Staff turnover
37%
Serious cites
0

Crystal Care Center Of Mansfield runs lean on direct care: 3.31 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 14% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 17% below what the home staffs on weekdays, so coverage thins exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover sits at 36.5%, better than the 45.8% national figure, which suggests some stability in who's showing up. Inspections look solid, a 4/5 health inspection star and a 4/5 quality measure star, with the last visit in August 2024 and 13 deficiencies on record, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related. The staffing star tells the other side of the story.

Brown Memorial Home in Circleville runs a tight ship on the clinical side, 23 deficiencies on its current record, but none of them rose to actual harm or jeopardy, and nothing abuse-related. A December 2025 inspection means the findings are recent, not stale. Nurse staffing sits at 4.18 hours per resident day, roughly 8% above the national average, though weekends drop about 20% below the home's own weekday coverage, so care can thin out on Saturdays and Sundays. The bigger concern is turnover: 60% of staff leaving annually against a national average near 46%, which can wear on continuity even when raw hours look good.

Mckinley Nursing runs 176 certified beds in Canton under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing numbers are the first thing that stands out. Nurses provide 2.91 hours per resident per day against a national average of 3.86, roughly a quarter less care time, and weekends drop about 11% below what the home manages on weekdays. Annual turnover sits at 52.3%, higher than the 45.8% national figure, which means the people left are often the newest ones. The health inspection record shows 77 deficiencies, including six tied to abuse and one at the harm or jeopardy level. Quality measures score well, but that's the part of the picture families see least. Staffing is where the daily experience lives.

Kendal at Oberlin is a small skilled unit, five certified beds, run by a nonprofit corporation, and its inspection record is spotless: zero deficiencies of any kind, including none at the harm level and none tied to abuse, from an inspection on April 28, 2026. That's rare, and it's reflected in the top federal health inspection rating. Where the picture gets more ordinary is in the day-to-day measures ElderGrade weighs alongside inspections, which is what pulls the overall grade off the top mark despite that clean survey. With only five beds, this is a very small operation, so the numbers on staffing and turnover can swing hard from one reporting period to the next. Ask the administrator directly what those look like right now.

Forest Glen Rehabilitation And Healthcare Center runs 80 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its inspection record is a mixed bag. Health and quality measure ratings both sit at 4 out of 5, and the most recent inspection came in February 2026, so the picture is reasonably current, but 18 deficiencies are on file, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse. Staff turnover is the bigger concern: 61.7% annually against a national average of 45.8%, meaning roughly three in five employees left within the year. High turnover often shows up in daily care, even when survey scores look respectable. Ask specifically how the home retains direct-care aides before you decide.

Northridge Health Center runs 96 certified beds as a for-profit, individually owned home, and its staffing sits at 3.51 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 9% under the national average of 3.86, with weekend coverage dipping about 6% below its own weekday numbers. Staff turnover is the number that stands out: 65.6% annually against a national average of 45.8%, meaning most of the people caring for residents this year likely won't be there next year. The inspection record shows 37 deficiencies with nothing flagged at harm or jeopardy level and no abuse findings, and the last survey was recent, in February 2025. CMS rates its quality measures 5 out of 5 but its health inspection record just 1 out of 5.

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.

Heritage Healthcare of Euclid runs 75 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and the staffing numbers are the first thing that stands out. At 3.38 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 12% below the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip another 12% below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Annual turnover of 53.8% runs well above the 45.8% national figure, which means caregivers are cycling through. The inspection record adds weight: 51 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, with the most recent survey in June 2024. A 1-out-of-5 staffing rating against a 4-out-of-5 quality measure score suggests the clinical results aren't backed by enough consistent hands.

Roscoe Gardens runs 72 beds in Coshocton, and its staffing sits at 3.09 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a fifth below the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop about 14% below its own weekday levels, and half the staff turns over each year, a bit higher than the 45.8% national figure. Those numbers help explain a 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating. The current record carries 47 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and six tied to abuse. One fine totaling $60,645 is on file, and the last inspection was December 30, 2025. The 5-out-of-5 quality measure score looks strong, but it sits alongside a 2-out-of-5 staffing rating, the day-to-day coverage is where the trouble shows.

Mason Health Care Center runs 43 certified beds under for-profit partnership ownership, and its overall nurse staffing sits slightly above the national average, about 3.95 hours per resident day. That headline number looks fine until you notice the weekends, when coverage drops roughly 14% below the home's own weekday level, and a 62% annual turnover rate that runs well ahead of the 45.8% national figure. The inspection record shows 16 deficiencies with none at the harm or jeopardy level and nothing abuse-related, though the last full inspection was in June 2023. CMS rates staffing at 2 out of 5 stars, with inspection and quality measures each at 3.

Eliza At Chagrin Falls runs a small house, 29 certified beds, and it's staffed better than most, at 4.48 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86. Weekends thin out about 14% from weekday levels, so ask how coverage holds on Saturdays. The bigger issue is turnover: 75% of staff leave annually, well above the 45.8% national figure, and that churn shows up in the 2-out-of-5 quality measure rating. Fourteen deficiencies sit on the current record, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related. The last inspection was January 22, 2026, so the record is recent. Nonprofit ownership.

Mt Airy Gardens runs 99 certified beds as a for-profit corporation, and its staffing numbers tell the clearest story here: 3.60 nurse hours per resident day sits about 7% under the national average, weekends dip another 7% below its own weekdays, and annual turnover hits 60% against a national 45.8%. That churn makes it hard to keep consistent caregivers at the bedside. The current inspection record carries 68 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, plus a $10,039 fine, though the most recent inspection was February 2025, so the picture is current. Quality measures score well, but staffing and inspection results are where the concerns concentrate.

Loveland Care Center runs 89 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its staffing numbers sit below where you'd want them: 3.70 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86. Weekends dip further, about 7% under its own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts land when families often visit. Annual turnover of 55.7% tops the national 45.8% average, which means caregivers cycle through faster than residents can build familiarity with them. The inspection record shows 23 deficiencies, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, though none tied to abuse. A recent April 2025 inspection is a point in its favor, but the staffing pattern and turnover are what stick.

Serious cites
0

Phoenix Of Maple Heights runs on thinner staffing than most homes its size, 3.27 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends dropping about 12% below its own weekday coverage. That gap matters because nurse aides provide most of the hands-on care, and fewer of them per resident tends to show up in daily things like answering call lights and help with meals. The home's 61.9% annual turnover means a large share of its caregivers leave each year, so residents cycle through a lot of unfamiliar faces. Its last inspection was in June 2024, and 44 deficiencies sit on the current record, none at the harm level, none abuse-related, but a volume that helps explain the one-star inspection rating. Ownership is a for-profit limited liability company.

The numbers at Winchester Terrace tell two different stories. Its quality measures come in at the top of CMS's scale, but staffing sits at the bottom: 2.75 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends run about 11% thinner than weekdays. That thin coverage is hard to separate from a 64.6% annual turnover rate, well above the 45.8% national figure. The inspection record is the other concern, 40 deficiencies, three serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and a $14,015 fine, with the most recent survey in July 2024. For-profit corporate ownership rounds out the picture. Good clinical scores, but ask direct questions about who's actually on the floor.

Accord Care Community Orrville runs on thinner staffing than most homes its size, about 3.24 nurse hours per resident each day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 12% below its own weekday levels. That gap shows up in the numbers: a one-star CMS staffing rating and 60.9% annual turnover, well above the 45.8% national figure. Its inspection record carries 44 deficiencies, including two at the harm level and three tied to abuse, with the most recent inspection in October 2024.

Shepherd of the Valley-Boardman runs 4.04 nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the national average, but that average hides a weekend problem, staffing drops roughly 19% below its own weekday level, which is when families tend to visit and notice. Staff turnover sits at 66.7%, well above the national 45.8%, so the people providing that care are changing often. The current inspection record carries 24 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, with the most recent inspection dated December 31, 2025. This is a nonprofit operation with solid quality marks, but the inspection history and turnover are the numbers worth asking about directly.

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.

The Enclave at Barnesville runs on 3.50 nursing hours per resident day, roughly 9% under the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage dips about 14% below its own weekday staffing. That thin margin sits behind a CMS health inspection rating of 1 out of 5, with 56 deficiencies on the current record, 4 at harm or jeopardy level and 5 tied to abuse. Three fines total $334,135. Quality measures score 4 out of 5, but strong chart numbers don't offset inspection findings or the staffing gap. This for-profit LLC has been inspected recently, in May 2026, and the record it produced is the one families should read closely before deciding.

Heritage Healthcare of Painesville runs on 3.05 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly a fifth below the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 11% below its own weekday staffing. Turnover sits at 70.5% against a national average of 45.8%, so the aides and nurses around your relative are likely to change often, and CMS gives staffing one star out of five. The quality measure score is five stars, which sounds great until you notice it's built on data the home largely reports itself. Twenty-four deficiencies are on the current record, two tied to abuse, none rising to actual harm. The last inspection was September 2024. Ask about weekend coverage and who actually supervises evenings.
