August Healthcare at Wilmington runs 120 beds as a for-profit corporation, and the staffing numbers are the first thing you notice. At 2.83 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 27% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 14% below its own weekday levels. Annual turnover is 52.3% against a 45.8% national figure, so the people providing care keep changing. On the current record there are 35 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, plus a $27,378 fine. Inspectors were last in on May 15, 2025. The inspection and quality ratings land mid-range, but the staffing rating is 1 out of 5, which is where a lot of this traces back to.
Autumn Care of Raeford runs on 3.00 nurse staffing hours per resident day, roughly 22% under the national average, which is why CMS gives it a single star for staffing. Weekends dip about 7% below its own weekday level, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. The current record carries four deficiencies, two of them at the harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, plus $32,631 in fines across two penalties. Turnover sits at 48.5%, a few points above the national rate. Ownership is a for-profit corporation. The last inspection was February 26, 2026, so the record is recent, and what's on it is serious.
Shamrock Nursing Center runs on about 3.04 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly a fifth below the national average, and weekend coverage drops further. That thin staffing shows in who stays: turnover sits at 73.4% against a national 45.8%, so most of the people caring for your relative are likely new to the building. The inspection record is the harder problem, 28 deficiencies, seven involving actual harm or jeopardy, two tied to abuse, and a $144,199 fine, with the most recent inspection in August 2025. Its quality measure score looks fine on paper, but that reflects charted care, not whether enough hands are present.
Bermuda Commons runs 117 certified beds in Advance under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits about 18% below the national average at 3.17 nurse hours per resident day. Weekends drop roughly another 9% off its own weekday level, so coverage thins exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover at 41% is a little better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters, but 21 deficiencies on the current record, two of them at harm or jeopardy level, and $28,043 in fines point to real gaps in care delivery. Inspectors were last on site April 29, 2026.
Longmeadow Care Center runs about 3.06 nurse hours per resident each day, roughly a fifth below the national average, and weekend coverage slips another 7% below its own weekday levels. Staff turnover sits at 61.2% against a national figure near 45.8%, so the people caring for residents are, more often than not, new to the building. The inspection record tells its own story: 36 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, plus a $47,486 fine. The most recent state inspection was in April 2025, so the findings are current rather than stale. Corporate for-profit ownership. The quality-measure scores look strong on paper, but a one-star inspection rating and thin, churning staffing are what families actually live with day to day.
Rocky River Gardens runs on 3.21 nurse staffing hours per resident day, roughly 17 percent under the national average, and weekends drop another 14 percent below its own weekdays. That thin coverage shows up in the numbers: a one-star CMS staffing rating, 58.7 percent annual turnover against a national 45.8 percent, and a one-star health inspection rating backed by 44 deficiencies on record, five of them at harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse. The $68,068 in fines across three actions and an April 2024 inspection round out a pattern that's hard to read kindly. Its five-star quality measure score stands alone against all of it.
Stillwater runs 3.56 nurse hours per resident day, about 8% under the national average, and weekend staffing barely dips below its own weekday numbers, that part is steady. The bigger issue is retention: 66.1% of nursing staff turned over in a year, well above the 45.8% national figure, and CMS gives the home just one star for staffing. Its current record carries 25 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level but one abuse-related, with the most recent inspection dated April 2026. Quality measures score well and inspections land mid-range, which is why the overall picture comes out average despite the thin staffing and churn.
Als Woodstock runs 42 beds in Woodstock under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing numbers are the first thing I'd flag: 3.09 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a fifth below the national average, with weekends running about 5% thinner than weekdays. Turnover sits at 59.5% against a national 45.8%, which means the aide helping your mother today is more likely than not to be gone within the year. The health inspection record shows 38 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, plus seven fines totaling $42,094; the last inspection was October 31, 2024. Resident care measures score well, but that's paperwork versus the floor.
The nurse staffing number here is the first thing I'd look at. At 3.43 hours per resident day, it runs about 11% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 9% below the home's own weekday level, so coverage is thinnest when families tend to visit. Annual turnover of 67.3% sits well above the 45.8% national figure, which means the people caring for your relative are often new to the building. Inspections tell a similar story: 32 deficiencies on record, including one at the harm level and four tied to abuse, plus a $183,316 fine. The last inspection was September 2023, so that record has had time to age without a fresh look.
Rae Ann Suburban runs 95 beds in Westlake under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing numbers are the first thing you'd notice. At 3.39 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 12% under the national average, and weekends drop another 14% below its own weekdays, so the coverage your family member gets on a Saturday looks different from a Tuesday. Annual turnover of 75% is well above the 45.8% national figure, meaning familiar faces cycle out fast. Its health inspection rating is 1 out of 5, with 37 deficiencies on record, including one at the harm level and three tied to abuse; a $10,065 fine was levied, and the last inspection was June 2025.
The Pavilion at Stow runs about 51 beds under corporate ownership, and its staffing is the number that stands out: 3.16 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 18% under the national average of 3.86, with weekends dipping another 7% below its own weekday level. That thin coverage shows up in the 1-out-of-5 staffing rating. Turnover sits at 72.1% against a national 45.8%, so the aides and nurses cycling through are often new. Inspections last happened in August 2023, and the record carries 27 deficiencies, including one abuse-related citation, though none rose to harm or jeopardy. Health and quality measures both land mid-range at 3 stars, which suggests care isn't falling apart, but the workforce behind it keeps changing.
Glendora Health Care Center runs about 49 beds in Wooster, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.34 hours per resident per day, roughly 13% under the national average, with weekends a bit thinner than weekdays. The bigger concern is turnover: 67.6% of staff leave annually, against a national average of 45.8%, which means the people caring for residents are often new and still learning the building. Inspections back that up. The home has 38 deficiencies on its current record, including four tied to abuse and one at the harm or jeopardy level, plus a $17,080 fine. Federal inspectors last visited in September 2024.
Altercare Zanesville runs 99 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and the staffing numbers are the first thing to notice. At 3.65 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 6% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 11% below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Staff turnover is 51.3% against a 45.8% national average, meaning more than half the nursing staff leaves each year. The inspection record is heavy: 48 deficiencies, four at harm or jeopardy level, two tied to abuse, and $198,156 in fines. The most recent inspection was May 2025.
Thunder Care and Rehabilitation runs 154 certified beds in Moore, and the staffing numbers are the first thing to notice: 3.06 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends dipping about 10% below its own weekday level. Turnover sits at 58.9%, well above the 45.8% national figure. The inspection record is heavier still, 42 deficiencies, four at harm or jeopardy level, eight tied to abuse, and one fine of $30,137. CMS has placed this for-profit, individually owned home in its Special Focus Facility program, and the most recent inspection was April 24, 2025.
Drumright Nursing Home carries 31 deficiencies on its current record, and four of those rose to the level of actual harm or jeopardy to residents, with three tied to abuse. Inspectors were last in the building in September 2025, so this isn't a stale picture. The fine history backs it up: three penalties totaling just over $102,000. Turnover runs at 78.1% a year against a national average near 46%, which means the aides and nurses caring for your family member are, more often than not, new and still learning the building. All three CMS ratings, inspections, quality measures, staffing, sit at the lowest possible mark. For-profit, limited liability ownership. If you're considering this one, ask hard questions before signing anything.
McAlester Nursing & Rehab runs on thin staffing margins, the lowest tier on CMS's staffing measure, and that's the number that should worry you most, since aides and nurses are who actually deliver daily care. Turnover sits at 64.4% against a national average of 45.8%, meaning roughly two of every three employees left within the year; that churn shows up as unfamiliar faces and inconsistent care. The current record carries 16 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, with $17,193 in fines. The last inspection was July 31, 2024, so that record is recent. For-profit, limited liability ownership is worth knowing too.
Chestnut Hill runs 180 certified beds in Wilkes Barre under corporate for-profit ownership, and the numbers that stand out most are on the staffing side. At 3.50 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 9% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip roughly 11% below its own weekday levels, meaning coverage is thinnest exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover is 61.5% against a national 45.8%, so the aides and nurses caring for your relative are more likely than not to be new to the building within the year. The current record carries 66 deficiencies, four of them abuse-related, though none at the harm level, and the last inspection was February 2026.
Bethlehem South runs 227 certified beds as a for-profit corporation, and its staffing numbers are the clearest thing on the page: 3.30 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends running about 12% thinner than weekdays. That shortfall shows up in CMS's staffing rating of 1 out of 5, and turnover sits at 52.2% versus 45.8% nationally, roughly half the nursing staff cycling through in a year. The inspection record holds 28 deficiencies, none at harm level but three tied to abuse, plus one fine of $27,378. A September 2025 inspection is recent, so the picture is current rather than stale.
Shenandoah Senior Living runs on 3.13 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 19% under the national average, and weekends drop about 8% below what the home itself staffs during the week. That thinner coverage matters more given the inspection record: 39 deficiencies, including three at the harm level and four tied to abuse, with two fines totaling $76,285. Annual turnover sits at 46.9%, just above the national figure. The most recent inspection was in May 2026. A for-profit limited liability company owns the 119-bed home. Whatever the quality measures suggest, the health inspection history is where the real trouble shows.
Laurel Lakes runs 186 certified beds in Chambersburg under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing numbers are the first thing worth knowing. At 3.31 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 14% under the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage drops roughly 7% below its own weekday level. Staff turnover is 46.6%, close to the national 45.8%. The inspection record is heavier: 40 deficiencies currently on file, three at harm or jeopardy level, two tied to abuse, and a single CMS fine of $211,205. Its last inspection was May 20, 2026. If you're weighing this one, ask specifically about weekend nursing coverage and how the abuse-related findings were resolved.
