Canterbury Of Twinsburg runs 50 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the nurse staffing number is the first thing that stands out: 5.10 hours per resident day, roughly a third higher than the national average. That staffing is not perfectly even, though, weekends dip about 11% below weekdays. The 50% annual turnover is above the 45.8% national figure, so the hours are there but the faces change. The health inspection side is more mixed. Twenty-eight deficiencies sit on the current record, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse. The most recent inspection was November 14, 2024. Quality measures score well, but the inspection history is what a family should ask about directly.
The Village at St Edward runs on 4.03 nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the national figure, though weekends dip about 6% below its own weekday staffing. Staff turnover sits at 27.5%, well under the national 45.8%, which matters for whether you see the same faces month to month. Inspectors were last in on March 2, 2026, and the record shows 18 deficiencies with none at the harm level and no abuse citations, which is the distinction worth holding onto: paperwork problems, not resident safety problems.
Regency Care Of Copley runs 70 certified beds in Akron under for-profit LLC ownership, and the direct-care hours come in at 3.94 per resident day, a bit above the national average of 3.86, but weekends run roughly 15% thinner than weekdays, so coverage isn't steady across the week. The inspection record is where you want to look closely: 27 deficiencies on file, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse. The most recent inspection was December 2025, and the staffing star sits at 3 out of 5, while quality measures rate 5. Ask about weekend coverage and what changed after that harm-level finding, and ask what the abuse-related citations involved.
Pleasant View runs about 3.08 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly a fifth below the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip another 9% below its own weekday coverage, so the leanest shifts are the ones when families tend to visit. Turnover sits at 33.7%, which is actually better than the 45.8% national figure, meaning the staff who are there tend to stay. Inspections look solid on paper: 4 of 5 stars, ten deficiencies logged with none at harm level, though one is abuse-related and the last full inspection was in mid-2023. Corporate-owned, 121 beds. Worth asking how they fill weekend gaps.
Regina Health Center runs 4.38 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 14% above the national average, and its weekend staffing dips only about 7% below its own weekday level, a smaller drop than many homes show. Turnover sits at 47.5%, a touch above the 45.8% national figure, so the staffing picture isn't perfectly stable even with the extra hours on the floor. Inspectors were last in on May 22, 2024, and found 13 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, though two were abuse-related. This is a nonprofit with 99 certified beds, and the inspection history reads better than the typical Ohio home.
Crown Center At Laurel Lake runs 4.27 total nurse hours per resident day, roughly 11% above the national average, though weekends drop about 9% below its own weekday staffing. That helps explain the middle-of-the-road marks from CMS on staffing and health inspections, and the 17 deficiencies on the current record, one at the harm level, five tied to abuse, are worth reading closely rather than skimming. The $131,378 in fines across 23 penalties adds up. Last full inspection was August 2023, so the picture is based on data that's a little over a year old. Nonprofit ownership doesn't erase any of that.
Heritage of Hudson runs lean on nursing hours, 3.23 per resident day, roughly 16% under the national average, and weekend coverage slips about 7% below what the home staffs on weekdays. That thin margin is what pulls its staffing rating down to 2 out of 5, even though turnover at 39.4% is actually better than the 45.8% national figure, meaning people tend to stay. The inspection record is cleaner: 8 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, no abuse findings, and a survey as recent as May 2025. For 80 beds under corporate ownership, the care side looks steady, it's the daily staffing cushion that's tight.
Phoenix Of Fairlawn sits in Akron with 80 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership. The staffing number looks decent on paper, 4.13 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 7% above the national average, but weekends drop about 8% below the home's own weekday level, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Annual turnover hits 50%, higher than the 45.8% national figure, which means many of the aides and nurses working with your relative are still learning the building. Inspectors were last in on April 28, 2025, and the record carries 31 deficiencies, including one abuse-related citation and one at the harm level. Two fines totaling $4,922 round out the history.
Brentwood Health Care Center is a 99-bed for-profit in Sagamore Hills, and the numbers tell two different stories. Its inspections and quality measures both rate well above average, with the most recent survey done in July 2025. But nurse staffing sits at 3.32 hours per resident day, roughly 14% under the national average, and drops about 16% further on weekends, which matters when families visit and needs don't pause for the calendar.
The record also carries 34 deficiencies, including six tied to abuse and one at the level of actual harm. Staff turnover runs 50%, above the national 45.8%. Good survey results are worth something, but thin weekend coverage and that deficiency history are what you'd want to ask about directly.
St Luke Lutheran Community-Portage Lakes is a 56-bed nonprofit in Akron, and the numbers tell a split story. Nurse staffing sits at 3.15 hours per resident day, roughly 18% under the national average, and the weekend gap makes it thinner when families visit most. An 81% annual turnover rate, nearly double the national figure, means the people caring for your relative are likely new and still learning the building. Inspections look better: the last one was in November 2024, and the record shows 24 deficiencies, three tied to abuse and one serious enough to cause harm. High quality-measure scores and a 4-star inspection rating don't cancel out a 1-star staffing picture. Ask directly how they hold shifts together on weekends.
Wayside Farm runs on 3.04 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a fifth below the national average, and weekends dip about 11% below its own weekdays. That thin coverage shows up in the inspection record: 19 deficiencies, two at harm or jeopardy level, one tied to abuse, and $165,448 in fines across two penalties. Staff turnover, at 45.3%, is essentially the national rate, so retention isn't the outlier here, daily staffing is. The 4/5 quality measure score reflects resident care measures, but those can look fine while hands-on time lags. The last inspection was August 2024. If you're considering this one, ask directly how many nurses are on the floor on a Saturday.
Highland Square is a for-profit corporation home with 91 beds, and the numbers that stand out most are the ones CMS rates lowest. Nurse staffing sits at 3.14 hours per resident day, roughly 19% under the national average, and weekends run about 9% leaner than weekdays, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Annual turnover is 61.3%, well above the 45.8% national figure, meaning the people caring for residents are often new to the building. The inspection record shows 57 deficiencies, five at harm or jeopardy level and eight tied to abuse, with $299,782 in fines across five penalties. Its quality measure rating is high, but that's self-reported data, and the last inspection was February 2025.
Momentous Health At Richfield has 72 certified beds and an individual for-profit owner, and the numbers here are hard to get past. Nurse staffing sits at 3.23 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, roughly 16% below what residents elsewhere typically receive, while annual turnover hits 64% compared with 45.8% nationally, meaning most of the people providing daily care are new to the building within a year. The deficiency record is the bigger problem: 103 total, including 3 at the harm or jeopardy level and 8 abuse-related. CMS has fined this home $158,534 and placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, which is reserved for the homes with the most persistent problems.
