Lyndon Crossing runs on thinner staffing than most homes, and the gap is worse than it looks: weekends drop about 9% below its own weekday levels, right when families tend to visit. The bigger warning sign is turnover, nearly two-thirds of nursing staff leave each year, well above the national rate. Then there's the record itself: 50 deficiencies, 13 of them serious enough to put residents in harm's way, and 6 tied to abuse. Federal regulators have flagged this Louisville home for the Special Focus Facility program, a designation reserved for the worst performers. Inspectors were last there in July 2025. If you're considering this place, ask hard questions and visit unannounced on a weekend.
Salyersville Nursing and Rehabilitation Center is a for-profit corporate home in Magoffin County with 142 certified beds, and the numbers behind its record are hard to get past. Its 39 deficiencies include 18 at the harm or jeopardy level and 6 tied to abuse, and CMS has placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, a designation reserved for the homes with the most persistent problems. Two fines total $447,485. Staffing looks adequate at 4.03 hours per resident day, slightly above the national average, but weekend coverage drops about 10% below weekday levels, and turnover runs 52.9% against a national 45.8%. The last inspection was May 2025.
Stanford Crossing runs 128 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers behind its record are worth walking through slowly. Nurse staffing sits at 3.45 hours per resident day, roughly 11% under the national average, and weekends drop about 8% below what the home itself staffs on weekdays, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Annual turnover is 53%, well above the 45.8% national figure. The inspection history is the heavier concern: 22 deficiencies on the current record, 11 of them at harm or jeopardy level, plus two fines totaling $26,685. Its most recent inspection was December 8, 2025. No abuse deficiencies appear in the record.
Spring View runs on 3.34 nurse hours per resident day, about 13 percent under the national average, and weekends dip slightly below its own weekday staffing. That thinner coverage matters more here because the inspection record is heavy: 14 deficiencies, four of them at harm or jeopardy level, two tied to abuse, plus three fines totaling $17,346. Staff turnover sits at 50 percent against a 45.8 percent national figure, so caregivers are cycling through steadily. A corporation owns the 71-bed building, and its last inspection was August 2025, so the record is current rather than stale. The quality and staffing measures both come in at two stars, with the health inspection piece at one, worth asking about before you tour.
Chestnut Ridge runs 3.40 nurse hours per resident day, about 12% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 9% below its own weekdays, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Staff turnover sits at 61.3% against a national 45.8%, meaning more than half the nursing staff leaves each year. Those numbers sit behind the federal findings: 36 deficiencies, seven serious enough to cause harm, two tied to abuse, and a single $306,141 fine. CMS has placed the home in its Special Focus Facility program, reserved for the country's most persistently troubled nursing homes, and the last inspection was August 2023.
Waldon Health Care Center runs 205 certified beds in Kenner under corporate for-profit ownership, and its staffing sits about 10% under the national average, roughly 3.48 nurse hours per resident day against 3.86, with weekends running another 8% thinner than its own weekdays. Turnover is 45.1%, essentially level with the national figure, so that's not where the problem lies. What stands out is the record: 38 deficiencies, four of them serious enough to put residents in harm's way, four tied to abuse, and $120,279 in fines across two penalties. Both CMS ratings for health inspections and quality measures sit at the bottom of the scale. The most recent inspection was January 14, 2026, so the picture is current, not stale.
Rosewood Nursing Center runs about 3.34 nursing hours per resident per day, roughly 14% under the national average, and weekends dip another 12% below its own weekday levels, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Staff turnover sits at 52.2%, well above the 45.8% national figure, which means caregivers are cycling through faster than residents can get to know them. On the current record: 20 deficiencies, three serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, one tied to abuse, and $47,585 in fines across three penalties. The last inspection was March 4, 2026. For-profit, limited liability ownership, 150 beds.
Town & Country Health & Rehab runs 124 certified beds in Minden under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.69 hours per resident day, a bit under the national average, with weekends running roughly 17% thinner than weekdays. The inspection record is the real problem: 12 deficiencies, two of them at harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, plus a single CMS fine that reached $322,647. Staff turnover is 22.6%, well below the national 45.8%, which suggests the workforce here is comparatively stable. So you're looking at a home where the people side holds up, but the state's most recent look, in May 2025, turned up serious findings.
Oak Haven runs 104 beds in Center Point, under corporate for-profit ownership, and its staffing sits right at the national average of 3.86 nurse hours per resident day, but weekends drop about 14% below what the home itself staffs on weekdays, so coverage thins out when families tend to visit. The bigger concern is the inspection record: 37 deficiencies, five of them serious enough to put residents at risk of harm, and three fines totaling $44,606. Turnover runs 46.8%, slightly above the national figure. The quality measure stars look good on paper, but that score reflects resident assessments, not the state surveyor findings that landed five citations at the harm level.
Luling Living Center runs 117 beds under for-profit limited liability ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.65 hours per resident day, about 5% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip roughly 16% below what the home staffs on weekdays, so coverage thins out right when families tend to visit. The inspection record is the harder part: 16 deficiencies, two of them serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, plus a single fine of $38,465. No abuse-related citations appear. The most recent inspection was March 25, 2026. Quality measures score well, but that one-star health inspection result and the weekend staffing gap are what pull the overall picture down.
Clover Health Care in Auburn runs 109 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers tell a mixed story. Nurse staffing sits at 3.79 hours per resident day, roughly 2% under the national average, and weekends drop about 10% below its own weekday levels, while annual turnover hits 55% against a national 45.8%. What stands out most is the inspection record: 54 deficiencies, including 2 at harm or jeopardy level and 2 tied to abuse, plus a spot in CMS's Special Focus Facility program and a 1-star health inspection rating. A recent May 2025 inspection and only $15,317 in fines suggest problems are being watched closely.
River Ridge Center has a staffing edge on paper, 4.05 nurse hours per resident day, about 5% above the national average, but that number comes with a catch. Weekend coverage drops roughly 11% below the home's own weekday level, and annual turnover sits at 59.4% against a national average of 45.8%, so the people delivering that care keep leaving. The inspection record is where the real trouble shows: 27 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, a $15,334 fine, and a place in CMS's Special Focus Facility program, a designation reserved for homes with a persistent pattern of poor inspections. The most recent inspection was July 2025.
Market Square Health Care Center runs leaner on weekends than weekdays, about 15% fewer staff hours, even though its overall nurse staffing of 4.60 hours per resident day sits roughly 19% above the national average. That weekday-weekend gap matters, since care doesn't pause on Saturdays. The 39 deficiencies on file include two tied to abuse, though none rose to the level of actual harm or jeopardy, and the last inspection was in March 2025. Staff turnover at 49.4% edges past the national 45.8%, which for a 76-bed for-profit home owned by an individual means retraining costs and unfamiliar faces. Strong quality and staffing marks sit alongside a two-star inspection record.
Oak Grove Center in Waterville carries a 1-star health inspection rating, and the record behind it is heavy: 60 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse. CMS has placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, a designation reserved for homes with a pattern of serious problems. Nurse staffing sits at 3.76 hours per resident day, slightly under the national average, and drops about 11% on weekends, when coverage thins. Annual turnover runs 50%, above the 45.8% national figure, meaning caregivers cycle through steadily. Fines total $14,056. The last inspection was March 2025, so the record is current, not stale.
Waterville Center for Health and Rehab has enough nurses on paper, 4.83 hours per resident day, roughly 25% above the national average, but the care record tells a different story. State and federal inspectors have cited 45 deficiencies, including four at the level where residents were actually harmed or put in immediate jeopardy and five tied to abuse. That's why CMS has placed this home in its Special Focus Facility program, the agency's watchlist for the country's most troubled nursing homes, and why a single fine has already reached $83,038. Staff turnover sits at 50.4% against a national average of 45.8%, and weekend coverage drops about 8% below weekday levels. Ownership is a for-profit limited liability company. The most recent inspection was August 28, 2025.
Windward Gardens has enough nurses on paper, 3.96 hours per resident day, a hair above the national average, but that number hides a staffing problem. Turnover runs 76.2% a year against a national average of 45.8%, meaning most of the people providing that care are new to the job, and weekends run about 7% thinner than weekdays. The deficiency record tells its own story: 82 citations on file, three of them abuse-related, and CMS has placed the Camden home in its Special Focus Facility program, a designation reserved for the homes with the most persistent problems. Zero harm-level deficiencies is the one bright spot worth noting.
Pines Nursing and Rehab is a 195-bed for-profit home in Easton, and the inspection record is the first thing you need to know about. CMS has it in the Special Focus Facility program, which is reserved for homes with a persistent pattern of serious problems, 179 deficiencies on the current record, including four at the harm or jeopardy level and nine tied to abuse. The health inspection star rating sits at 1 out of 5. Staffing runs about 14% below the national average at 3.31 nurse hours per resident day, weekends dip further, and turnover is 48%, above the national figure. One fine of $24,088 is small next to the deficiency count; the September 2025 inspection is recent, at least.
Bay Harbor runs 305 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and it's been flagged as a Special Focus Facility, CMS reserves that for homes with a pattern of serious, repeated problems. The inspection record backs that up: 94 deficiencies, three at harm or jeopardy level, 13 tied to abuse, and $111,315 in fines. Nurse staffing sits at 3.44 hours per resident day, about 11% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 13% below its own weekday levels. Turnover at 43.1% edges slightly under the national rate, which is faint comfort. Quality scores look strong on paper, but survey findings and staffing are what families actually live with day to day.
Ellicott City Healthcare Center runs 182 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its numbers tell a mixed story. Nurse staffing sits at 3.58 hours per resident day, about 7% under the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage drops roughly 9% below its own weekday level, so the weakest hours come when families tend to visit. What stands out in the other direction is retention: 27.3% annual turnover against a national 45.8%, meaning the caregivers who are there tend to stay. The trouble is the inspection record, 110 deficiencies, including one at harm or jeopardy level and nine tied to abuse, with a 1/5 health inspection rating even though quality measures score 5/5 and staffing 4/5. That gap between good scores on paper and the state's actual findings is worth asking about directly.
Layhill runs 3.46 nurse hours per resident per day, about ten percent under the national average, and weekends drop roughly sixteen percent below its own weekday staffing. The inspection record is the bigger problem: 103 deficiencies, three at harm or jeopardy level and nine tied to abuse, plus two fines totaling $153,596. A recent inspection in February 2026 means that record is current, not old. Turnover at 38.1% is actually better than the 45.8% national figure, so the issue isn't retention so much as thin coverage and a long, serious citation history at this for-profit LLC.
