Jnh-Jaquith Inn runs on 5.14 total nurse staffing hours per resident day, roughly a third more than the national average, and that shows up in the federal star ratings: five out of five on staffing and on quality measures, four on health inspections. Weekend coverage drops about 19% from weekday levels, worth asking about if your family visits Saturdays or Sundays. Staff turnover sits at 51.7%, higher than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for how well anyone knows your parent. Seven deficiencies on the current record, none causing harm and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in February 2026. It's state-run, which shapes both the accountability and the pace of change.

Carl T Curtis Health Education Center runs on a federal government license in Macy, and its nurse staffing sits at 5.15 hours per resident day, roughly a third more than the national average of 3.86. That's the number driving its five-star staffing rating, and turnover of 32.4% is well below the 45.8% national figure, which suggests people stick around. Weekends do run about 18% lighter than weekdays, so ask how that's covered. Inspectors logged 11 deficiencies, none at the harm level, but one tied to abuse, worth asking about directly. The last inspection was January 29, 2026, so the record is current.

Gordon Countryside Care runs on a government hospital district model, and the numbers show a facility that's been kept in decent shape. Nurse staffing sits at 4.30 hours per resident day, about 11% above the national average, and the staff actually stay, 31.3% turnover against a national rate of 45.8%. Inspectors were last in on September 23, 2025, and the 12 deficiencies on record include nothing at the harm level and nothing abuse-related. The one soft spot: weekend staffing drops roughly 16% below what the home runs during the week, so coverage on Saturdays and Sundays isn't quite what families see Monday through Friday.

New Jersey Veterans Memorial Vineland runs a state-owned, 300-bed operation where the staffing numbers stand out: 5.13 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a third more than the national average, with a 5-out-of-5 staffing rating and turnover at 32.9% against a national 45.8%. Weekend coverage dips about 17% below weekdays, which is worth asking about if your visits fall on Saturdays or Sundays. The weaker side is inspections, a 2-out-of-5 health inspection rating, nine deficiencies on record, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, though none abuse-related. The most recent inspection was September 2025, so the record is current.

Spartanburg Hospital For Restorative Care runs just 25 certified beds, and its staffing reflects that small, hospital-linked setup: 6.13 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 59% above the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips about 17% below its own weekday level, and annual turnover sits at 47.8%, a bit above the 45.8% national figure, worth asking about if consistency matters to you. The inspection record is otherwise clean: one deficiency total, none at harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection on November 19, 2025. Government ownership, five stars across health inspections, quality measures, and staffing.

Zuckerberg San Francisco General's skilled nursing unit is run by the city and county, and it shows in the numbers: 8.33 nurse hours per resident day, roughly double the national average. Weekend staffing dips about 14 percent below its own weekday level, which is worth knowing if your family visits or calls on Saturdays and Sundays. The current record carries 12 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, and the last inspection was in January 2026. With 30 beds, it's small enough that staffing and oversight stay close to the residents.

Gulf Coast Medical Center's skilled nursing unit runs on government ownership through the hospital district, and the numbers show a place that's mostly held together by staffing. At 5.82 nurse hours per resident day, it's about half again the national average, and turnover sits at 19.3% against a national 45.8%, unusually stable for the industry. Weekend coverage dips only about 11% below weekdays. Inspections tell a messier story: a 5-star health inspection rating, but six deficiencies on record, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and a $14,521 fine. The last inspection was August 2023, so the record is dated. Quality measures land at 4 stars. Strong staffing and low turnover are real, but that one harm-level deficiency is the detail worth asking about directly.

Syringa Chalet runs on state government ownership in Blackfoot, and the numbers show a home that's mostly getting the fundamentals right. Nurse staffing sits at 5.79 hours per resident day, roughly half again the national average, and weekend coverage dips only about 9% below weekdays, so care doesn't fall off a cliff on Saturdays and Sundays. Turnover runs 37.3%, better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters because familiar faces tend to know residents' routines. The tradeoff: 22 deficiencies on the current record, two of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and one fine of $13,923. Inspectors were last in on January 22, 2026, so that picture is current.

Pioneer Manor is county-owned, and the staffing numbers show it: 4.68 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a fifth above the national average, and a five-star staffing rating to match. Turnover sits at 37.3%, better than the 45.8% national figure, though weekend coverage dips about 12% below weekday levels, so care can thin out on Saturdays and Sundays. The trouble is inspections. The current record carries 23 deficiencies, three of them at the level where a resident was harmed or put in immediate jeopardy, and one abuse-related. The health inspection rating is 1 out of 5, and the most recent survey was in December 2024. Strong staffing is real, but it hasn't kept the home out of serious trouble.

Radcliff Veterans Center is state-run, so it answers to Kentucky rather than a chain or a private operator. The staffing is the strongest part of the picture: 5.60 nurse hours per resident day, well above the 3.86 national average, though weekends drop off by roughly 14 percent compared with weekdays. Turnover sits at 34.2 percent, better than the 45.8 percent national figure. The inspection record pulls the other way. Seven deficiencies are on file, two of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and two tied to abuse. One fine totaling $9,331 has been levied, and the most recent inspection was in March 2025. Good coverage on paper, but a citation history worth asking about directly.

Field Crest is a 35-bed city-owned home in Hayfield, and the numbers suggest it runs with more staff than most places its size. At 5.29 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 37% above the national average of 3.86, and weekend staffing only dips about 5% below its own weekday level, a small gap compared to what many homes show. Turnover runs 36.8%, better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for whether you see the same faces on repeat visits. Its record shows one deficiency total, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, with a February 2026 inspection. City ownership and that thin deficiency history together point to a stable, closely watched building.

Parkview Home runs on a city/county budget in a town of about 400 people, and its staffing reflects that kind of stability: 4.07 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 6% above the national average, with turnover at 29.2% against a national 45.8%. Weekends thin out about 9% below weekday coverage, which is worth asking about if your family member needs more help on Saturdays and Sundays. The trouble sits on the inspection side, 20 deficiencies on the current record, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse, plus a $14,521 fine. That mix of strong daily care and serious paperwork problems is what pulls the overall picture down.

Wakefield Health Care Center is city-owned, and its 40 beds get 5.05 nursing hours per resident per day, roughly a third more than the national average. Staff turnover sits at 33.3%, well below the 45.8% national figure, though weekend coverage dips about 7% from weekday levels. The tradeoff shows up in its record: 17 deficiencies, five tied to abuse, but none at the harm or jeopardy level, and the most recent inspection was in July 2025. A 4 out of 5 on health inspections and a 3 on quality measures round out a home that's better staffed than most, with a survey history worth asking about directly.

Cheshire County Home runs on a county government budget, and the numbers suggest that arrangement is working. Nurse staffing sits at 4.49 hours per resident day, about 16 percent above the national average, and the federal staffing rating reflects it. Weekend coverage does dip roughly 8 percent below weekday levels, so ask about Saturday and Sunday shifts specifically. Staff turnover of 36.1 percent is meaningfully lower than the national 45.8 percent, which matters for whether your family sees the same faces month to month. The home's nine deficiencies include nothing tied to harm, jeopardy, or abuse, and its last inspection was recent, in September 2025. Quality measures score well too.

Rex Rehab & Nursing Care Center runs on 4.30 nurse hours per resident per day, about 11% above the national average, and its staff turnover of 33.3% sits well below the typical 45.8%, numbers that suggest a steadier workforce than most. The catch is weekends, when staffing drops roughly 11% below the home's own weekday level, so coverage isn't uniform across the week. On inspections, the record shows 9 deficiencies with 1 at the harm level and one fine of $15,646; the last visit was August 2025. Government hospital-district ownership, 120 beds.

The Ohio Veterans Home in Georgetown runs on state money, and the staffing shows it: 5.61 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 45% above the national average. Weekends dip about 13% below its own weekday level, so coverage tightens then, but the floor stays high. Staff turnover sits at 40.5%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure. Inspectors logged 19 deficiencies on the current record, none causing harm or jeopardy and none abuse-related, with the last visit in May 2023. The 168-bed home earns four stars each for health inspections and quality measures, five for staffing. What stands out is consistency: enough nurses, no serious findings, and a workforce that stays longer than most.

Cedarbrook is a county-run home in Allentown with 670 beds, and the staffing picture is the strongest thing it has going. At 4.00 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 4% above the national average, and turnover of 28.5% is well below the 45.8% national figure, a real advantage for a building this size, since consistent staff usually means residents see familiar faces. Weekends run roughly 10% lighter than weekdays, so ask how that plays out on the halls. Sixteen deficiencies on the current record, none at harm or jeopardy level, though two are abuse-related and worth asking about directly. The last inspection was April 2026, so the record is recent.

Fircrest is state-owned and sits at 110 beds in Seattle, and the staffing number is the part that stands out: 9.32 nurse hours per resident day, roughly two and a half times the national average. Weekend coverage slips about 5% below weekday levels, which is mild compared to most homes. Turnover runs 50.5%, a bit above the 45.8% national figure, so you'll want to ask how they hold onto direct-care staff. The inspection record shows 36 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, though two are abuse-related, worth asking about directly. State surveyors were last in on November 7, 2025, so the record is recent.

Wildflower Court is run by the City and Borough of Juneau, and its staffing reflects that public backing: 7.23 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 87% above the national average of 3.86, with weekends dipping only about 6% below its own weekday levels. Turnover sits at 45.7%, essentially identical to the national 45.8%, no better, no worse. The trade-off shows up in its record: 28 deficiencies, though none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection dated June 12, 2026. For a family weighing constant nursing presence against paperwork problems that haven't hurt anyone, the numbers point toward the care itself being the stronger part of this home.

Bent County Healthcare Center is county-owned and runs 4.01 nurse staffing hours per resident day, slightly above the national average, with a CMS staffing score of 5 out of 5 and turnover at 42.6%, better than the national 45.8%. Weekends, though, run about 11% leaner than weekdays, so ask how that gap gets covered. The record shows 26 deficiencies, two of them at the harm or jeopardy level, plus one fine of $13,442; no abuse citations. The last inspection was May 1, 2025. Quality measures score 4 out of 5, inspections 3. Solid staffing and low turnover, but those two serious deficiencies are worth asking about directly.
