Aliya On 87Th carries 75 deficiencies on its current record, ten of them serious enough to cause harm or jeopardy and five tied to abuse. That's an unusual concentration of high-severity findings for a single home. Nurse staffing sits at 2.93 hours per resident day, roughly a quarter below the national average, and it thins further on weekends. Staff turnover matches the national rate, so retention isn't the outlier here, the shortfall in hands-on hours is. The 5/5 quality measure rating contrasts sharply with a 1/5 on both inspections and staffing, and $343,276 in fines across five penalties tells you regulators have acted more than once.
Allure of Galesburg runs on thin nursing coverage: 3.12 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends about 5% leaner than weekdays, so the gaps families notice tend to show up on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover sits at 45.2%, essentially the national rate, meaning the aides and nurses cycling through are not unusually transient, but the low staffing star reflects fewer hands overall. The inspection record is the harder read: 60 deficiencies, 7 of them at harm or jeopardy level and 17 tied to abuse, plus two fines totaling $271,833. Quality measures score well, but the last inspection was July 2025 and the health inspection star remains 1 out of 5.
Aliya Of Palos Park runs a for-profit corporate operation with 129 certified beds, and the numbers there are worth a close look. Nurse staffing sits at 3.29 hours per resident day, roughly 15 percent under the national average, and weekends dip about 3 percent below the home's own weekday levels, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Annual turnover hits 54.8 percent against a national 45.8 percent, meaning more than half the nursing staff leaves each year. The inspection record shows 50 deficiencies, 10 at harm or jeopardy level and 2 abuse-related, with four fines totaling $354,885. Quality measures score well, but staffing and inspection results tell a different story.
Greenup Rehab and Nursing runs 54 beds under individual for-profit ownership, and its staffing is the number that stands out: 2.76 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 28% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop another 11% below its own weekday level, and annual turnover sits at 57.7% against a national 45.8%, so the people who remain are stretched thin and the roster keeps churning. The inspection record shows 37 deficiencies, 5 of them abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in September 2024. Federal staffing and health inspection ratings both come in at 1 out of 5; the quality measure rating is 3.
Southwood Healthcare Center is a for-profit home in Terre Haute with a staffing problem that shows up in the numbers: 3.09 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a fifth below the national average, and weekends run about 11% leaner than weekdays. Annual staff turnover sits at 57%, well above the 45.8% national figure, which helps explain the low staffing rating. The inspection record is heavier to carry, 49 deficiencies, including two at the harm level and four tied to abuse, plus a $40,790 fine. CMS has placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, a designation reserved for homes with a pattern of serious problems. The quality measure rating looks better, but that's built from resident assessments, not the staffing and inspection issues a family would actually feel day to day.
Valley View runs 94 beds in Elkhart under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing numbers are where the trouble starts. At 3.32 nurse hours per resident day, it's about 14% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 8% below its own weekday level, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover sits at 59% against a national 45.8%, meaning most of the people caring for residents weren't there a year ago. The inspection record backs that up: 47 deficiencies, including several tied to abuse and two at the harm level, plus a single $284,560 fine. The quality measure score doesn't cancel out a one-star inspection history with that kind of churn.
Ignite Medical Resort Chesterton runs 70 certified beds as a for-profit, individually owned home, and the numbers that stand out are staffing and inspections. Nurse staffing sits at 3.71 hours per resident day, a bit under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 12% below what the home staffs on weekdays. Turnover is the sharper figure: 74.2% annually against a national average near 46%, meaning most of the people caring for residents this year likely won't be there next year. The current record carries 53 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the last inspection dated February 24, 2026. Quality measures score well; inspections and staffing do not.
Altoona Nursing and Rehabilitation Center carries 48 deficiencies on its current record, including one tied to abuse, though none reached the harm or jeopardy level. The 106-bed for-profit home in Polk County was inspected most recently on March 19, 2026. Where the numbers get harder to explain away is staffing: CMS gives it 1 out of 5 stars there, and its annual turnover sits at 97.8 percent against a national average of 45.8 percent. That means the aides and nurses caring for residents are, almost without exception, new to the building each year. Inspection and quality measures each land at 2 stars. Families weighing this home against others nearby should ask directly how they hold onto caregivers.
Norwalk Nursing and Rehabilitation Center is a 45-bed for-profit home in Warren County, and the numbers pull in different directions. Its last inspection, at the end of 2025, produced seven deficiencies, none at the harm level, but one abuse-related, and CMS gives it solid marks on health inspections. Staffing is the problem: a one-star rating there, with annual turnover of 95.3% against a national average of 45.8%, meaning nearly the whole workforce turns over every year. Quality measures sit at two stars. A recent, mostly clean inspection record matters, but a building where almost nobody stays on staff is hard to run consistently, and that's what holds the overall picture down.
Accura Healthcare of Toledo runs about 2.89 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly a quarter below the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop another 9% below its own weekday staffing. That thin coverage shows up in the numbers: a 56.5% annual turnover rate against a national average of 45.8% means the aides and nurses at the bedside keep changing. Inspectors cited 18 deficiencies on the current record, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, with the most recent visit in January 2026. Ownership is corporate, for-profit. Nothing here is abuse-related, but the staffing, turnover, and inspection history are the parts worth pressing the administrator on before you decide.
Diversicare Of Haysville runs about 2.88 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly a quarter below the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage drops another 13% below its own weekday level, so the thinnest shifts come exactly when families tend to visit. Staff turnover sits at 55.2% against a national 45.8%, meaning more than half the nursing team turns over in a year. The inspection record is the harder problem: 40 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, with $38,327 in fines. The 4/5 quality measure score reflects reported care outcomes, but the 1/5 inspection rating and 2/5 staffing rating describe what surveyors actually found. This for-profit LLC is licensed for 119 beds.
The inspection record at Medicalodges Frontenac shows 29 deficiencies, one of them serious enough to involve actual harm or jeopardy to a resident, and a federal fine of $16,858. Staff turnover runs at 56.3 percent a year, well above the 45.8 percent national average, and CMS rates staffing at just one star out of five. With 55 certified beds and corporate for-profit ownership, the numbers point to a building where workers cycle through quickly and care problems have been documented, not hypothetical. If you're considering this one for someone you love, ask the administrator directly how they're addressing the turnover and what changed after the November 2024 inspection.
Lakepoint Augusta runs about 3.17 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 18% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip another 10% below its own weekday coverage. Staff turnover sits at 50.7%, higher than the 45.8% national figure, so the people caring for residents change often. Its inspection record shows 24 deficiencies, two of them serious enough to put residents at harm or jeopardy, plus one fine of $15,940. The most recent inspection was October 31, 2024. Ownership is for-profit through a limited liability company. All three CMS star ratings, health inspections, quality measures, and staffing, come in at 2 out of 5.
Oakview runs about 3.47 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 10% under the national average, and weekends dip about 14% below its own weekday staffing. That thinner weekend coverage matters most when families visit and when residents need help at meals and bedtime. The bigger concern is turnover: 67.7% of nursing staff left over the year, well above the 45.8% national average, which means caregivers are often new and unfamiliar with residents. Inspections in September 2025 turned up 16 deficiencies, two serious enough to put residents at risk of harm, plus $15,646 in fines. State surveyors last visited in late 2025, so the record is current. Limited liability ownership with for-profit status rounds out the picture.
Hartland Park runs 150 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing numbers tell you most of what you need to know. Nurses provide 3.44 hours per resident day, roughly 11% below the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip another 10% below the home's own weekday levels, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover sits at 46.2%, essentially matching the national rate, which means this isn't a retention crisis so much as a staffing floor that never gets high enough. The inspection record is the harder read: 33 deficiencies, two at harm or jeopardy level, one abuse-related, and two fines totaling $12,925, with the most recent inspection in June 2025.
Franklin-Simpson runs on 3.06 nurse hours per resident day, about a fifth below the national figure of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 14% under its own weekday level, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Staff turnover sits at 50.6%, higher than the 45.8% national average, and the federal staffing rating reflects that at 1 out of 5. The inspection history is the counterweight: a 4-out-of-5 health inspection rating, though the current record still carries 15 deficiencies, two at harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse. It's a for-profit LLC, 98 beds, last inspected July 2025. Quality measures rate 2 out of 5.
Metairie Health Care Center runs 202 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits about 9% under the national average at 3.53 nurse hours per resident day. That shortfall gets worse on weekends, when coverage drops roughly 13% below the home's own weekday level, meaning the thinnest shifts land exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover at 39.5% is actually better than the 45.8% national figure, so the problem isn't retention so much as how few hands are scheduled. What stands out most is the inspection record: 38 deficiencies, including 3 at harm or jeopardy level and 4 abuse-related, with $132,895 in fines across two penalties. The most recent inspection was December 17, 2025.
St. Francisville Nursing and Rehab runs on 2.85 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter below the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage dips about 10% below its own weekday level. Staff turnover sits at 60.2% against a national 45.8%, meaning most of the people caring for residents this year likely won't be there next year. The inspection record is the heavier concern: 23 deficiencies, four serious enough to put residents in harm's way, and four tied to abuse, plus $112,896 in fines. The most recent inspection was April 2025, so the picture is current rather than stale.
Valley View runs lean on nursing hours, 3.45 per resident per day, roughly 11% under the national average, and weekends get thinner still, dropping about 13% below its own weekday coverage. That staffing pattern shows up in the federal stars too, where the home earns 2 out of 5 for staffing and just 1 out of 5 on quality measures. Its inspection record carries 16 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and five tied to abuse, with a single $37,310 fine. Turnover is the one bright spot: 34.8% against a national 45.8%. The last inspection was January 2026. The limited liability, for-profit owner keeps the financial risk at arm's length.
Copper Ridge runs about 4.02 nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the national average, but that cushion shrinks on weekends when staffing drops roughly 6% below its own weekday levels. The bigger concern is turnover: 60.8% of staff left over the past year, well above the 45.8% national figure, which matters because consistent caregivers know residents' routines and catch changes early. Inspections turned up 51 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and five tied to abuse, with a $14,020 fine on record. The last inspection was June 2025, so the picture is current.
