Champion City is a 187-bed for-profit home in Pittsburgh, and the federal numbers paint a rough picture from every angle. Staff turnover runs at 60.7 percent a year, well above the national average of 45.8, and its staffing, quality, and health inspection ratings each sit at the lowest mark CMS gives. The current record carries 90 deficiencies, including 2 at the harm or jeopardy level and 11 tied to abuse. CMS has placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, which the agency reserves for the homes with the most persistent problems. Its last inspection was March 27, 2026, and there's one fine on record, totaling $7,656.
The staffing numbers at West View look decent on paper, 3.94 nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the national average, but that average hides a problem: weekend coverage drops roughly 9% below weekday levels, and annual turnover runs 59% against a national 45.8%. Consistent hands matter more than the headline figure, and here they aren't staying. The inspection record is the harder read: 26 deficiencies, 8 of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, plus 2 abuse-related findings and $130,764 in fines across 5 penalties. A 1-star health inspection and 1-star quality measure rating, with the most recent inspection just weeks old, tells you regulators keep finding the same problems in a for-profit limited liability operation.
Avantara Arrowhead runs on 3.52 nursing hours per resident day, about 9% under the national average, and weekends dip roughly 7% below its own weekday staffing. That thin coverage sits alongside a 76.1% annual turnover rate, well above the 45.8% national figure, meaning the aides and nurses at the bedside are frequently new. The current inspection record shows 37 deficiencies, nine of them serious enough to cause harm or jeopardy, four tied to abuse, and five fines totaling $82,863, with the last inspection in September 2025. For-profit, LLC-owned, 68 beds. The pattern across staffing, turnover, and inspection history is what drives the low marks.
Orchardview runs on thin staffing. At 3.39 nurse hours per resident per day, it sits about 12% under the national average of 3.86, and the weekend numbers don't drop further, so there's no extra coverage cushion when census or acuity spikes. The bigger red flag is turnover: 70.8% annually, against a national average of 45.8%. That's a building where most of the people caring for your relative will be gone within a year.
The inspection record backs that up. Nineteen deficiencies on file, four of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, five tied to abuse. Three fines totaling $94,905. The most recent inspection was January 2025, so the record is current, not stale. All three CMS star ratings, health inspections, quality measures, and staffing, land at 2 out of 5.
Meridian Care Monte Vista runs 4.74 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter above the national average, but that raw number hides two problems: weekend staffing drops about 15% below its own weekday level, and annual turnover sits at 68.4% against a national 45.8%, meaning most of the people providing that care are new and likely to leave. The inspection record is where it gets harder to defend, 49 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse, with fines totaling $28,345 and a February 2026 inspection still the most recent. The staffing ratio looks good on paper, but a home where two-thirds of caregivers turn over each year and inspectors keep finding serious problems isn't one where that number translates into steady care.
Cedar Ridge Center runs on 3.22 nurse staffing hours per resident day, roughly 17% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 23% below its own weekday level, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Staff turnover sits at 60.4% against a national 45.8%, which means the people caring for your relative are often new to the building. The inspection record shows 100 deficiencies, 10 of them at harm or jeopardy level and 9 abuse-related, plus five CMS fines totaling $149,858. Being placed in the Special Focus Facility program is CMS's own signal that this home needs close watching.
If you're weighing Lakeside for someone you love, the staffing numbers are the place to start. At 3.13 nurse hours per resident day, this for-profit home runs roughly 19% below the national average, and weekends drop about 12% below its own weekday level. Annual turnover sits at 82.2% against a national average of 45.8%, which means the people caring for your family member are likely to change often. The record shows 44 deficiencies, three at harm or jeopardy level and six tied to abuse, with the most recent inspection in April 2025. That's a lot of history for a 93-bed building.
Walker Rehabilitation Center is a for-profit home in Carbon Hill with 59 certified beds, and the numbers behind its record are worth walking through. Federal inspectors have cited 18 deficiencies, seven of them involving actual harm or jeopardy to residents and four tied to abuse, with a single fine reaching $235,127. Staff turnover sits at 68.8% against a national average of 45.8%, meaning most of the people caring for residents this year likely won't be there next year. Nurse staffing runs slightly under the national average and drops about 22% on weekends. CMS has placed this home in its Special Focus Facility program, which is reserved for the country's most persistently troubled nursing homes, and its most recent inspection was November 30, 2024.
Arcadia Care Watseka runs 123 beds in Iroquois County under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing numbers are thin: 3.40 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 12% under the national average, with weekends about 10% below its own weekdays. Turnover sits at 55.4% against a 45.8% national rate, so the people caring for residents keep changing. The current record shows 74 deficiencies, 9 at harm or jeopardy level and 19 abuse-related, plus five fines totaling $421,200. CMS has placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, and the most recent inspection was February 2026. If you're considering this one, ask hard questions about who's actually on the floor nights and weekends.
Forest City Rehab has 213 beds and a for-profit LLC owner, and the numbers behind its record are hard to read as anything but trouble. Nurse staffing sits at 2.39 hours per resident day, roughly 38% under the national average, and weekends drop about 16% below its own weekday level, so the thinnest coverage happens when families tend to visit. Inspectors have cited 65 deficiencies, including 10 at harm or jeopardy level and 11 tied to abuse, with four fines totaling $192,920. Staff turnover at 41% is actually a touch better than the 45.8% national figure, but that's the lone bright spot in an otherwise rough record, and the most recent inspection closed in November 2025.
Fairfield Senior Living & Rehabilitation runs 104 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing numbers are the first thing to look at. At 3.05 nurse hours per resident day, it's about a fifth below the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage dips even further below its own weekday level. The inspection record is heavier than that gap alone suggests: 45 deficiencies, eight of them serious enough to put residents at harm or jeopardy, four tied to abuse, and eight fines totaling $126,045. The most recent inspection was July 2025, so this is current, not stale. When resident care measures and staffing both sit at the low end, the pattern usually reflects how the building is run day to day.
Eastview runs lean on nurses: 3.30 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 17% below what the home staffs on weekdays. That gap matters most when families visit on Saturdays and Sundays. The inspection record shows 60 deficiencies, including five at the harm level and 13 tied to abuse, plus four fines totaling $139,731, the state last inspected in November 2024. Turnover at 43.2% is slightly better than average, so the problem isn't retention so much as how few hands are scheduled. This is a for-profit limited liability company with 63 certified beds, and the staffing and quality scores both sit at the bottom of CMS's scale.
Parkview Manor runs on 2.80 nurse staffing hours per resident day, roughly 27% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends run about 8% thinner than weekdays. The inspection record shows 46 deficiencies, including six at the harm or jeopardy level and seven tied to abuse, with one fine totaling $93,473 and a last inspection dated August 2025. This is a for-profit corporation operating 62 certified beds, and the numbers behind each CMS rating, one star for health inspections, one for staffing, two for quality measures, point the same direction.
Holton Health Care Center runs on 2.82 nursing hours per resident per day, well under the national figure of 3.86, and weekend coverage dips about 9% below what the home staffs on weekdays. Its inspection record shows 60 deficiencies, seven of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, three tied to abuse, and four fines totaling $201,614, with a CMS inspection in August 2025 and a spot in the federal Special Focus Facility program, which flags homes with a persistent pattern of poor care. For-profit ownership under a limited liability company means the people who set the budget aren't the ones on the floor at 2 a.m.
Harrison Nursing and Rehabilitation Center runs on thin staffing. At 3.18 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 18% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 11% below what the home manages on weekdays, meaning the thinnest coverage lands when backup is hardest to find. The inspection record backs that up: 39 deficiencies, six of them serious enough to threaten resident harm, plus five fines totaling $34,409. All three CMS ratings, health inspections, quality measures, staffing, come in at one star out of five. Corporate-owned and certified for 54 beds, its most recent inspection was April 2, 2026.
White Oak Post Acute Care in Baton Rouge carries 84 deficiencies on its current record, ten of them serious enough to involve actual harm or jeopardy, and five tied to abuse. CMS has fined the home five times for a total of $616,151, and it currently sits in the Special Focus Facility program, the agency's watchlist for the homes with the most persistent problems. Staffing runs 3.33 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 11% below the home's own weekday level. Annual turnover hits 68.7%, well above the 45.8% national figure. For-profit, LLC-owned, 176 beds, inspected most recently in December 2025.
Legacy Nursing At St. Christina runs 140 certified beds in Pineville under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing numbers tell the story before anything else does. At 3.23 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 16% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 20% below its own weekday level, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. The inspection record backs that up: 61 deficiencies, seven at harm or jeopardy level, eleven tied to abuse, and five fines totaling $646,937. Staff turnover of 48.1% edges past the national 45.8%. All three CMS star ratings, health inspections, quality measures, staffing, sit at one out of five, with the most recent inspection dated February 2026.
Riverdell Care Center runs about 2.82 nurse hours per resident each day, roughly 27% below the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage drops another 16% below its own weekday level. Staff turnover sits at 69.4% against a national average of 45.8%, so the people around your family member change often. The good news: inspectors gave it four stars and found no abuse or harm-level deficiencies, though 10 total issues remain on the record, with the most recent inspection in December 2024. The quality measure rating tells a different story from the inspection score, and that gap between a clean-ish inspection and thin, unstable staffing is what the numbers actually show.
Truman Lake Manor runs on thin staffing, and the numbers show it. At 2.77 nurse hours per resident each day, it sits about 28% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 17% below its own weekday level, so care is already leaner when families tend to visit. Turnover tells a similar story: 67.7% of staff leave within a year, against a national 45.8%, which means unfamiliar faces and less continuity for residents.
The inspection record is heavier than most. Forty-four deficiencies are on file, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and eight tied to abuse. The last inspection was in March 2024, and the quality measure rating sits at the lowest mark.
Brent B Tinnin Manor runs 60 beds in Ellington under individual for-profit ownership, and the staffing numbers are the place to start. At 3.20 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 17% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 23% below its own weekday level, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Annual turnover of 74.5% is well above the 45.8% national figure, meaning most of the people caring for residents are relatively new to the building. The inspection record shows 33 deficiencies, three tied to abuse, though none reached harm or jeopardy level, and the most recent survey was March 2025.
