Rae-Ann Westlake sits in Cuyahoga County with 130 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and the picture is mixed in a way that matters. Nurse staffing runs 3.42 hours per resident day, roughly 11% under the national average, and weekends dip another 11% below the home's own weekday levels, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Turnover at 42.6% is slightly better than the 45.8% national figure, which helps continuity but doesn't fix the raw hours. Inspections look stronger: a February 2024 survey, 17 deficiencies on record including one at the harm level and none tied to abuse. Solid quality and inspection marks, softer staffing.
Jennings Hall sits at 156 beds in Garfield Heights, run by a nonprofit corporation. Nurse staffing runs 3.66 hours per resident day, about 5% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 11% below what the home staffs on weekdays. Annual turnover is 48.6%, a few points above the national rate, so the people caring for residents change fairly often. Inspectors last visited in September 2024 and found 17 deficiencies, none involving harm or abuse, which matters more than the raw count suggests. The federal stars land at 3 for health inspections, 3 for quality measures, and 2 for staffing, so the weaker numbers here are about coverage and consistency rather than safety violations.
Tranquility of Richmond Heights runs 60 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing picture is the weak spot: 3.79 nurse hours per resident day sits just under the national average, and weekends drop about 5% below its own weekday level. Turnover is the bigger concern, 77.3% of nursing staff leaving annually, well above the 45.8% national figure, which makes consistent care hard to sustain. Inspections back that up with 33 deficiencies on record, including one abuse-related citation, though none rose to harm or jeopardy level. The 5/5 quality measure rating stands out against a 2/5 inspection score and 1/5 staffing score, so ask how that quality number is earned.
Heritage Healthcare of Euclid runs 75 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and the staffing numbers are the first thing that stands out. At 3.38 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 12% below the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip another 12% below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Annual turnover of 53.8% runs well above the 45.8% national figure, which means caregivers are cycling through.
The inspection record adds weight: 51 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, with the most recent survey in June 2024. A 1-out-of-5 staffing rating against a 4-out-of-5 quality measure score suggests the clinical results aren't backed by enough consistent hands.
Phoenix Of Maple Heights runs on thinner staffing than most homes its size, 3.27 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends dropping about 12% below its own weekday coverage. That gap matters because nurse aides provide most of the hands-on care, and fewer of them per resident tends to show up in daily things like answering call lights and help with meals. The home's 61.9% annual turnover means a large share of its caregivers leave each year, so residents cycle through a lot of unfamiliar faces. Its last inspection was in June 2024, and 44 deficiencies sit on the current record, none at the harm level, none abuse-related, but a volume that helps explain the one-star inspection rating. Ownership is a for-profit limited liability company.
Gardens Of North Olmsted runs on thinner nursing coverage than most homes, 3.27 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends dipping further below its own weekday levels. That shortfall shows up in the federal staffing rating, which sits at the bottom of the scale.
The inspection record is the bigger concern. The current file holds 56 deficiencies, including six tied to abuse, and the last full inspection was in December 2022, more than two years ago. A for-profit partnership operating 99 beds, this home also sees 58.5% of its nursing staff leave annually, well above the 45.8% national rate. Its quality measure scores look strong, but that data comes from the home's own reporting.
Rae Ann Suburban runs 95 beds in Westlake under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing numbers are the first thing you'd notice. At 3.39 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 12% under the national average, and weekends drop another 14% below its own weekdays, so the coverage your family member gets on a Saturday looks different from a Tuesday. Annual turnover of 75% is well above the 45.8% national figure, meaning familiar faces cycle out fast. Its health inspection rating is 1 out of 5, with 37 deficiencies on record, including one at the harm level and three tied to abuse; a $10,065 fine was levied, and the last inspection was June 2025.
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.
If you're weighing Beachwood Pointe for someone you love, the staffing numbers deserve your full attention. Nurses provide about 3.08 hours of care per resident each day, roughly a fifth below the national average of 3.86, and weekends run about 7 percent thinner than weekdays. That thin coverage sits alongside a 67.8 percent annual turnover rate, well above the 45.8 percent national figure, meaning the people providing care are constantly changing. Inspectors have cited 46 deficiencies, three tied to abuse, and the last visit was July 2024. The resident outcome scores look better than the staffing picture, but the two don't cancel each other out.
Hopkins Rehabilitation and Care Center runs 90 beds in Middleburg Heights under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing works out to roughly the national average on paper. But look at the shape of it: staff turnover sits at 80.3 percent against a national norm near 46 percent, meaning most of the people caring for residents this year likely won't be there next year. That churn shows up in the inspection record too, 30 deficiencies, four serious enough to put residents in harm's way, three tied to abuse, and $76,040 in fines. The most recent inspection was December 2024. Quality measures score well, but consistent staffing and a clean safety record are what families actually live with day to day.
The Villa at Marymount runs 130 beds in Garfield Heights under for-profit LLC ownership, and its state inspection history is the part I'd weigh hardest. Twenty-six deficiencies sit on the current record, four of them serious enough to involve actual harm or jeopardy to residents, plus one tied to abuse. Two fines total $83,603. Staffing averages 4.03 nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the national figure, but weekends drop roughly 16% below the home's own weekday coverage. Annual turnover is 63.1% against a national average near 46%, meaning most of the people caring for your family member are new. The last inspection was March 2025. If you're considering this one, ask specifically how weekends and evenings are staffed.
Suburban Healthcare and Rehabilitation runs 150 beds in North Randall under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers that stand out most are on the staffing side. At 3.33 nurse hours per resident day, it sits roughly 14% under the national average, with weekends about 7% below its own weekday level. Annual turnover is 58.3% against a national 45.8%, so the people caring for residents change often.
The inspection record is heavier still: 67 deficiencies, six at harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, plus four fines totaling $94,587. The most recent inspection was March 2024. Quality measures look better than the rest of the picture, but they measure care outcomes, not whether enough consistent staff are present to deliver it.
Gardens of Mayfield Village runs 99 beds as a for-profit corporation, and the numbers that matter most here are staffing and oversight. Nurses provide 3.22 hours per resident day, roughly 17% under the national average, weekends run about 7% thinner than weekdays, and 71.2% of staff turn over in a year against a national 45.8%, so the people delivering care keep changing. The inspection record shows 106 deficiencies, five at harm or jeopardy level and six tied to abuse, with $155,225 in fines and CMS placing the home in its Special Focus Facility program. The quality measure rating is high, but that's self-reported chart data; the staffing and inspection ratings sit at the bottom.
