Staff turnover
25%
Serious cites
0

Danville Regional Rehabilitation is county-owned, and that shows up in the staffing numbers in a good way: turnover runs 24.7%, well below the national 45.8%. Nurses give about 3.58 hours per resident per day, roughly 7% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends are about 16% thinner than weekdays. Inspections are current, the last was June 23, 2025, with 16 deficiencies on record, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, which is the more meaningful detail than the raw count. Quality measures score near the top; the staffing rating sits in the middle.

Heritage Healthcare is county-owned, which matters here: 24 deficiencies on its current record, two of them abuse-related, none at the harm or jeopardy level. The health inspection rating sits at 2 out of 5, and the most recent inspection was August 2025, so that record is recent. Nurse staffing runs 3.42 hours per resident day, about 11 percent under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 11 percent below its own weekday levels. Turnover is 45.5 percent, essentially the national rate. Residents' quality measures score 5 out of 5, and staffing still rates 4 out of 5. The gap between those numbers and the inspection record is what a family should weigh.

Adams Heritage is county-owned, and that shows in the inspection record: three deficiencies on file, none at the harm level, no abuse citations, and a perfect five-star health inspection rating from CMS as of the June 2026 survey. The staffing side tells a different story. At 3.63 nurse hours per resident day, it runs about 6% under the national average of 3.86, weekends dip roughly 5% below its own weekday coverage, and annual turnover sits at 60.5% against a national 45.8%, so the people caring for residents keep changing. Quality measures still score five stars, which suggests the care itself is landing well despite thinner and less stable staffing.

Staff turnover

North River Health Campus is county-owned, which is unusual in this business, and its inspection record is genuinely clean, ten deficiencies on the books, none of them causing harm or jeopardy, none tied to abuse. That matters more than the raw count. The staffing picture is more mixed: 3.77 nurse hours per resident day sits just under the national average, and weekends run about 12% thinner than weekdays, so coverage depends on when you visit or call. Turnover at 48.1% is slightly worse than the national 45.8%, meaning CNAs and nurses cycle through. Ask which caregivers actually know your parent, and how the weekend shift is covered.

Staff turnover

Life Care Center of Rochester runs on county government ownership, and its current record includes 33 deficiencies, four tied to abuse, though none rose to the harm or jeopardy level. Nurse staffing sits at 3.66 hours per resident day, roughly 5% under the national average, with weekends running about 12% thinner than weekdays. Annual turnover is 50.9%, above the 45.8% national figure, so the people showing up are often still learning the building. The 5/5 quality measure rating and a September 2025 inspection are the counterweights, but a 2/5 on health inspections tells you what surveyors have repeatedly found. Ask about staff retention and how weekends are covered before deciding.

Staff turnover

Serious cites
0

George Ade Memorial runs on county money, and the staffing reflects it: 3.53 nurse hours per resident day, about 9% under the national average, with weekends dipping another 9% below its own weekday level. Turnover is the one clear bright spot at 30.8%, well under the national 45.8%, so the aides and nurses who are there tend to stay. The tradeoff shows up in inspections, 26 deficiencies on the current record, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, though nothing abuse-related, and the last survey was recent enough to trust. Quality measures score well; the hands-on care hours and the inspection history are where the gaps sit.

Adams Woodcrest

Decatur, IN · Adams County

Nurse hours

Staff turnover
44%
Serious cites
0

Adams Woodcrest is county-owned, and that shows in the inspection record: two deficiencies total, none causing harm or jeopardy, none tied to abuse, and a survey completed just this past September. The quality measure and health inspection ratings both sit at the top of CMS's scale, which says a lot about how carefully this place is run day to day. Staffing is the trade-off. At 3.36 nurse hours per resident per day, it runs roughly 13% below the national average, and weekends dip about 12% below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins out when families tend to visit. Turnover, at 44.1%, is marginally better than the national figure.

Nurse hours

Staff turnover
43%
Serious cites
0

Cumberland Trace runs on county money, which usually means stable funding but not always sharp management. Staffing sits right at the national average, 3.85 nurse hours per resident day, and turnover at 43.4% is actually a bit better than the typical home, though weekends run about 13% leaner than weekdays, so your Saturday visit may look different from a Tuesday one. The real trouble is the inspection record: 19 deficiencies with 3 at harm or jeopardy level, and a $33,579 fine, all fairly recent as of May 2025. Resident care measures look strong, but that gap between quality scores and survey findings is worth asking about directly.

Staff turnover

Heritage Center is county-owned, and that shows in the staffing: 4.00 nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the national average of 3.86. But weekends run about 12% thinner than weekdays, and turnover sits at 46.8%, slightly worse than the national 45.8%, so the coverage you see on a Tuesday isn't what you get on a Sunday. The inspection record is the bigger concern: 29 deficiencies, two at harm or jeopardy level, one abuse-related, with the last inspection in April 2025. Quality measures score well, but a recent inspection with harm-level findings is the number worth asking the administrator about directly.

Westminster Village North runs 148 beds as a county-owned home, and its inspection record carries 41 deficiencies, one tied to abuse, though none reached the harm or jeopardy level. The most recent inspection was November 24, 2025, so that picture is current. Nurse staffing sits at 3.75 hours per resident day, a bit under the national average of 3.86, and weekends run roughly 8% leaner than weekdays, which is worth asking about if your family visits then. Staff turnover is 44.1%, slightly better than the 45.8% national figure. The quality measure rating of 4 out of 5 is the strongest single number here; the 2 out of 5 on health inspections is the weakest.

Washington Healthcare Center is county-owned, which matters less than what the numbers say about daily life there. Nurse staffing sits at 3.40 hours per resident day, roughly 12% under the national average, and weekends dip about 5% below the home's own weekday levels, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Staff turnover runs 50%, above the 45.8% national figure. The quality measure rating is strong, but that reflects charted care, not hands on the floor. Inspections in August 2025 turned up 25 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, though none were abuse-related.

Staff turnover

The Springs of Mooresville is county-owned, and that shows up in the numbers in a good way. One deficiency on the current record, none of them causing harm or tied to abuse, and a clean five-star inspection rating with a survey done as recently as July 2025, that's a home that gets the basics right. Staffing sits just barely above the national average at 3.89 hours per resident day, though weekends run about 14% thinner than weekdays, so ask how coverage holds up on a Saturday. Turnover at 40.7% is better than the 45.8% national figure but still means roughly two in five caregivers left last year. Solid, not spotless.

Elkhart Meadows is county-owned, and that shows up in its inspection record: six deficiencies total, none of them causing harm and none tied to abuse, with a survey done as recently as September 2025. State inspectors have handed it five stars for health inspections and five for quality measures. Staffing is where it gets thinner. At 3.28 nurse hours per resident day, it's roughly 15 percent under the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage drops about 16 percent against its own weekday level. Turnover, at 44.7 percent, sits right at the national rate of 45.8, ordinary churn, not a crisis. Strong oversight, shaky day-to-day floor coverage.

Prairie Village runs on city/county money out in Daviess County, and the numbers tell a mixed story. Nurse staffing sits at 3.87 hours per resident day, essentially dead even with the national average, but weekends drop roughly 18% below what the home staffs on weekdays, so coverage thins out when families tend to visit. The standout figure is turnover: 23.3% against a national average of 45.8%, meaning aides and nurses here tend to stay put, which matters for familiarity and consistency of care. Seventeen deficiencies sit on the current record, none at harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related. The last inspection was May 2025, so the picture is recent.

Hamilton Pointe runs a county-owned home of 115 beds, and its nurse staffing sits slightly above the national average at 3.95 hours per resident day. That edge thins on weekends, when coverage drops roughly 15% below its own weekday level, and turnover runs 56.3% against a national 45.8%, you're likely meeting a lot of new aides. The quality scores look strong, but the inspection record is where the picture shifts: 44 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy, from an inspection dated August 2025. County ownership doesn't erase that paper trail. Ask about the plan behind that harm citation and how weekend coverage gets filled.

Majestic Care of Sheridan runs on thin staffing, 3.24 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 16% under the national average, and weekends dip about 10% below its own weekday levels. That's the weakest part of the picture, and it's why the federal staffing rating sits at 2 out of 5. What offsets it: turnover is remarkably low at 19.6% against a national average near 46%, which means the aides and nurses who are there tend to stay, and continuity matters when hours are scarce. The county-owned home carries eight deficiencies on its current record, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, with a recent April 2026 inspection. Quality measures score 5 out of 5 and inspections 4 out of 5. Ask about weekend coverage specifically.

West River Health Campus is county-owned and sits at 61 certified beds in Evansville. Nurse staffing averages 4.14 hours per resident day, roughly 7% above the national average, though weekends run about 3% lighter than weekdays. Staff turnover comes in at 46.2%, which lands almost exactly on the national rate of 45.8%, no real advantage there either way. The inspection record shows 18 deficiencies, 2 of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, with one fine of $18,655. Quality measures score well and the most recent inspection was August 2025, so the picture is current. Solid care metrics, but the harm-level citations and average turnover are the parts worth asking about directly.

The Villages at Oak Ridge is county-owned, which usually means steadier oversight but not necessarily richer staffing, and that shows here. Nurses provide 3.66 hours per resident per day, about 5% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 14% below what the home itself staffs on weekdays. Turnover sits at 50.8%, noticeably above the 45.8% national figure, so families should expect some churn in who's providing daily care. The current record shows 16 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the last inspection in April 2025. Quality measures score well; staffing and inspections land in the middle.

Harrison Terrace is county-owned, licensed for 110 beds, and its most recent inspection came in September 2025, recent enough that the record reflects current conditions. That record shows 18 deficiencies, but none at the harm or jeopardy level and none tied to abuse, which matters more than the raw count suggests. Where the numbers get thinner is staffing: 3.60 nurse hours per resident day runs about 7% under the national average, weekend coverage dips roughly 15% below its own weekday level, and turnover sits at 50.7% against a national 45.8%. The quality measure rating holds at 4 of 5, but the inspection and staffing ratings both land at 2. If you're weighing this one, ask how the weekend shift is actually covered.

Riveroaks Health Campus

Staff turnover
36%

Riveroaks runs on 3.27 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 15% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends are thinner still, about 19% below its own weekday coverage. That's the trade-off behind a middle-tier staffing picture. Two things offset it: turnover sits at 36.4%, well below the 45.8% national figure, so the aides showing up have generally stayed, and the quality measure score is perfect at 5/5. The 20 deficiencies on record include nothing at the harm level and nothing abuse-related, and the county last inspected in December 2025. County ownership means public accountability, but also budgets set by people who don't work the floor.
