Rehab Of Kansas City South runs about 3.10 nurse hours per resident each day, roughly 20% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends are about 17% thinner than its own weekdays. That staffing shortfall shows up in other numbers: 59.5% of staff left over the past year against a 45.8% national rate, and CMS gives staffing a single star out of five. The inspection record carries 45 deficiencies, including two tied to abuse, though none reached harm or jeopardy, and the last survey was in February 2025. This is a for-profit LLC with 100 certified beds, a two-star inspection rating, and a three-star quality measure score.
Pine Grove Manor runs 3.14 nurse hours per resident day, about 19 percent under the national average, and weekend coverage drops roughly 11 percent below its own weekday levels. That thin staffing sits alongside a one-star inspection record carrying 34 deficiencies, three of them at harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, plus $31,665 in fines across two penalties. Quality measures score well, but that's family-reported and assessment-based data; the inspection and staffing numbers are what regulators actually observed. The last inspection was March 2026, so the record is current. For-profit corporate ownership, 77 beds, and a staffing picture that leaves little margin when a resident needs more attention than the schedule allows.
Colfax General Ltc runs 34 beds in Springer under for-profit partnership ownership, and its recent inspection history is genuinely strong, a 4-out-of-5 health inspection rating with a survey completed in January 2025. The staffing picture is where it gets harder to feel good about. At 2.60 nurse hours per resident day, this home sits roughly a third below the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 19% below its own weekday coverage. Annual turnover of 67.9% is well above the 45.8% national figure. Twenty-six deficiencies sit on the current record, three at harm or jeopardy level and three abuse-related.
Corning Center runs on thin staffing, and the numbers say so. At 3.20 nurse hours per resident per day, it sits about 17 percent under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 24 percent below its own weekday levels, which matters most when families visit and aides are stretched thinnest. Annual turnover of 64.5 percent is well above the 45.8 percent national figure, so the people caring for your relative are likely to change often. What keeps this home from looking worse on paper is a clean inspection record: 11 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, no abuse findings, and a March 2024 inspection. The care seems safe; the question is whether there's enough of it.
Elderwood At Liverpool runs 160 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing numbers are where the trouble starts. At 3.52 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 9% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 14% below its own weekday level, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. The staffing star rating comes in at 1 out of 5, with quality measures at 2 and health inspections at 3. Its record shows 17 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, plus one fine of $56,921. The last inspection was February 2026, so the picture is current.
Elderwood At Hornell passes its health inspections cleanly, a five-star record, just eight deficiencies and none of them causing harm or involving abuse. The trouble is who's left to do the work. At 2.75 nurse hours per resident day, staffing sits roughly 29% under the national average, and it thins out further on weekends. A 63.5% annual turnover rate means most of the aides and nurses on a given shift are relatively new, which matters more when there are fewer of them. One fine of $4,194 is minor. For-profit LLC ownership, 122 beds, last inspected in February 2024. Strong surveys, thin coverage, families should ask pointed questions about evening and weekend staffing specifically.
Elderwood At Cheektowaga runs 3.27 nursing hours per resident day, roughly 15% under the national average, and weekends dip another 15% below its own weekday staffing. That thin coverage shows up in a 63% annual turnover rate, well above the 45.8% national figure, which means the aides and nurses walking into residents' rooms are often new to the building. The current inspection record carries 23 deficiencies, including three tied to abuse, though none rose to harm or jeopardy level. Quality measures look strong at 4 out of 5 stars, but the 2-star health inspection and 2-star staffing ratings, under for-profit LLC ownership, tell a more cautious story.
Harvard Gardens runs on 3.09 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly a fifth below the national average, and weekends dip about 8 percent below its own weekday staffing. That thin coverage sits behind a one-star staffing rating and a one-star health inspection rating, with 73 deficiencies on the current record: three at harm or jeopardy level and eight tied to abuse. Six fines add up to $194,149. The five-star quality measure score looks strong on paper, but it's built in part on data the short staffing itself helps generate. Ownership is a for-profit partnership, and the most recent inspection was March 3, 2026. The quality number and the staffing number don't tell the same story.
The Gardens of Fairfax runs on thin staffing. At 3.71 nurse hours per resident day, it sits just under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 17% below its own weekday levels, meaning the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Turnover tells the harder story: 68.8% of staff leave each year, well above the 45.8% national figure, so the people caring for residents keep changing.
The inspection record is heavy, 47 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and seven tied to abuse, plus 24 fines totaling $145,170. The most recent inspection was in February 2026, so the record is current. Corporate ownership is a for-profit limited liability company.
Letort Spring runs about 13 percent below the national average on nurse staffing, and weekends dip roughly another 10 percent below its own weekday level, so the hours a resident gets vary by the day. The inspection record is the bigger problem: 59 deficiencies, five of them serious enough to put residents in harm's way, two tied to abuse, and $63,892 in fines across three actions. A recent inspection date doesn't erase that backlog. For-profit LLC ownership, a one-star health inspection rating, and thin weekend coverage together mean you'd want to visit unannounced, on a weekend, and ask directly who's on the floor.
Magnolia Manor - Greenwood runs on 3.25 nurse staffing hours per resident day, roughly 16% under the national average, and weekends drop about 17% below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. The inspection record is the bigger concern: 25 deficiencies, including 3 at harm or jeopardy level and 2 tied to abuse, with two fines totaling $13,075 and a one-star health inspection rating. Staff turnover sits at 47.9%, slightly above the national 45.8%. This is a for-profit limited liability company, 88 beds, last inspected June 2025.
Creekview runs about 3.37 nurse hours per resident each day, roughly 13 percent under the national average, and weekend staffing drops another 16 percent below its own weekday levels, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Turnover sits at 66.7 percent against a national 45.8 percent, meaning most of the people charting care this year likely won't be there next year. The current record shows 23 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, but the two-star inspection rating suggests the pattern, not just the count, is what inspectors noticed. Quality measures score well at four stars; that's real, though it rests on a workforce that keeps changing.
Briarwood runs about 3.37 nurse hours per resident each day, roughly 13% under the national average, and weekends drop another 15% below its own weekday staffing. Turnover sits at 69% against a national 45.8%, which means the people caring for residents are, more often than not, new to the building. Fourteen deficiencies appear on the current record, four of them abuse-related. None rise to harm or jeopardy level, and the most recent inspection was in May 2025, so the picture is current rather than stale. The quality measure rating of 1 out of 5 is the number that should give you pause; staffing at 2 out of 5 and inspections at 3 out of 5 round out a home that isn't failing outright but isn't steady either.
Etowah Health and Rehabilitation runs a 120-bed for-profit operation where nurse staffing sits at 3.22 hours per resident day, about 16% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip roughly 8% below its own weekday levels. The inspection record shows 16 deficiencies, three of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, four tied to abuse, and $21,692 in fines across three penalties. CMS rates it one star each for staffing and quality measures, two for health inspections, with the most recent inspection dated February 25, 2026. Families weighing this one should ask directly how the abuse-related findings were resolved and who covers the floor on weekends.
Vanayer Senior Living runs 91 certified beds in Martin under individual for-profit ownership, and the numbers show a building that's staffed thinner than most. Total nurse coverage sits at 3.49 hours per resident day, roughly 10% under the national figure, and weekends dip about 18% below the home's own weekday levels, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Half the staff turned over in the past year, above the 45.8% national rate, which matters because new aides don't know residents yet. Nine deficiencies sit on the current record, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, plus $8,589 in fines. The last inspection was November 2025, so that record is recent.
AHC McKenzie runs 99 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its last health inspection in April 2026 came back strong on paper, a 5-star inspection rating with just three deficiencies on record, none of them causing harm. An abuse-related citation does appear in that count, which is worth asking about directly. The staffing side is where the picture changes: 3.24 nurse hours per resident per day sits about 16% under the national average, weekends run roughly 15% thinner than weekdays, and 60% of staff turned over in a year against a national rate near 46%. Consistent coverage is the thing to press on when you visit.
Meadowbrook Healthcare And Rehabilitation Center runs 83 certified beds in Pulaski, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.19 hours per resident day, roughly 17% under the national average of 3.86. That gap shows up most on weekends, when coverage drops about 13% below what the home staffs on weekdays. The record itself is fairly clean on safety, 8 deficiencies total, none at the harm level and none tied to abuse, with the last inspection dated February 2026 and a 4-star health inspection rating. Quality measures come in at 2 stars, though, which fits with thin staffing. Corporate for-profit ownership means decisions about direct-care hours get made with margin in mind.
Ripley Healthcare and Rehab Center runs 144 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.09 hours per resident day, roughly 6% above the national average, which sounds better than it is. Weekend staffing drops about 22% below the home's own weekday level, so the coverage your family member gets on a Saturday looks nothing like a Tuesday. Staff turnover is 45.7%, essentially identical to the national average, meaning nearly half the workforce turns over each year. Eleven deficiencies sit on the current record, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and CMS has fined the home $66,472. The last inspection was May 2026.
Park Village runs 3.05 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop another 15% below its own weekday levels, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. The inspection record carries 52 deficiencies, eight at harm or jeopardy level and seven tied to abuse, with six fines totaling $221,389. CMS has placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, reserved for homes with a persistent pattern of poor care. Quality measures look strong at 5/5, but that score sits alongside a 1/5 on both inspections and staffing, a split worth asking about directly.
Swan Health At Wichita Falls runs 72 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.24 hours per resident day, about 16% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip roughly 6% below the home's own weekday coverage, so the thinnest hours come when families often visit. The record shows 27 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection on March 20, 2025. CMS gives it 4 stars for health inspections but only 1 for staffing and 2 for quality measures. The tension is clear: surveyors found relatively few serious problems, yet the daily staffing numbers and quality metrics are where the weakness lives, especially on weekends.
