12 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 19% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop another 13% below its own weekday levels, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Staff turnover is 67.9% against a national 45.8%, meaning roughly two of every three caregivers left within the year. The inspection history is the harder read: 37 deficiencies on the current record, four tied to abuse, and a one-star health inspection rating, though none of those deficiencies rose to harm or jeopardy level. A single $3,387 fine is on file, and the last inspection was March 2025.
Elderwood at Ticonderoga is a for-profit, LLC-run home with 84 certified beds in Essex County, and its staffing is the number that stands out: 3.01 nurse hours per resident day, about 22 percent under the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage runs roughly 9 percent thinner than weekdays, and turnover sits at 48.6 percent against a national 45.8 percent. The current inspection record shows 27 deficiencies, two of them abuse-related, though none rose to harm or jeopardy level, and CMS has fined the home once for $4,516. Its last inspection was July 15, 2024. All three CMS star ratings, health inspections, quality measures, and staffing, sit at 2 out of 5.
Palatine Nursing Home runs on 2.37 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 39 percent under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop another 5 percent below its own weekday level. Federal data gives it the lowest staffing rating, and turnover sits at 61 percent against a national 45.8, meaning most of the aides and nurses your family would see are new or on their way out. The inspection record shows 15 deficiencies, none rising to harm or jeopardy, though one is abuse-related. A for-profit LLC operates its 70 beds, and the last state inspection was January 22, 2026. Ask about weekend coverage and actual caregiver retention before deciding.
West Lawrence Care Center runs on thin staffing. At 2.55 nurse hours per resident per day, it sits roughly a third below the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 8% below its own weekday level, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. The current record shows 32 deficiencies, five of them abuse-related, though none rose to actual harm or jeopardy. Inspectors were last in on August 4, 2025. This is a 215-bed for-profit LLC in Far Rockaway, and its turnover rate, 46.2%, is essentially the national norm, which tells you the staffing problem isn't mainly about retention, it's about how few hours the building budgets in the first place. Ask what the afternoon and weekend aide-to-resident ratios actually look like before you decide.
Bladen East runs about 7% below the national average for nurse staffing, and weekends dip roughly 10% below its own weekday levels, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Staff turnover sits at 51.7%, above the national 45.8%, which means many of the people caring for residents are still new to the building. The inspection record shows 10 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, plus two fines totaling $13,130. The most recent inspection was March 2025, so the picture is current. Federal quality measures rate poorly here even as inspections rate well, a split worth asking about directly.
Belaire runs about 3.45 nurse hours per resident each day, roughly 11 percent under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop another 10 percent below its own weekday staffing. That thinner weekend coverage matters, since fewer nurses on duty is when problems tend to surface. The inspection record backs that up: 17 deficiencies, five serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and two fines totaling just over $202,000, a lot for an 80-bed home. Turnover sits at 44.9 percent, essentially the national rate. The 4/5 quality measure score is the bright spot, but inspection and staffing ratings both land at 2/5, and the most recent survey was July 2025. Ask to see the plan of correction for those harm-level citations.
Perry Creek runs 132 beds in Raleigh under for-profit, limited-liability ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.67 hours per resident day, roughly 5% under the national average, with weekends about 15% thinner than its own weekdays. Staff turnover is the harder number: 63.7% a year against a 45.8% national average, meaning most of the people caring for your family member are relatively new and likely to leave. The record backs that up: 85 deficiencies, 11 of them serious enough to cause harm or jeopardy, four tied to abuse, and $326,170 in fines across three actions. CMS has placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, which it reserves for the country's most persistently troubled homes.
Harrison Pavilion runs on 3.31 nursing hours per resident day, about 14 percent under the national average, and weekends drop roughly another 15 percent below its own weekday level. That thin coverage shows up in the numbers: 69.3 percent annual turnover, well above the 45.8 percent national figure, and a one-star staffing rating from CMS. The health inspection record is heavier than most, 67 deficiencies, three flagged at harm or jeopardy level, three abuse-related, and the last inspection was September 2025. A four-star quality measure score stands out against all of that, but quality measures come from resident assessments, not from how many hands are on the floor.
Avon Place sits in Lorain County with 91 certified beds and a for-profit corporate owner, and the numbers tell a mixed story. Nurse staffing runs 3.10 hours per resident day, roughly a fifth below the national average, and the weekend gap of about 9% means care thins out when families often visit. Turnover of 65.8% is well above the national 45.8%, so the people caring for your relative are changing often. Inspections landed a middle-of-the-road health rating with 23 deficiencies on record, none at harm level and none abuse-related, which matters. The last inspection was June 2023, so that record is getting stale.
Troy Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center runs 155 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing is the number that stands out: 3.05 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 21% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop about 11% below its own weekday staffing, and annual turnover sits at 48.3%, slightly above the national rate. The current record shows 36 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, plus a $35,968 fine. Its last inspection was April 7, 2026, and CMS gives it one star for staffing against four for quality measures.
What that mix suggests is a home where care planning may look fine on paper while the floor runs thin, especially on weekends. If you're considering it, ask directly how many nurses and aides are on duty on a Saturday evening, and how they cover callouts.
Eastland runs on thin nursing coverage: 3.34 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly another 10% below its own weekday levels. Staff turnover sits at 52.7%, well above the 45.8% national figure, which means the people caring for residents keep changing. The inspection record backs that up, 46 deficiencies, including 3 at the harm or jeopardy level and 4 tied to abuse, with $237,624 in fines across three penalties.
Worth noting the split: residents' quality measures score 5 out of 5, while staffing scores 1 and inspections 2. That gap usually tells you the care model itself is sound on paper but the workforce behind it isn't stable enough to deliver it consistently. Ask about weekend coverage and turnover directly.
Dixon Healthcare Center runs on thinner nursing coverage than most homes, about 3.47 nurse hours per resident each day, roughly 10% under the national average, and weekends drop another 13% below its own weekday levels. The bigger worry is who's left to provide that care: annual turnover hits 61.2%, well above the 45.8% national figure, so residents cycle through a lot of unfamiliar faces.
The inspection record is where things get serious. Ninety deficiencies are on file, six of them involving actual harm or jeopardy, and thirteen tied to abuse. Three fines total $195,872. A recent April 2026 inspection is a good sign on paper, but the quality measure score is doing heavy lifting against a staffing picture and inspection history that tell a rougher story.
Mccrea Manor runs on thin staffing: 3.03 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, roughly a fifth less help than the typical home. Weekends are lighter still, and nearly 68% of staff turned over in the past year, well above the 46% national figure, that kind of churn means unfamiliar faces at the bedside. The good news is that care quality measures score well and the 32 deficiencies on record include none tied to harm, abuse, or jeopardy, with an inspection as recent as December 2025. The trade-off is straightforward: fewer hands per resident, especially on Saturdays and Sundays.
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.
St. Theresa Care Center runs on thin staffing, and the numbers show it. Nurses provide about 3.59 hours of care per resident per day, roughly 7 percent under the national average, and weekends drop about 12 percent below what the home manages on weekdays. Annual turnover sits at 70.7 percent against a national 45.8 percent, most of the people caring for your family member will be new to the building within a year or so, and few will stay long.
Its inspection record carries 36 deficiencies, three tied to abuse, though none at the harm or jeopardy level. The last full inspection was June 2025, so the picture is current. Quality measures look better than the floor staffing does, but weekday-to-weekend gaps and constant turnover are what a resident actually feels.
Lakeridge Villa runs about 3.09 nurse hours per resident per day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly another 10% below its own weekday staffing. That thin coverage helps explain a 1-out-of-5 staffing rating and a 69.4% annual turnover rate, well above the 45.8% national figure. The inspection record shows 40 deficiencies, including two tied to abuse, though none rose to the harm or jeopardy level. Hamilton County families comparing options should weigh whether the 4-out-of-5 quality measure score holds up when the people delivering that care keep changing.
The Anderson runs about 3.59 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 7% under the national average, and weekend coverage drops another 14% below its own weekday level. That thin schedule shows up in the numbers: annual staff turnover is 58.8% against a national 45.8%, and CMS gives staffing a single star. Inspectors cited 19 deficiencies on the current record, three of them at harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, with two fines totaling $112,473. Ownership is for-profit and individual. The most recent inspection was August 2025, so the record is current rather than stale.
Bennington Glen is a for-profit home in Marengo with a clean recent inspection, 4 out of 5 stars, dated April 2026, with 23 deficiencies on record but only one at the harm level and none tied to abuse. The problem sits elsewhere: nurse staffing runs 2.83 hours per resident day, roughly 27% under the national average, and weekends drop about 12% below the home's own weekday coverage. Turnover is the other flag at 63.5%, well above the 45.8% national figure, which matters because you're trusting a rotating cast with daily care. Good inspections don't cancel out thin staffing; they just mean nothing has gone badly wrong yet. Ask specifically who's on the floor on Saturday.
Crystal Care of Coal Grove runs 57 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and the staffing numbers are the first thing to notice: 3.16 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends dipping about 9% below its own weekday coverage. Turnover sits at 48.8%, a few points above the national figure, and the CMS staffing rating lands at 1 out of 5. The inspection record shows 25 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, and a single fine of $159,708, though the most recent inspection was September 2025, so that picture is current, not stale. Quality measures score 5 out of 5, which is a genuine bright spot, but strong clinical metrics don't offset thin daily coverage.
Crystal Care Center of Ashland runs on a for-profit LLC structure, and its nurse staffing sits at 2.93 hours per resident day, roughly a quarter below the national average of 3.86, with weekend coverage dipping a few points further. Turnover is high at 55.9%, and the health inspection record shows 23 deficiencies, two serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, along with one fine of $17,345. The last inspection was in May 2025. Quality measures score well, but the staffing shortfall is the number that matters most for day-to-day care.
