Mcv Health Care Facilities runs on church-affiliated nonprofit ownership, and the numbers reflect that stability. Nurse staffing sits at 5.60 hours per resident day, roughly 45% above the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage dips only about 12% below weekday levels, a gap that's smaller than what many homes show. Staff turnover is 29.3%, well under the national 45.8%, which matters because consistent caregivers know residents' routines. The inspection record shows 8 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the last visit in November 2023. All three CMS star ratings, health inspection, quality measures, and staffing, come in at 5 out of 5.

Wooster Community Hospital's skilled nursing unit runs on 7.08 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 83% above the national average of 3.86, and its staff turnover sits at 28.6% against a national 45.8%, meaning the people caring for residents tend to stay. Weekend coverage dips about 9% below weekday levels, a gap worth asking about if your family visits mainly on Saturdays. The inspection record is clean where it counts: three deficiencies total, none at the harm level, none abuse-related, with the most recent survey in January 2024. City-owned and small at 22 beds, it pairs that staffing with 5/5 ratings across health inspections, quality measures, and staffing.

Mohun Health Care Center runs on unusually deep nurse coverage: 5.48 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends dip only about 8% below its own weekday level, so care doesn't thin out much when families visit. Staff turnover sits at 21.4% versus 45.8% nationally, meaning aides and nurses here tend to stay. Its 12 deficiencies include none at the harm level and none abuse-related, and the most recent inspection was in March 2026. As a nonprofit with 72 beds, it isn't chasing volume, the numbers point to a home that invests in the people doing the daily work.

Wesley Glen runs on 6.28 nurse hours per resident day, about 63% above the national average of 3.86, and its weekend staffing only dips about 12% below weekday levels. Turnover sits at 42.3%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure, and the nonprofit has a clean inspection record on harm: 12 deficiencies total, none at the harm or jeopardy level, though 2 are abuse-related. CMS gives it 5 stars across health inspections, quality measures, and staffing, and its last inspection was in April 2026. The numbers say a well-staffed home with recent oversight and no serious harm findings, with those two abuse citations the main thing worth asking about directly.

Willow Ridge is a 20-bed nonprofit home in Bluffton, and its staffing is the headline: 5.30 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 37% above the national average. Weekend coverage dips only about 5% below weekdays, which matters because short-staffed weekends are where a lot of problems show up. Staff turnover sits at 32.3%, well under the 45.8% national figure, so the people caring for residents tend to stick around. The current record isn't spotless, 23 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, though the most recent inspection was July 2024 and inspection and quality ratings both land at 4 out of 5. Small homes live and die by their staff, and this one has kept more of theirs than most.

The Robert A. Barnes Center runs 25 beds under church-related nonprofit ownership, and the staffing numbers stand out: 7.04 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 82% above the national average. Weekend coverage dips about 8% below its own weekday level, and turnover sits at 38.5%, better than the 45.8% national figure, though still meaning more than a third of staff leaving each year. The inspection record shows 21 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, but two tied to abuse, which families should ask about directly. A June 2025 inspection keeps the record current, and the four- and five-star ratings across health inspections, quality measures, and staffing back up what the numbers suggest.

Riverside Manor runs a leaner ship than most on staffing: 4.55 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 18 percent above the national average, with weekend coverage dipping about 12 percent below its own weekday levels. Turnover sits at 21.8 percent, well under the national 45.8 percent, a sign of a stable crew, which matters for daily consistency. The tradeoff shows up in inspections: a 2-out-of-5 health inspection rating, 27 deficiencies on record including one at harm level and four abuse-related, last surveyed January 30, 2025. Quality measures score 5 out of 5, so the clinical numbers look strong even where the inspection history doesn't.

Apostolic Christian Home in Rittman, Ohio is a 75-bed nonprofit run by a church, and it holds a four-star health inspection rating from CMS. Staffing is its main strength: 4.45 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 15% above the national average, and turnover at 31.2% is well below the national 45.8%, meaning the people caring for your relative tend to stay. That consistency matters more than most families realize. The tradeoffs: weekend staffing drops about 13% from weekday levels, and the current record includes seven deficiencies, one at the harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related. A February 2025 inspection is recent, so the record reflects the home as it operates now.

Heritage Manor runs on 4.86 nurse hours per resident day, about a quarter more staffing than the typical American nursing home, and its weekend coverage dips only modestly below weekdays. Staff turnover sits at 30.9% against a national average near 46%, which matters because consistent caregivers tend to know residents and catch changes early. The home carries seven deficiencies on its current record with none at the harm level and none tied to abuse, and its last inspection was in March 2026. This is a nonprofit operation, so there's no ownership chain pushing toward margin. What stands out across the numbers is steadiness: strong inspection history, solid quality measures, and staffing that holds up.

Nurse staffing at Courtyard At Seasons runs about 4.19 hours per resident day, roughly 8% above the national average, and the weekend dip is fairly modest at around 8% below weekday levels. Staff turnover sits at 27.7%, well under the national 45.8%, which matters for consistency of care. On the inspection side, the home carries 23 deficiencies, but none at the harm or jeopardy level, and one abuse-related finding. The most recent inspection was September 2025, so the record is current. A 45-bed for-profit LLC with that staffing margin and low turnover is doing better than most on the things families notice day to day.

Birchaven runs on a nonprofit model in Findlay, and the staffing numbers are its clearest strength, 5.53 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips only slightly below weekdays, so care doesn't thin out much when families tend to visit. Turnover sits at 42.9%, a touch better than the national 45.8%. What holds it back from a cleaner record is the inspection side: 28 deficiencies on file, none serious enough to cause harm, but six tied to abuse. That mix, strong daily staffing and quality marks, a longer-than-ideal deficiency history, is the tradeoff worth weighing. The last state visit was in January 2025.

Twin Towers runs on 5.06 nurse hours per resident day, well above the 3.86 national average, and its weekend staffing only dips about 8% below weekdays, a smaller drop than many homes show. Staff turnover sits at 51%, a bit above the 45.8% national figure, so that's the soft spot. Inspections found 12 deficiencies, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, though none tied to abuse. The last full inspection was February 2026, so the record is current. Nonprofit ownership, strong marks on quality measures, and nurse coverage that genuinely exceeds the norm are what's carrying this one.

Good Shepherd Home runs on 4.60 nurse hours per resident day, about 19% more than the national average, and its staff turnover of 32% sits well under the 45.8% national figure, both signs of a stable, adequately covered floor. The trade-offs show up elsewhere: weekend staffing drops roughly 16% below its own weekday level, and the current record carries 30 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy, though none involve abuse. Inspectors last visited in October 2024. Quality measures score high, staffing solid, inspections middling, a home that's generally well-run with at least one lapse worth asking about directly.

Friendship Village Of Dublin runs 5.20 total nurse staffing hours per resident day, roughly a third more than the 3.86 national average, and weekends only dip about 9% below its own weekdays. That's a real cushion, and it's why staffing holds four stars. The quality measures are stronger still at five. What pulls against that picture is the inspection record: 20 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, though none tied to abuse. The most recent state visit was November 2024. So you're looking at a nonprofit home where day-to-day care capacity is clearly above par, but the survey history has some weight in it. Ask to see the plan of correction for that harm-level citation before you decide.

Maplecrest runs on more nursing hours than most homes, about 4.05 per resident per day against a national average near 3.86, and its 40% turnover sits below the national figure, so the staff you meet are more likely to still be there next year. The catch is consistency: weekends run roughly 18% thinner than weekdays. Inspectors were last in on April 14, 2025, and the record shows 17 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one tied to abuse. That combination, strong day-to-day numbers, a recent inspection with a serious finding, is what a family should weigh before deciding.

Worthington Christian Village runs 6.15 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 59% above the national average of 3.86, and that staffing level is the main thing separating it from most homes its size. Weekends dip about 12% below its own weekday coverage, and turnover sits at 50.9% against a national 45.8%, so the floor isn't perfectly steady even with the strong numbers. The current record shows 17 deficiencies, one of them serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, though none involve abuse. Its last inspection was in January 2026, and the quality and staffing ratings both come in at the top of CMS's scale.

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.

Twin Lakes runs on 5.74 nurse hours per resident day, roughly half again the national average of 3.86, and it carries a five-star staffing rating and a five-star inspection record to match. Three deficiencies sit on the current record, none of them at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the last inspection dated June 2024. Weekend staffing dips about 13% below its own weekday level, so ask how weekends actually look on the floor, and turnover of 40.7% is lower than the national 45.8% but still means a good share of the staff you meet will be new within a year. Nonprofit ownership, 43 beds, and a quality measure rating of 3 out of 5 round out the picture.
