The Lutheran Home runs 4.54 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 17% above the national average, and weekends dip only about 8% below its own weekday level, a modest drop, not a cliff. Staff turnover sits at 34.9%, well under the 45.8% national figure, which matters for whether caregivers actually stick around long enough to know residents. Its last inspection was March 2025, with 8 deficiencies on record, none at the harm level and none abuse-related. A 274-bed nonprofit carrying 5/5 stars across health inspection, quality measures, and staffing is rare company. The numbers here are consistent, not lucky.

The Jeanne Jugan Center runs 52 certified beds in Kansas City under nonprofit ownership, and the numbers back up that mission-driven setup. Nurse staffing sits at 3.93 hours per resident day, a bit above the national average, with weekend coverage dipping about 10% below weekdays, worth asking about if your family visits on Saturdays or Sundays. Staff turnover is 34.1%, well under the national 45.8%, which matters because consistent caregivers know residents' routines. On inspections, the record is clean where it counts: four deficiencies total, none at the harm level, none abuse-related, and the most recent inspection was in August 2025. Quality measures score mid-range, so care outcomes look solid rather than exceptional.

Phelps Health runs a small operation, 20 certified beds, and it's licensed as a nonprofit. The staffing numbers stand out: 7.56 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly double the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage holds within about 9% of its weekday level, which is a smaller drop than many homes see. Turnover sits at 50%, a bit above the 45.8% national figure, so the people caring for residents do change fairly often. On the regulatory side, the record is clean: one deficiency total, none involving harm or abuse, and a five-star inspection rating with a survey completed in late November 2025.

Madison Medical Center is county-owned, and its 4.10 nurse hours per resident day sits about 6% above the national average, with a five-star staffing rating to back it up. Turnover runs 38.3%, noticeably better than the 45.8% national figure, so the people caring for residents tend to stay. Five deficiencies on record, none involving harm or abuse, and the last inspection was recent. The one thing to ask about: weekend staffing drops roughly 19% below weekday levels, so visit on a Saturday if you can.

Lake Regional Health Systems runs a small 16-bed unit inside a hospital system, and its nurse staffing sits at 9.33 hours per resident per day, roughly two and a half times the national figure. That's an unusual level of coverage, and it shows in the four-out-of-five staffing star, held back mainly by turnover of 61.9% against a national 45.8%. The inspection record is clean where it counts: three deficiencies total, none at harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related, which is worth asking about directly. A five-star inspection and five-star quality rating from a September 2025 survey round out a strong picture, with weekend staffing running about 9% lighter than weekdays.

Hope Care Center runs on a small scale, 16 beds, nonprofit owned, and the staffing reflects that attention. At 4.51 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 17% above the national average of 3.86, though weekend coverage drops roughly 17% below its own weekday level, so care may thin out on Saturdays and Sundays. The inspection record shows 27 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, with one tied to abuse. State surveyors were last in the building in September 2025, so the picture is current. Quality measures score at the top of CMS's scale, and the health inspection rating is strong, but that abuse-related citation is worth asking about directly before you decide.

Staffing is the strongest thing going for this nonprofit home in Chesterfield, 4.72 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 22% above the national average, which earned it a top federal staffing rating. Turnover sits at 44.3%, slightly better than the national average of 45.8%, though weekend coverage drops about 11% below its own weekday levels, so ask how that plays out on Saturdays and Sundays. Its inspection record shows 13 deficiencies with nothing at the harm level, but one is abuse-related, worth asking about directly. The last full inspection was in August 2024, so the record is reasonably current.

Lincoln Community Care Center runs on 3.81 nurse hours per resident day, just under the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage drops roughly 14% from its weekday level, a gap worth asking about if your family visits on Saturdays or Sundays. Staff turnover sits at 29.3%, well below the national 45.8%, so the aides and nurses here tend to stay. The inspection record shows 11 deficiencies, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and a single fine of $13,667; the most recent inspection was in January 2026.

Cox Medical Centers Meyer Orthopedic and Surgical runs 28 certified beds in Springfield, and the staffing numbers here are unusual: 10.00 nurse hours per resident day, roughly two and a half times the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage actually edges out weekdays, so care doesn't thin out when families tend to visit. The tradeoff is retention, 54.5% annual turnover, well above the 45.8% national figure, meaning the people delivering those hours keep changing. Inspections look strong on paper: a 5/5 health inspection rating, four deficiencies total, none causing harm or involving abuse, and a survey as recent as May 2024. Nonprofit ownership with that staffing cushion is a real advantage; just ask how they hold onto nurses.

Bishop Spencer Place runs a nonprofit shop with 57 beds, and the staffing numbers stand out: 5.46 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 41% above the national average. Turnover sits at 40.6%, better than the 45.8% norm, though weekend coverage dips about 19% below weekday levels. The tradeoff shows up in its record, 25 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one tied to abuse, plus an $8,021 fine. Last inspection was January 2026, so the picture is current. Strong hands on deck, but a survey history that needs watching.

Shirkey runs on county money, which usually means steadier budgets than the for-profit chains, and the staffing numbers bear that out, 4.08 nurse hours per resident day, about 6% above the national average. Turnover sits at 37.6%, well under the 45.8% national figure, so the people caring for your relative are more likely to still be there next year. The catch is on record: 47 deficiencies, one at the level that signals actual harm or jeopardy, and two tied to abuse. Inspectors were last in on May 8, 2025. Weekend coverage drops roughly 10% from weekday levels, so ask specifically who is on the floor on Saturdays.

Baptist Homes of Adrian runs 38 certified beds as a nonprofit, and its inspection history looks solid: seven deficiencies on the current record, none at the harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related, and a survey completed in November 2025. The staffing picture is where you'll want to pay attention. At 3.76 nurse hours per resident day, it sits just under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 1% below its own weekday levels. Annual turnover of 54.5% runs well above the 45.8% national figure, which matters in a small building where residents see the same faces day to day.

Friendship Village Chesterfield runs a nonprofit home of 98 beds in St. Louis County, and the staffing numbers are its strongest card: 4.40 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 14 percent above the national average, which is why CMS gives it five stars on staffing. The catch is consistency, weekend coverage drops about 13 percent below its own weekday level, so care on a Saturday isn't quite what it is on a Tuesday. Turnover sits at 46.6 percent, essentially the national rate. Inspections from September 2024 produced 21 deficiencies, none at the harm level, but four tied to abuse.

Friendship Village Sunset Hills runs 4.60 nurse staffing hours per resident day, about 19% above the national average of 3.86, a real margin, though weekends dip roughly 4% below its own weekday level. That strong staffing sits alongside a rougher inspection record: 24 deficiencies on file, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, with a single fine of $14,433 and a January 2025 inspection. Staff turnover of 48.1% edges past the national 45.8%, meaning the people providing that above-average care are still cycling out. High staffing hours and a meaningful resident census don't erase what inspectors found here.

Maranatha Village runs on better-than-average nursing hours, 3.94 per resident day against a national 3.86, and its 40.8% turnover comes in under the 45.8% typical elsewhere, which matters for whether your family sees the same faces month to month. Weekend coverage drops roughly 14% below weekday levels, so pay attention to Saturday and Sunday care if you visit then. The 26 deficiencies on record include five tied to abuse, none reaching harm or jeopardy level, and the last full inspection was April 2024. Quality measures score at the top of CMS's scale, with staffing close behind; inspections sit in the middle.

Kingdom Care Senior Living runs 36 certified beds in Fulton under for-profit limited liability ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.89 hours per resident day, barely above the national average of 3.86, roughly a 1% edge. That thin margin matters because weekend coverage drops about 11% below the home's own weekday levels, so the hours aren't spread evenly across the week. The current record shows 21 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related. State inspectors last visited in September 2024, and the home's quality measure rating comes in at the top of the scale while its inspection and staffing ratings each land at 4 out of 5.

Bethesda Southgate runs on better-than-average staffing for a 130-bed nonprofit home in St. Louis County, 4.32 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 12% above the national figure. Weekend coverage dips about 12% below its own weekday level, and annual turnover sits at 31.5%, well under the 45.8% national average, which suggests people tend to stay. The tradeoff shows up in the record: 15 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, against an otherwise strong inspection history from July 2024. Quality measure scores land mid-range, so the clinical picture is decent but not standout.

Aberdeen Heights runs a genuinely strong staffing operation: 4.86 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter above the national average, and a perfect federal staffing star to match. The catch is turnover, which sits at 65.4% against a national average of 45.8%, that much churn undercuts consistency even when the daily hours look good on paper, and weekend coverage drops about 14% below weekday levels. Inspections are current and clean where it counts: nine deficiencies on record, none at harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related.

Nurse staffing at Mccrite Plaza runs about 5.92 hours per resident day, well above the national average of 3.86, which is the main reason its staffing rating holds at 4 out of 5. That coverage thins on weekends, dropping roughly 9% below weekday levels, and 54.5% of staff turned over in the past year, higher than the 45.8% national figure, so the people providing that care keep changing. The inspection record is the weaker side: 37 deficiencies, including two at the harm level and one tied to abuse, plus a $31,280 fine. With a 2/5 health inspection rating and a December 2024 inspection, the compliance history is worth asking about directly.

Garden View Care Center Of Chesterfield runs a for-profit corporate home with 52 certified beds, and its nurse staffing sits at 5.39 hours per resident day, roughly 40% above the national average of 3.86. That's real coverage, though weekend hours dip about 8% below the home's own weekday level, and annual staff turnover is 61.6% against a national average of 45.8%. The current record shows 21 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, but two tied to abuse, with the last inspection dated January 9, 2025. High staffing and clean harm-level findings carry weight; the turnover and abuse citations are the parts a family should ask about directly.
