Staff turnover
25%
Serious cites
0

Southfield Village is county-owned, and that shows in the staffing: 3.94 nurse hours per resident day, just above the national average, with a 4-out-of-5 staffing rating. Weekend coverage dips only about 5% below weekdays, which is mild, and turnover sits at 25% against a national 45.8%, people tend to stay. The catch is inspections. Twenty-one deficiencies are on record, none involving harm or abuse, and the last visit was January 13, 2026, so it's recent. A 2-out-of-5 inspection rating alongside 5-out-of-5 quality measures describes a home that cares for residents well but has real documentation and process problems to clean up.

Staff turnover
25%
Serious cites

Timbercrest runs on 4.62 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a fifth more staffing than the typical American nursing home, and it earns the top federal staffing rating for it. Weekend coverage dips about 7% below weekday levels, which is a real gap but a modest one. Staff turnover sits at 25%, well under the national 45.8%, so the people caring for residents tend to stay. The health inspection record shows 11 deficiencies, none involving harm, jeopardy, or abuse, and the most recent inspection was in August 2025. County-owned and small at 65 beds, it pairs strong quality measure scores with a solid but not flawless inspection history.

Heritage Pointe of Fort Wayne runs on county government ownership, and the numbers show a home that's been steady for a while. Nurse staffing sits at 4.40 hours per resident day, roughly 14% above the national average, and weekend coverage only dips about 8% below its own weekday level, a smaller gap than many places manage. Turnover is the standout: 14.8% against a national average of 45.8%, meaning the people caring for residents largely stick around. The current record shows 5 deficiencies, none at the harm level, though 2 are abuse-related, which is worth asking about directly. The last inspection was January 2026, and both the health inspection and quality measure ratings came back at 5 out of 5.

Lutheran Life Villages runs 99 certified beds in Kendallville under county government ownership, and its inspection record is the cleanest part of the story: five deficiencies on file, none of them causing harm or jeopardy, none tied to abuse, with the most recent state visit in March 2026. Staffing is where the numbers get more ordinary. At 3.71 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 4% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip roughly 8% below its own weekday coverage. Annual turnover of 40.3% is better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for whether you see the same faces month to month.

Northwest Manor is county-owned, which is unusual in this business, and it shows in the workforce: only 24.2% of staff left last year, well under the national rate of 45.8%. Nurse staffing sits at 3.96 hours per resident day, running slightly above the national average, though weekends dip about 14% below the home's own weekday coverage. The tradeoff is on inspections. Sixteen deficiencies sit on the current record, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and the health inspection rating is 2 out of 5. Quality measures score 5 out of 5, and the last inspection was May 13, 2026. Stable staff, respectable daily coverage, but a survey history worth asking about directly.

The Health Center at Glenburn Home runs on 4.39 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 14 percent above the national average, and its staff turnover of 27.9 percent is well below the 45.8 percent national figure, a sign people tend to stay. Weekend staffing dips about 12 percent below its own weekday level, so ask how that plays out on Saturdays. County-owned, 133 beds, three separate four-star ratings from CMS on health inspections, quality measures, and staffing. Eleven deficiencies on record, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in August 2025. Solid, consistent numbers across the board.

Covered Bridge Health Campus is county-owned, and that shows in the numbers. Nurses provide 4.25 hours of care per resident each day, roughly 10% more than the national average of 3.86, and staff turnover sits at 18.8% against a national rate of 45.8%, people here tend to stay. Inspections back that up: 11 deficiencies on record with none at the harm level, though one is abuse-related, worth asking about directly. Weekend staffing dips about 13% below weekdays. The last inspection was in February 2026, so the record is current.

Woodbridge Health Campus is county-owned, and the numbers suggest that public ownership here comes with real attention to care. The health inspection record is strong, four stars, with 11 deficiencies on file and none of them serious enough to cause harm or jeopardy. Staff turnover sits at 28.6%, well under the national average of 45.8%, which matters for residents who need consistent faces. The tradeoff is daily staffing: 3.66 nurse hours per resident falls about 5% under the national average, and weekends dip roughly 14% below weekdays. Families should ask how that weekend gap gets covered. With a recent June 2025 inspection and solid quality measures, the care fundamentals look dependable, just go in knowing weekday and weekend coverage aren't identical.

Life Care Center Of Valparaiso runs on county ownership, and the numbers mostly hold up. Nurse staffing sits at 3.60 hours per resident day, about 7% under the national average, and weekends dip roughly 11% below its own weekday level, worth asking about if your family visits on Saturdays. What stands out is retention: 23.3% turnover against a national 45.8% means aides and nurses tend to stay, which matters more for daily care than a staffing headline. The inspection record is clean where it counts, 17 deficiencies on file, none at harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related, with a January 2026 inspection keeping it current.

Hickory Creek At Winamac is county-owned, and the 36-bed size means it runs small enough that staffing numbers matter more than they would at a bigger place. Nurses provide 3.29 hours per resident day, about 15% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly another 10% below the home's own weekday coverage. That's the tradeoff worth knowing about: nine deficiencies on record, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with an inspection as recent as November 2025. Turnover sits at 21.7% against a national 45.8%, so the aides and nurses here tend to stay.

31%
Serious cites
0

Williamsport Nursing and Rehabilitation is county-owned, which matters here: 31.4% annual turnover is well under the 45.8% national average, and its 4/5 staffing star reflects that relative stability. But total nurse hours come to 3.48 per resident day, roughly 10% under the national average, and weekends run about 13% below the home's own weekday staffing, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. The 27 deficiencies on record include none flagged at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, though a 2/5 health inspection star and a June 2025 inspection mean the survey history is the weaker part of the picture. Quality measures score 4/5.

Homeview Center of Franklin is county-owned, and that shows in how it's run: five deficiencies on the current record with none at the harm level and none tied to abuse, plus a clean five-star inspection history and a recent survey from March 2026. Staffing sits at 3.65 nurse hours per resident day, about 5% under the national average, and weekends run roughly 8% thinner than weekdays, so ask how that gap gets covered. Turnover is 38.4%, better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for whether you see the same faces. The quality measures also score at the top.

Rawlins House is county-owned, which is unusual in Indiana, and its inspection record is stronger than most: a recent December 2025 survey, twelve deficiencies with none at the harm level. The catch is staffing. At 3.26 nurse hours per resident day, it runs roughly 15% under the national average, and weekends dip about 9% below its own weekday numbers, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Turnover sits at 44.8%, essentially the national rate. One abuse-related deficiency is on the books. Quality measures score well, but that data comes from the building's own reporting. If you're considering it, ask how the weekend shift is actually covered.

Heritage Pointe of Warren is county-owned, and the numbers suggest that public ownership is working in residents' favor here. Nurse staffing sits at 4.43 hours per resident day, about 15% above the national average, though weekends run roughly 7% leaner than weekdays, worth asking about if your family visits on Saturdays or Sundays. Staff turnover is 41.5%, better than the 45.8% national figure but still a reminder that consistent caregivers matter. Eleven deficiencies on record, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in April 2026. The three CMS star ratings, inspection, quality measures, and staffing, all land at four out of five.

Wellbrooke Of South Bend runs on county money, and the staffing reflects that: 4.31 nurse hours per resident day, about 12% above the national average. Weekends dip roughly 11% below its own weekday level, so the coverage you see on a Tuesday isn't quite what you get on a Saturday. Turnover sits at 40.7%, better than the 45.8% national figure but still meaning four in ten caregivers left last year. The record shows 17 deficiencies, one serious enough to involve harm, no abuse findings, and the last inspection was April 2026. The quality measures look strong; the inspection side is where the caution lives.

Morristown Manor runs on a county-owned model with 119 certified beds along the western edge of Shelby County. Its overall nurse staffing sits at 3.59 hours per resident day, about 7% under the national figure, and weekends drop roughly 12% below what the home staffs during the week, worth asking about if your family tends to visit Saturdays and Sundays. Turnover is the bright spot, at 33% against a national average near 46%, and that stability shows up in the quality measure rating. The current inspection record carries 31 deficiencies, two at the harm level and seven flagged as abuse-related, which isn't a small number. The last state visit was in May 2025, so the picture is reasonably current.

The Indiana Veterans Home in West Lafayette runs on a state government operation with 212 certified beds, and the nurse staffing numbers are genuinely strong, 5.61 hours per resident day puts it roughly 45% above the national average of 3.86. That's real coverage on paper, though weekends dip about 15% below its own weekday levels, and annual turnover sits at 64.2% against a national 45.8%, so the floor is covered but the faces change often. The inspection record carries 19 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse, with a 3/5 health inspection rating and the most recent survey dated December 2025.

Oakwood Health Campus runs on county money in Tell City, and the numbers tell a mixed story. Nurse staffing sits at 3.38 hours per resident day, about 13 percent under the national average, and weekends run roughly 12 percent thinner than weekdays, so if you're visiting on a Saturday, expect fewer hands on deck. What stands out in the other direction is turnover: 33.8 percent versus a national 45.8 percent, which suggests people here tend to stay. The current record shows 11 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse, which is worth asking about directly.

Parkview Haven is a 42-bed county-owned home in Francesville, and the single most encouraging number is its staff turnover: 21.1% a year against a national average of 45.8%. Keeping caregivers in place matters more than almost anything else in a building this small. The tradeoff shows up in staffing levels, which CMS rates near the bottom, and in 22 deficiencies on the current record, including two tied to abuse, though none rose to actual harm or jeopardy. Quality measures come in above average, and the last inspection was recent, in June 2025. Read the survey report yourself and ask how they're covering shifts.

Springhurst Health Campus is county-owned, and that shows in the staffing numbers: 4.30 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 11% above the national average, with turnover at 38.7% compared to 45.8% nationally. Weekend coverage dips about 14% below weekday levels, so families should ask how that plays out on Saturdays and Sundays. The inspection record is the harder part, 25 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and two abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in June 2025. Quality measures score well, but a 2/5 on health inspections means the care process has had real problems, recent enough to matter.
