Annie's Garden runs 4.11 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 7% above the national average of 3.86, and its record is clean: no deficiencies at any level, none related to abuse, with an inspection completed in October 2025. The one pattern worth watching is weekends, when staffing drops about 16% below what the home runs during the week. That's not unusual in this industry, but it matters for a resident who needs more hands-on help on a Saturday than a Tuesday. The home is for-profit, owned by a limited liability company, licensed for 75 beds. A clean inspection record plus above-average staffing is a decent starting point, ask how they cover weekend shifts before you decide.
St. Louis Altenheim is a 73-bed for-profit home in the city, run by a limited liability company. Its current record shows ten deficiencies, none of which rose to actual harm or jeopardy, that's the key distinction, since most citations at this level are paperwork and process problems rather than incidents where a resident got hurt. One abuse-related deficiency is on the books, though, and that's worth asking about directly. The last inspection was October 2025, so the findings are recent, not stale. What the numbers don't show is how the place is staffed day to day, and with a for-profit LLC operator, that's the question I'd press on before deciding.
A 42-bed for-profit LLC home in Carteret County, Embassy At Morehead City carries a clean federal record: zero deficiencies of any kind, including none at the harm or jeopardy level and none tied to abuse. Its most recent inspection was February 17, 2026, so the findings are recent rather than stale. What the public data can't tell you from here is how the place feels day to day, how much direct nursing time each resident actually gets compared with the national average, and whether staff turnover undercuts consistency of care. Those are the questions worth asking the administrator directly, along with who owns the LLC and how long they've operated this building.
Bloomsbury at Hayes Barton Place is a small Wake County home, 31 certified beds, corporate for-profit ownership, and its inspection record right now is spotless. Zero deficiencies on the current record, none at the harm or jeopardy level, and nothing abuse-related, with the most recent survey completed January 22, 2026. That recency matters; a clean record from years ago tells you less than a clean one from weeks ago.
What the numbers don't show is anything about staffing hours, turnover, or how residents and families actually experience the place day to day. Thirty-one beds means the place runs small, which can cut either way. If you're considering it, ask directly about nurse coverage on nights and weekends, and whether the same aides are still there year to year.
Rochester Residence and Care Center carries a record that should give any family pause. State and federal inspectors have cited 141 deficiencies here, ten of them tied to abuse and eight serious enough to put residents in immediate harm's way. Six fines total $390,255, and CMS has placed the home in its Special Focus Facility program, a designation reserved for the small share of nursing homes with a persistent pattern of serious problems. It's a for-profit limited liability company with 119 certified beds. The most recent inspection, in February 2026, is recent enough that these findings reflect how the place operates now, not some distant past. If you're considering this home, ask hard questions before you sign anything.
Advanced Health Care of Nashville runs 49 beds under a for-profit limited liability company, and its nurse staffing sits at 5.25 hours per resident day, roughly 36% above the national average of 3.86. That part looks strong on paper. What sits underneath is harder to ignore: five deficiencies on the current record, three of them at the harm or jeopardy level, and all five abuse-related. CMS has fined this home six times for a total of $125,508, and the last inspection was October 2022, so the record you're reading is nearly three years old. Weekend staffing also drops about 21% below its own weekday level, meaning the hours aren't spread evenly across the week.
A clean federal record is genuinely uncommon, and Pacific Villas Post Acute has one: zero deficiencies on its current CMS record, none at the harm or immediate-jeopardy level, and nothing abuse-related. Its most recent inspection closed out in March 2025, so that record is recent rather than a stale snapshot from years ago. The catch is that this is a for-profit limited liability company, and a spotless inspection file tells you what surveyors found on one visit, not what daily staffing looks like between visits. Before you commit, ask for the direct-care hours per resident per day and the nursing turnover rate, because those are the numbers a good inspection can't speak to.
Stonehaven runs on more nursing hours than the typical American nursing home, about 4.18 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and that margin is the main thing working in its favor. The catch is timing: weekends drop roughly 13% below the home's own weekday staffing, so the coverage you'd see on a Tuesday isn't what a Saturday looks like. Its inspection record is current, with the most recent visit in June 2025, and five deficiencies on file, none of them serious enough to register as harm or jeopardy and none abuse-related. For-profit, limited-liability ownership is worth knowing going in. Overall, this is a home whose numbers suggest adequate care with a real weekend soft spot.
Desert Ridge Transitional Care Center is a for-profit corporate home in Victorville with a remarkably thin inspection record, a single deficiency on the current books, none of it rising to harm or jeopardy, and nothing abuse-related. Its most recent survey came January 8, 2026, so the picture is fresh rather than dated. On paper, that's the profile of a home that hasn't given state inspectors much to write about. What the federal data can't tell you from here is how it feels on a Tuesday afternoon, staffing ratios, turnover, whether call lights get answered. Ask those questions directly when you visit. A clean record is a starting point, not the whole story.
Emmanuel Care Center - Travis is a for-profit corporation home with 99 certified beds in Fairfield, and its 12 deficiencies on the current record are all below the harm or jeopardy level, no resident was seriously injured by the problems inspectors found, and none of them involved abuse. The last inspection was recent, December 4, 2025, so you're looking at current information rather than a stale snapshot. What the numbers can't tell you from here is staffing: how many nurses and aides are actually on the floor per resident, and how that compares to California and national averages. Ask for the last several months of payroll-based staffing reports and the administrator's turnover before you decide.
Grossmont Gardens is a for-profit corporate home in La Mesa with 16 deficiencies on its current record. None of those rose to the level of actual harm or jeopardy, which matters, that's the line between paperwork problems and a resident getting hurt. One is abuse-related, so ask about that specifically when you tour. The most recent inspection was February 12, 2026, so the record is current rather than stale. Sixteen citations is a lot to work through, though, and the count itself suggests the home struggles to stay ahead of federal requirements rather than catching problems before surveyors do. Worth asking staff how they've addressed the abuse citation and what changed since.
Meadows of Marion runs a for-profit corporate operation with 99 certified beds, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.15 hours per resident day, roughly 8% above the national average of 3.86. That's a real cushion, though weekends dip about 9% below the home's own weekday level, so the coverage your family member gets on a Saturday isn't quite what it is midweek. The inspection record is thin: three deficiencies total, none at the harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related, with the most recent survey completed January 27, 2025. Few problems and recent eyes on the building. The staffing edge and the clean deficiency sheet are what's carrying this one.
Crocker Pointe runs 96 certified beds in Westlake under corporate for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.71 hours per resident day, roughly 4% under the national average of 3.86. The bigger thing to notice is the weekend gap: care hours drop about 10% below the home's own weekday level, so a Saturday or Sunday shift is where you'd want to ask questions. What stands out in the other direction is the record itself: zero deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, and nothing abuse-related, with a state inspection completed January 28, 2025. No home is perfect, but a clean survey plus recent review is a real signal.
Champion Creek runs 4.46 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 16% above the national average, and weekends dip about 13% from its own weekday level, a real gap, though the floor stays higher than most homes' weekday staffing. The home has no deficiencies on its current record at any level, including none tied to abuse, and its last inspection was August 2025. It's a for-profit corporation with 99 certified beds. What the numbers describe is a home that has kept a clean inspection record while staffing above average, with the usual weekend thinning that families should ask about directly.
Overbrook Landing is a for-profit corporation running 83 certified beds in Xenia, and its inspection record is about as clean as it gets: zero deficiencies on the current record, none at the harm or jeopardy level, and nothing abuse-related. That last inspection was recent, too, January 2026, so this isn't a case of a stale, years-old survey carrying an empty record. What the federal data doesn't show is a staffing level sitting comfortably above the national average, and that's usually what separates a home that stays clean from one that just hasn't been caught yet. With no grade computed here, the numbers themselves are the story: nothing wrong on paper, but little cushion either. Ask about actual nurse hours per resident before you decide.
The Heights of Magnolia runs 138 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership in Montgomery County, and its inspection record is unusually clean: a single deficiency on the current record, none at the harm or jeopardy level, and nothing abuse-related. The last full inspection came on August 20, 2025, so the picture is recent rather than a stale survey from years back that may no longer reflect the building.
What the record doesn't show is how the place is staffed day to day. ElderGrade couldn't compute a grade here because the usual staffing and quality measures weren't available, so there's no confirmed comparison against the national average. Before you decide, ask the administrator directly about nurse aide hours per resident per day on evenings and weekends, that's the number that tells you the most.
St. Joseph's Care Center runs 100 certified beds in McGregor under for-profit partnership ownership. Its record shows two deficiencies, one serious enough to reach the harm or jeopardy level, meaning inspectors found a problem that had already hurt or endangered a resident, not just a paperwork gap. One CMS fine totals $12,735. No abuse-related citations are on file, and the most recent inspection, dated June 12, 2025, is recent enough that the findings still describe the home as it operates now. A single harm-level deficiency in a 100-bed building is not a pattern, but it is not nothing either. Ask what happened and what changed afterward.
St. Juanita Retirement and Rehab is a 90-bed for-profit corporate home in San Angelo, and its inspection record is mild enough on its face: five deficiencies, none of them at the harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related, with a very recent survey dated December 23, 2025. What stands out is what isn't there. The home has no computed ElderGrade score, which typically means the underlying CMS data needed to grade it, star ratings, staffing figures, isn't available or complete enough to judge. So a clean deficiency count tells you only that inspectors found little to flag on one visit; it can't tell you whether nurse staffing sits above or below the national average, because that number isn't in the record. Worth asking the administrator directly.
