Algart Health Care

Nurse hours

Staff turnover
41%

Algart Health Care sits on Cleveland's west side with 78 certified beds and a for-profit corporate owner. The numbers that matter most here are clean: five deficiencies on the current record, none of them causing harm or jeopardy, and none related to abuse. That's a record inspectors last reviewed in September 2025, and the 5-star health inspection rating reflects it. Staffing is where the picture gets more mixed. At 3.55 nurse hours per resident day, Algart runs about 8 percent under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 11 percent below its own weekday levels, worth asking about if your family member needs help on Saturdays and Sundays. Turnover, at 41.3 percent, is actually better than the 45.8 percent national figure.

Larchwood Care runs on a for-profit LLC model with 74 certified beds, and its nurse staffing sits at 5.88 hours per resident day, roughly half again what the national average of 3.86 looks like, though weekend coverage drops about 11% below its own weekday numbers. Turnover runs 42.3%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure, and the current inspection record shows 19 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse. CMS rated its last inspection 4 out of 5 stars and its quality measures a full 5, with staffing at 3. The most recent survey was September 8, 2025, so what's on file is fresh, and the abuse citations are the piece worth asking about directly before you decide.

Slovene Home For The Aged is a 104-bed nonprofit in Cleveland, and the numbers pull in different directions. On the clinical side, residents' quality measures rate well above average, and the 25 deficiencies on record include nothing flagged at the harm or jeopardy level and nothing abuse-related, a record that could be considerably worse. The staffing picture is the problem: CMS gives it one star, meaning nurse coverage sits well below what most homes in Ohio report. With the last inspection in September 2024, the survey history is recent. If you're weighing this one, ask directly how many nurses are on the floor on evenings and weekends, because that's where the gap shows up.

Staff turnover

Judson Park runs a small 36-bed operation in Cleveland, and the nurse staffing number stands out, 8.10 hours per resident day, more than double the national average. That cushion matters, though weekends dip about 21% below the home's own weekday coverage, so care may feel thinner on Saturdays and Sundays. The inspection record shows 10 deficiencies, two serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, plus one fine of $25,847; the last full inspection was in January 2023, so that picture is getting stale. Nonprofit ownership and solid marks on health, quality, and staffing all point to a home that's generally doing right by residents, with the weekend gap and those two harm-level findings the things worth asking about directly.

Singleton Health Care Center runs about 3.28 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 15% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop another 14% below its own weekday staffing. Turnover sits at 39.6%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure. The current inspection record shows 24 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, but three tied to abuse. Inspectors were last in on November 18, 2024, and the health inspection and quality measure ratings both come in at 4 out of 5 stars, with staffing at 3. That mix, solid survey results against thinner daily coverage, is worth weighing when you visit.

Westpark sits in Cleveland with 99 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership. Its nurse staffing works out to essentially the national average, 3.85 hours per resident day against 3.86, though weekends run about 16% thinner than weekdays, and turnover is 48.9%, a few points above the 45.8% national figure. On inspections, the record shows 18 deficiencies with two tied to abuse, but none at the harm or jeopardy level, and the most recent look came January 29, 2026. Quality measures score well and inspection history is solid. The practical read: adequate weekday coverage, shakier weekends, and a staff retention problem worth asking about directly.

St Augustine Manor runs 4.59 nurse hours per resident day, about 19% above the national average, and its quality measure score is perfect. That's the good news. The staffing star rating sits at 2 out of 5, though, because weekend coverage drops roughly 15% below what the home staffs on weekdays, so the weekly average hides a real dip when families tend to visit. Inspections in May 2024 turned up 15 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related. Those aren't paperwork problems. A nonprofit with 220 beds and strong clinical marks still has to answer for what happens on its worst days.

Aristos runs about 3.27 nursing hours per resident per day, roughly 15% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop another 7% below the home's own weekday coverage. Annual turnover sits at 54.3%, nearly nine points above the national figure, with 41 deficiencies on record, one abuse-related, none at harm level, and a 2/5 inspection rating, though the most recent survey was in late September 2025. The quality measure star of 4/5 suggests the clinical data looks better than the staffing and inspection picture. For-profit corporate ownership means decisions about wages and coverage get made elsewhere, which is worth asking about directly.

Eliza Jennings Home

Staff turnover

Eliza Jennings Home runs 4.10 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 6% above the national average, and its staffing star rating reflects that. The catch is consistency: weekend coverage drops about 8% below its own weekday levels, and annual turnover sits at 60.5% against a national average of 45.8%, so the people delivering that care keep changing. On inspections, the record shows 19 deficiencies with none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, and the most recent visit was November 2023, getting close to two and a half years old. A nonprofit with 126 beds, decent inspection history, and real staffing investment, undercut by churn and thinner weekends.

Harvard Gardens Rehabilitation & Care Center

Staff turnover
n/a
Serious cites

Harvard Gardens runs on 3.09 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly a fifth below the national average, and weekends dip about 8 percent below its own weekday staffing. That thin coverage sits behind a one-star staffing rating and a one-star health inspection rating, with 73 deficiencies on the current record: three at harm or jeopardy level and eight tied to abuse. Six fines add up to $194,149. The five-star quality measure score looks strong on paper, but it's built in part on data the short staffing itself helps generate. Ownership is a for-profit partnership, and the most recent inspection was March 3, 2026. The quality number and the staffing number don't tell the same story.
