Staff turnover

Ashtabula County Nursing Home runs 133 certified beds as a nonprofit, and its nurse staffing sits right at the national average, 3.88 hours per resident day against 3.86 nationally. Weekend coverage dips about 7% below its own weekday level, though turnover at 34.5% is notably better than the 45.8% national figure. What holds it back is the inspection record: 20 deficiencies currently on file, four of them at the harm or jeopardy level, plus one abuse-related citation. The health inspection rating still comes in at 4 out of 5, but that last survey was August 2023, so the picture may have shifted since.

Crestmont North runs 71 certified beds in Lakewood under individual for-profit ownership, and the staffing numbers are the main thing to know. At 3.28 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 15% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 13% below its own weekday level, so coverage thins out right when families tend to visit. Turnover is 42.3%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure, which suggests some stability in who's actually on the floor. The health inspection record shows 35 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in May 2025. Strong quality measures and a middling inspection history sit alongside that thin staffing.

Fulton Manor runs on more nursing hours than most homes, 4.10 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and that shows up in its top staffing rating. But weekends run about 14% thinner than weekdays, so the coverage your family sees on a Tuesday isn't what shows up on a Sunday. Turnover sits at 47.1%, slightly worse than the national 45.8%. The inspection record is recent, April 2026, with 19 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, though two are abuse-related. Quality measures score 2 out of 5, which is where the weakness lives. Nonprofit ownership, solid inspections, real staffing, but ask about weekends and those two abuse citations.

Welsh Home The is a nonprofit in Rocky River with 79 certified beds, and its inspection record is genuinely strong, a perfect health inspection rating, a perfect quality measure rating, and eight total deficiencies with none rising to harm or jeopardy. Staffing runs 4.19 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 8% above the national average, though weekends dip about 8% below its own weekday levels. The two numbers worth sitting with are turnover at 58.3% against a national 45.8%, and two abuse-related deficiencies on the current record. Turnover that high means the people caring for your family member keep changing. The last full inspection was January 2024, so the picture is reasonably current.

Sanctuary Wadsworth runs a tight ship on inspections, a five-star health inspection rating with just five deficiencies on record, none at the harm level and none tied to abuse. The last full look from the state came in October 2023. Where it gives ground is staffing: 3.79 nurse hours per resident day sits just under the national average, and weekends run about 11% thinner than weekdays, which is when you'd want to check whether call lights get answered as quickly. Turnover at 42.4% is slightly better than the typical home. Corporate-owned and 79 beds, this is a place that passes its tests but asks families to pay attention on Saturdays.

Delaware Court runs 3.64 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 6% under the national average, and weekends dip about 11% below its own weekday staffing. That's a real gap, though staff turnover of 31.1% is well below the 45.8% national figure, people tend to stay here longer than at the typical home. The record shows 33 deficiencies, including 2 abuse-related, with no harm or jeopardy citations, and the most recent inspection was February 2026. Corporate-owned and Medicare-certified for 75 beds, it earns solid marks on staffing and quality measures but a weaker inspection rating, so the picture is mixed rather than alarming.

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.

Park Village runs a for-profit, individually owned home with 90 certified beds in Dover. Nurse staffing sits at 4.19 hours per resident day, about 9% above the national average, and the staff retention is genuinely strong, 33.7% turnover against a national 45.8% means workers tend to stick around here. The tradeoff shows up in the inspection record: 16 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level, and a single fine of $77,552. Weekend staffing dips roughly 12% below weekday levels, so coverage gets thinner when families are most likely to visit. The most recent inspection was April 22, 2026, so the record is current. Strong staffing and retention, but that harm-level finding and the fine are worth asking about directly.

The Pavilion at Edgefield is a for-profit, 99-bed home in Canton, and the numbers tell two different stories. Nurse staffing sits at 3.26 hours per resident day, about 15% under the national average, and weekend coverage drops roughly 12% below its own weekday level, so care thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Staff turnover of 35.1% is better than the national 45.8%, which suggests some stability in the workforce. What pulls the record down is the inspection side: a 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating, 39 deficiencies on the current record, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related. The most recent inspection was November 2025.

Rest Haven runs on a small scale, 23 beds in Scioto County, corporate-owned, and the numbers tell a mixed story. The good news is real: five stars on both health inspections and quality measures, four deficiencies on the current record with none causing harm and none abuse-related, and a clean inspection as recently as June 2024. But look at staffing, where the home earns only two stars despite reporting 5.32 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 38% above the national average. That gap between hours and the staffing rating usually points to how those hours are distributed, and here weekend coverage drops about 11% below weekday levels while turnover sits at 47.8%, slightly worse than the 45.8% national figure.

Rosary Care Center runs 76 certified beds under church-related nonprofit ownership in Sylvania, and its staffing sits just over the national average at 3.92 nurse hours per resident day. That margin is thin, though, weekends drop roughly 9% below the home's own weekday coverage, so the care you'd see on a Saturday isn't quite what the weekday number suggests. Staff turnover lands at 43.1%, slightly better than the 45.8% national figure, which points to a relatively steady workforce. Inspections in January 2025 turned up 21 deficiencies, but none involved harm or abuse, and the staffing rating (4/5) outpaces both the inspection (3/5) and quality measure (2/5) scores, meaning the home's hands-on coverage looks stronger than its clinical outcomes record.

Berkeley Square runs on more nursing hours than most homes, 4.53 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and that shows up in its staffing rating. The catch is consistency: weekends drop roughly 19% below weekday coverage, so the care your family member gets on a Tuesday may not match a Sunday. Staff turnover sits at 55.1%, well above the 45.8% national figure, which means new faces are common even with strong overall hours. Eight deficiencies on record, none involving harm or abuse, and a recent April 2026 inspection support a decent inspection rating for this 33-bed nonprofit.

Wyandot County Skilled Nursing runs on county government ownership, and its inspection record is genuinely solid, a four-star health inspection rating with 16 deficiencies on file, only one of them serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, and none tied to abuse. The staffing picture is more mixed: 3.54 nurse hours per resident day sits about 8% under the national average, weekends drop roughly 21% below the home's own weekday coverage, yet annual turnover of 27.1% is well below the 45.8% national figure, meaning the staff who are there tend to stay. That combination, stable caregivers but thinner weekend coverage, is what keeps this home in solidly good, not exceptional, territory.

Seven Acres runs 58 beds in Clifton under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.75 nurse hours per resident day, just under the national average, with weekends running roughly 17% thinner than weekdays. Turnover lands at 42.6%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure, so the same faces are more likely to stick around. The bigger issue is the inspection record: 26 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and five tied to abuse. That's a lot for a home this size, and it's the main thing pulling the grade down despite strong quality measure scores and a June 2024 inspection that's still fairly recent.

Wayne County Care Center runs on county taxpayer money, and the staffing numbers mostly hold up, 3.93 nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the national average. But that average hides a weekend problem: coverage drops roughly 17% below its own weekday level, which is when falls and infections tend to happen. The bigger concern is a 58% annual turnover rate, well above the 45.8% national figure, and 12 deficiencies on the current record including one at the harm level and three tied to abuse. Inspectors were last out in November 2024 and rated health inspections 4 out of 5.

Brethren Retirement Community in Greenville runs 80 certified beds as a nonprofit, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.37 hours per resident day, roughly 13% above the national average, which is why it earns 4 out of 5 stars on staffing. But that weekday strength thins out: weekends run about 14% below its own weekday level, and annual turnover of 51.5% tops the national figure of 45.8%. The inspection record is the harder part, 20 deficiencies, two of them serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy, two tied to abuse, and a 2/5 inspection rating from a visit in March 2025. Good daily coverage doesn't cancel out those findings.

Hillebrand runs a 108-bed for-profit home in Hamilton County, and the numbers point in two directions at once. Nurse staffing sits at 3.49 hours per resident day, roughly 10% under the national average, and weekends dip about 6% below the home's own weekday coverage, which matters most when families visit and when fewer eyes are on residents. Turnover is the bright spot: 31.1% against a national 45.8%, suggesting a steadier crew than most places. The inspection record is where it gets harder to ignore, 32 deficiencies on file, including one at the harm level and three tied to abuse, plus a $16,801 fine and a two-star health inspection rating. The most recent inspection was March 26, 2026.

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.

Lutheran Home runs 27 certified beds as a nonprofit, and its clinical quality scores are strong, a 5-out-of-5 on CMS quality measures. The staffing picture is more mixed: 3.82 nurse hours per resident day sits just under the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage dips about 1% below its own weekday level. The number that stands out is turnover, 77.2% annually against a national average of 45.8%, meaning most of the people caring for residents are relatively new. Inspections in September 2024 turned up 41 deficiencies, none at the harm level but five tied to abuse. The quality scores are real; so is the churn behind them.

Canton Christian Home runs 57 certified beds as a nonprofit, and its clinical quality scores are genuinely strong, the federal quality measure rating comes in at 5 out of 5. Where it slips is staffing: 3.71 nurse hours per resident day sits about 4% under the national average, weekends drop roughly 13% below its own weekday levels, and annual turnover hits 54.7% against a national 45.8%. The inspection record shows 25 deficiencies, including two at the harm level and two tied to abuse, with one fine totaling $9,113; the last inspection was December 11, 2025. The 3-out-of-5 inspection rating and 2-out-of-5 staffing rating are what pull an otherwise strong clinical picture down to a B.
