Staff turnover
58%
Serious cites
0

Hampton Woods runs 4.54 nurse hours per resident day, about 18% above the national average, but weekends dip roughly 12% below its own weekday level, so the coverage isn't as steady as the headline number suggests. Staff turnover sits at 57.6% against a national average of 45.8%, which means a lot of the people providing that care are new to the building. The current record shows 23 deficiencies, including 2 at the harm or jeopardy level and 3 abuse-related, and the last inspection was in March 2026. What you have is a family-owned for-profit home where the daily staffing hours look strong on paper, but the combination of high turnover and a deficiency record with harm-level and abuse-related findings is the part worth asking about directly.

Logan Acres is county-owned, and the county runs 110 certified beds in Bellefontaine. The health inspection side looks solid, four stars, but that record includes 16 deficiencies, one of them serious enough to involve actual harm, and three tied to abuse. Staffing is where it really slips: a single star against a national average that's already thin. Quality measures earn top marks, but those often reflect documentation more than daily care, and the most recent inspection was back in January 2023. If you're weighing this one, ask specifically about direct-care hours per resident and what changed after that harm-level finding.

Caprice Health Care Center runs on 4.52 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 17% above the national average, and its staff tends to stay, turnover is 33.3% against a national average near 46%. The tradeoff is weekends, when coverage drops about 19% below what the home staffs on weekdays. Inspections look strong: a 5/5 health inspection rating, five total deficiencies, none at the harm level, one abuse-related, and the most recent visit was March 2026. Quality measures sit at 3/5, which is where the score gives back some ground. Corporate-owned and Medicare-certified for 75 beds, this is a home with real staffing depth and a clean recent inspection record, held back mainly by average clinical quality measures.

Carriage Inn of Steubenville runs 120 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.59 nurse hours per resident day, about 7% under the national average of 3.86, with weekends running roughly 8% thinner than weekdays. Turnover is 37.9%, which is actually better than the 45.8% national figure, though the current inspection record carries 27 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse. The most recent inspection was April 6, 2026. Quality measures score well, but the staffing and inspection numbers are where a family should focus their questions.

Wood Haven is county-owned, which usually means steadier oversight than a for-profit chain, and its quality measures come in strong at 5 out of 5 stars. The staffing picture is more mixed: 3.71 nurse hours per resident day sits about 4% under the national average, and weekend coverage drops roughly 13% below what the home staffs on weekdays. Turnover runs 48.8%, a few points above the national rate. Inspections show 29 deficiencies on record, none at the harm level, though three are abuse-related, and the most recent inspection was in April 2026. Nothing here reads as dangerous, but the thin weekend staffing and abuse citations are worth asking about directly.

Village Green runs 4.22 nurse hours per resident per day, about 9% above the national average, and its inspection and quality-measure ratings both come back clean. Seven deficiencies sit on the record, none of them causing harm or involving abuse, which is a quiet sheet for a 51-bed home. The catch is who's actually there to deliver those hours: staff turnover is 52.8% against a national 45.8%, and weekends run roughly 11% lighter than weekdays, so the coverage that looks strong on paper may thin out precisely when families visit. For-profit corporate ownership, last inspected in December 2023.

Overbrook Center runs 99 certified beds in Middleport under for-profit LLC ownership, and its record splits sharply depending on which federal measure you look at. The quality measure score sits at the top of the scale, but staffing lands at the bottom, a 1 out of 5, while annual turnover hits 51%, above the national average of 45.8%. That gap matters: good clinical outcomes on paper are harder to sustain when the workforce keeps churning. The inspection history shows 36 deficiencies on the current record, none at the harm or jeopardy level, though three are abuse-related. The last inspection was May 2026, so the picture is recent. Ask about direct-care staffing levels and how the home keeps experienced aides on the floor.

Ohman Family Living At Briar runs 4.49 nurse hours per resident day, about 16 percent more than the national average, and weekend staffing only dips around 6 percent below its own weekday level. That's a real cushion. The tension is in the numbers around it: staff turnover sits at 54.6 percent against a national average of 45.8 percent, and the federal staffing star comes out to 2 out of 5 despite the raw hours. Eighteen deficiencies appear on the current record, none of them at the harm level, though two are abuse-related. The last inspection was March 5, 2026, and quality measures score 5 out of 5 under corporate ownership.

Ohman Family Living At Holly sits in Newbury, and the inspection record is genuinely strong, five stars, four deficiencies total, none tied to abuse, and the most recent survey closed in December 2025. The staffing side tells a different story. At 3.66 nurse hours per resident day, it runs about 5% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 11% below its own weekday coverage. Annual turnover of 60.3% is well above the 45.8% national figure, which matters because consistent caregivers know residents' routines. A for-profit corporation owns the 92 certified beds. Good surveys paired with thin, churning staff is the tension here, worth asking how weekends are covered before you decide.

Elizabeth Scott Community runs a leaner ship than most on direct care: 4.34 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 12 percent above the national average. Inspections look solid too, a four-star health rating, with the most recent visit in September 2024 and no deficiencies at the harm or jeopardy level. The catch is retention. Staff turnover sits at 56.4 percent against a national 45.8, and weekend coverage drops about 14 percent below its own weekday level, so the people at the bedside change often and thin out on Saturdays and Sundays. Nine deficiencies sit on the current record, one tied to abuse. For-profit corporate ownership rounds out the picture.

Lutheran Village at Wolfcreek runs 3.45 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 12% below its own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts land when families visit and when problems tend to surface. Staff turnover sits at 49.1%, meaning roughly half the nursing team turns over in a year. The quality measure score is perfect, but that's largely self-reported data, while the inspection history shows 29 deficiencies with none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related. The last inspection came in September 2025, so the record is current. Corporate-owned, 67 beds: decent care documentation, thinner staffing than average.

Briarfield At Ashley Circle runs 74 certified beds in Youngstown under corporate, for-profit ownership. Nurse staffing sits at 3.70 hours per resident day, a bit under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 18% below what the home staffs on weekdays, worth asking about if your family member needs care on Saturdays and Sundays. Turnover is 32.1%, which is meaningfully better than the national 45.8%. The inspection record shows 10 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with a recent survey in September 2025 and a 4-star inspection rating. Quality measures score lower at 2 stars, so ask what specifically drives that gap.

Windsor Medical Center is a small for-profit home in North Canton, just 20 certified beds, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.41 hours per resident day, roughly 14% above the national average. That's a real strength, though weekends run about 17% thinner than weekdays, so ask how coverage holds up on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover is 54.5%, higher than the 45.8% national figure, which matters in a building this size where residents see the same few faces daily. The inspection record is clean where it counts: eight deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, no abuse findings, and two fines totaling $6,512. Its last inspection was May 2025.

Atrium Nursing and Rehabilitation runs 99 beds in Xenia under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers pull in opposite directions. Nurse staffing sits at 4.11 hours per resident day, about 6% above the national average, which helps explain its 4/5 staffing rating, but that cushion thins on weekends, when coverage drops roughly 9% below the home's own weekday level. Meanwhile, annual turnover hits 63% against a national average near 46%, meaning the people delivering that care keep leaving. Then there's the inspection record: 54 deficiencies, including four at the harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse, plus four fines totaling $193,839. The most recent inspection was December 11, 2025. High quality-measure scores and steady staffing don't offset that history, ask about turnover and the abuse findings before deciding.

Merit House in Toledo runs 99 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the inspection record is the part that stands out. Forty-two deficiencies on the current record, including two abuse-related citations, with a one-star health inspection rating. The last inspection was in September 2024, so the findings are recent, not stale. Staffing is the puzzle. Total nurse hours sit about 8% above the national average, yet the staffing star rating is one out of five, and turnover is 60.2% against a national 45.8%. Weekend coverage drops roughly 10% below weekday levels. High turnover and thin weekends can undercut raw hours on paper. The five-star quality measure rating reflects resident outcome data, which is a different measure entirely.

Bristol Village runs a tight ship on inspections, a five-star health inspection rating and only six deficiencies on record, none of them serious enough to cause harm. But the staffing numbers tell a different story. At 3.62 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 6% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 11% below what the home itself manages during the week. Annual turnover hits 50%, higher than the 45.8% national figure. So you're looking at a place that gets the big things right and runs leaner than average on the people doing the daily work, with a quarter of the staff leaving each year. Worth asking about weekend coverage specifically when you visit.

Briarfield Manor runs 92 beds under corporate ownership in Youngstown, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.72 hours per resident day, about 4% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip roughly 9% below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. The inspection record is the bigger concern: 36 deficiencies on file, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, with the most recent inspection in March 2025. Staff turnover of 46.6% edges just past the national rate of 45.8%. A 2 out of 5 on health inspections against 3s for quality measures and staffing tells you where the problems concentrate.

Aristos runs about 3.27 nursing hours per resident per day, roughly 15% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop another 7% below the home's own weekday coverage. Annual turnover sits at 54.3%, nearly nine points above the national figure, with 41 deficiencies on record, one abuse-related, none at harm level, and a 2/5 inspection rating, though the most recent survey was in late September 2025. The quality measure star of 4/5 suggests the clinical data looks better than the staffing and inspection picture. For-profit corporate ownership means decisions about wages and coverage get made elsewhere, which is worth asking about directly.

Bel Air Care Center runs on better-than-average nurse coverage, 4.01 hours per resident day against a national figure near 3.86, but weekends dip about 10% below what the home staffs on weekdays, so a Saturday shift isn't the same as a Tuesday one. The bigger question mark is retention: 52.5% annual turnover sits above the 45.8% national average, meaning roughly half the nursing staff leaves each year, and that churn is hard on residents who rely on familiar faces. Inspections look solid, with a 4-star health rating, 14 deficiencies on record and none involving harm or abuse, and the most recent survey came in March 2025. It's an individually owned for-profit with 45 beds, so ask how they hold staffing steady when someone calls off.

Amherst Meadows runs on thin margins that the headline numbers don't quite capture. The 4.03 nurse hours per resident day looks solid next to the national 3.86, but weekends drop about 9% below the home's own weekday staffing, and turnover sits at 54.7% against a 45.8% national average, a rate that tends to mean unfamiliar faces on the floor. Ownership is for-profit corporate, which is worth knowing when you read the staffing star rating of 2/5. The counterweight is genuine: a 5/5 inspection rating with only seven deficiencies on record, none at harm level, none abuse-related, and the last survey came in April 2025. If you tour, ask how weekend coverage is actually filled.
