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.

Friends Extended Care Center runs about 4.57 nurse hours per resident each day, roughly 18% above the national average of 3.86, and its staff turnover of 32.8% sits well below the national 45.8%. Weekends thin out some, about 13% below its own weekday coverage, so ask how that plays out on Saturdays and Sundays. The inspection record shows seven deficiencies, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, with the most recent visit in February 2026. As a nonprofit with 59 beds, it's small enough to know its residents, and the staffing and inspection numbers back that up.

Norwalk Memorial Home runs on a nonprofit model with 69 certified beds, and its staffing sits at 3.72 hours per resident day, roughly 4% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 5% below the home's own weekday coverage, so families should ask how that gap gets filled on Saturdays and Sundays. Turnover is 40.8%, better than the 45.8% national figure, which suggests less churn than many peers. The inspection record shows 23 deficiencies with none at the harm or jeopardy level, though four are abuse-related, worth asking about directly. Last inspection was August 2024, so the record is fairly current.

Morrow Manor runs 46 beds in Chesterville under corporate ownership, and the raw staffing number looks better than it is: 4.36 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 13% above the national average. But that average hides a staffing star rating of just 1 out of 5, which tells you the hours aren't distributed where CMS wants them, and weekends run about 10% thinner than weekdays. Staff turnover sits at 55.9% against a national 45.8%, so more than half the nursing staff leaves each year. Inspections in August 2025 turned up 21 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related. The quality measure score is strong and the inspection record is mid-range.

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.

Gables Care Center runs 86 certified beds in Hopedale under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing picture is roughly average on paper, 3.85 nurse hours per resident day against a national 3.86. The catch is weekends, which run about 10% thinner than weekdays. Turnover sits at 28%, well under the 45.8% national figure, so the people showing up are largely sticking around. What pulls the record down is the inspection side: 29 deficiencies on file and a 2/5 health inspection rating, though none reached harm or jeopardy and none involved abuse. The most recent inspection was April 2026, so the findings are current rather than stale. Quality and staffing measures both rate 4/5.

The Meadows At Osborn Park is county-owned, and that shows in the numbers: a 36.4% annual staff turnover rate, well under the national average of 45.8%, suggests people tend to stay. Nurse staffing sits at 3.76 hours per resident day, about 3% under the national average, and weekends run roughly 13% lighter than weekdays, worth asking about if your relative needs more help on Saturdays and Sundays. Fourteen deficiencies are on the current record, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, though none tied to abuse. The last full inspection was March 2023.

Brewster Convalescent Center is a 60-bed for-profit home in Stark County, and its staffing numbers tell the clearest story here. At 3.47 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 10% under the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage drops roughly 13% below its own weekday level, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. Turnover is the bright spot: 29.2% against a national 45.8% means aides and nurses are staying put, which matters for residents who need consistent hands. Against that, 30 deficiencies on record, three serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, plus a $62,113 fine, point to real compliance problems. Last inspected December 2024.

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.

Alois Alzheimer's Care Center runs 93 certified beds in Cincinnati under corporate for-profit ownership, and the numbers tell a fairly steady story. Nurse staffing sits at 3.86 hours per resident day, right at the national average, not above it, though weekends dip about 9% below the home's own weekday coverage, a gap worth asking about if your family visits mainly on Saturdays or Sundays. Staff turnover is 36.1%, noticeably better than the 45.8% national figure, which suggests less churn among the people doing daily care. Eleven deficiencies are on record, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, and the last inspection was recent, in September 2025.

Anna Maria Of Aurora runs on 4.32 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 12% above the national average, and its staff turnover of 25.9% sits well under the 45.8% national figure, that stability matters more than a snapshot of raw hours. Weekend coverage dips about 12% below its own weekday levels, so families should ask how that gap gets managed. The current record carries 14 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, which is the number to press administrators on. The last inspection was December 22, 2025, and its quality measures score well while inspections land mid-range.

The Health Center at the Renaissance is run by a nonprofit corporation and holds 85 certified beds in Olmsted Township. Its nurse staffing sits at 4.30 hours per resident day, about 11% above the national average, and it earns 4 out of 5 stars on all three CMS measures: health inspections, quality, and staffing. Weekend coverage dips roughly 9% below weekday levels, though. The record shows 9 deficiencies, one at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, with the most recent inspection dated October 6, 2025. Annual turnover runs 51.4%, higher than the 45.8% national figure, which means aides and nurses cycle through faster than average even with the strong staffing numbers.

Westover Retirement Community runs a nonprofit home in Hamilton with 53 certified beds, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.40 hours per resident day, roughly 14% above the national average of 3.86. That extra coverage shows up on the federal staffing star rating, which sits at 4 out of 5, though weekend hours drop about 9% below what the home staffs on weekdays. The inspection record is the strongest part: a 5-star health inspection rating, last survey dated February 2026, and 9 deficiencies on file with none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related. The caution is turnover, 50.8% against a national 45.8%.

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.

Enniscourt Nursing Care runs about 4.18 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 8% above the national average, and that staffing shows up in its four-out-of-five staffing rating. Weekends are thinner, though, about 15% below its own weekday coverage, and turnover sits at 52.9%, higher than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for how well you know the people on the floor. The inspection record is the harder read: 22 deficiencies, one at harm or jeopardy level, four tied to abuse, and a two-out-of-five health inspection rating, with the last survey dating to September 2023. The quality measure score looks better, but the survey history is what a family should ask about directly.

Fairlawn Haven sits in Archbold as a church-affiliated nonprofit with 99 certified beds, and its last inspection was recent, April 2025, so the record is current. Nurse staffing runs 4.04 hours per resident day, about 5% above the national average, though weekends dip roughly 6% below its own weekday level, which matters if your family visits or calls on Saturdays and Sundays. The inspection history shows 23 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, but 3 are abuse-related, and CMS gives the staffing star a 2 out of 5. Quality measures score high. That split between strong clinical outcomes and thinner staffing support is worth asking the administrator about directly before you decide.

Lima Convalescent Home runs 3.90 nurse hours per resident day, just a hair above the national average of 3.86. That margin is thin, and weekends tell a different story, staffing drops about 22% below the home's own weekday level, so coverage isn't evenly spread across the week. Turnover sits at 36.4%, better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for consistency of care. The current record shows 21 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with a 3/5 inspection rating. Quality measures score a full 5/5, and the last inspection was April 2025, so the picture is recent. A nonprofit with solid clinical marks and a staffing edge that's real but narrow.

North Park Care Center is small, 34 beds, and for-profit, run by a limited liability company. Nurse staffing runs about 4.25 hours per resident day, roughly 10% above the national average, and turnover sits at 33.3% against a national 45.8%, so the people caring for residents tend to stick around longer than is typical. Weekend staffing, though, drops about 21% below weekday levels, which matters if your visits or concerns land on a Saturday. Inspections came back clean in the harm category: six deficiencies on record, none involving harm or abuse, with the most recent visit in March 2025. Quality measures score lower than the other categories, which is worth asking about directly.

Shepherd of the Valley Liberty runs on decent nurse coverage, 4.34 hours per resident day, roughly 12% above the national average, and that shows up in a four-star staffing rating. The catch is weekends, when hours drop about 13% below the home's own weekday level, and a 50.6% annual turnover rate that sits above the national figure. On inspections, the record shows 18 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse; the last survey was September 2025.

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.
