Twin Maples runs 44 beds in Durham under corporate ownership, and its nurse staffing sits around 3.18 hours per resident day, roughly 18% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 13% below the home's own weekday coverage, which matters when families visit and needs don't pause. Turnover is 35.3%, better than the 45.8% national figure, so the crew here is steadier than most. But the inspection record carries 27 deficiencies, including one at harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, plus a $24,928 fine. The most recent inspection was May 22, 2025.

Port St Lucie Rehabilitation and Healthcare runs 180 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its staffing sits at 4.03 nurse hours per resident day, about 4% above the national average of 3.86. That edge comes with a caveat: weekends run roughly 11% leaner than weekdays, so coverage isn't evenly spread across the week. Turnover lands at 41.4%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure. The inspection record shows 20 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the last survey in September 2024. Quality measures score low relative to staffing and inspections, which is worth asking about directly.

Community Health and Rehabilitation Center runs 120 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its inspection record is the strongest part of the picture: a four-out-of-five health inspection rating, with the most recent survey completed in August 2025 and 11 deficiencies on file. None of those deficiencies rose to harm or jeopardy level, and there are no abuse-related citations. Staffing is thinner than it looks at first glance. At 3.72 nurse hours per resident day, the home sits about 4% under the national average, and weekend coverage drops roughly 5% below its own weekday level. Annual turnover of 43.6% is slightly better than the 45.8% national figure. Quality measures land at three out of five.

Oasis At The Keys runs a for-profit shop with 120 beds, and the staffing picture is mixed. Nurses clock 3.76 hours per resident day, a bit under the 3.86 national average, and weekends come in about 9% lighter than weekdays. Turnover sits at 39.8%, which is actually better than the 45.8% national figure. What drags this home down is its inspection record: 34 deficiencies, two of them serious enough to risk harm, with a $6,857 fine and the last full inspection in April 2024. The quality measure rating is also weak. Good retention and decent weekday coverage can't fully offset that many findings.

Miller Nursing Home in Colquitt runs on a hospital district's budget, and the staffing numbers show it: 5.38 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 39% above the national average. Weekends dip about 14% below its own weekday level, which is worth asking about if your family tends to visit then. Turnover sits at 40.8%, a bit better than the national 45.8%. Inspections came back clean on the serious stuff, seven deficiencies on record, none at harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related, and the last visit was February 2025. Quality measures score well. The catch is the staffing star rating, which sits low despite the raw hours.

Orchard View runs on a city-county budget, and the numbers show where that money goes: 4.70 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 22 percent above the national average, with turnover at 44 percent, essentially even with the national rate. Weekends thin out about 11 percent from weekday staffing, which is worth asking about if your family visits on Saturdays. The tradeoff shows up in inspections. Thirteen deficiencies sit on the current record, three tied to abuse, and the health inspection rating lands at 2 out of 5, though none of those deficiencies rose to actual harm or jeopardy. The most recent inspection was March 2026. Strong daily coverage, a middling regulatory record, that's the honest split here.

The Cottages at Rockmart runs on about 5.94 nurse hours per resident day, roughly half again the national average, and its weekend coverage barely dips from weekday levels. Staff turnover sits at 30.6 percent, well under the 45.8 percent national figure, which suggests people stay. The tradeoffs show up in the record: 13 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, but one tied to abuse, and a January 2026 inspection that's recent enough to trust. Quality measures rate a middling 3 out of 5 while inspections and staffing each earn 4. For-profit LLC ownership is worth knowing, though the numbers here don't read like a building cutting corners on care.

Pruitthealth - The Lodge runs 106 certified beds in Warner Robins under corporate for-profit ownership. The inspection record is the strong part: a five-star health inspection rating with only four deficiencies on file, none of them causing harm or jeopardy, and the most recent survey was in April 2026. The staffing picture is thinner than it looks at first glance. Total nurse hours come in at 4.39 per resident day, about 14% above the national average, but the staffing star rating is just 2 out of 5, and weekends run roughly 16% below weekday coverage. Annual turnover sits at 48.8%, a few points above the national average. One deficiency was abuse-related, which families should ask about directly.

Nurse staffing at this Kula home runs about 5.79 hours per resident day, roughly half again the national average of 3.86, enough to earn the top CMS staffing rating. Weekends dip about 14% below weekday levels, so coverage isn't perfectly even across the week. The tradeoffs show up elsewhere: annual turnover sits at 53.9% against a national 45.8%, and the current inspection record carries 32 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse. The two-star health inspection rating reflects that. Quality measures scored 5/5, and the last inspection was June 2024. Strong bedside hours, persistent regulatory findings.

Nuuanu Hale sits in Honolulu with 75 certified beds and a for-profit corporate owner. The staffing numbers are a mixed picture: 3.61 nurse hours per resident day, about 6% under the national average, with weekends running roughly 10% below its own weekday level. That said, turnover is unusually low at 20.8% against a national 45.8%, which suggests a stable crew even if raw hours are thin. The inspection record is where the concern concentrates. Fifty-six deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse, plus a $27,310 fine. The most recent inspection was February 2026. Quality and staffing measures rate well above average, but those compliance findings are the number a family should ask about directly.

Graham Hospital runs a small 35-bed unit in Canton, and the staffing numbers stand out: 5.45 nurse hours per resident day, well above the national average. That's the main reason its staffing rating holds at 4 stars. The catch is turnover, 81.8% of staff leave each year, roughly double the national rate, which matters for whether that coverage stays consistent. Its inspection record shows 13 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, with the most recent visit in April 2026. Quality measures score 4 stars, so day-to-day care indicators look decent. If you're weighing this one, ask how they hold staffing steady through that churn.

Sunny Hill is county-owned, and the numbers show a place that's well staffed but not perfect on care quality. At 4.71 nurse hours per resident day, it runs about 22% above the national average, with turnover at 35.7%, noticeably lower than the 45.8% norm, which matters for consistency. Weekends dip roughly 9% below weekday coverage, though. The tradeoff shows up elsewhere: 24 deficiencies on record, including one at the harm level, and a 2/5 on quality measures despite a 5/5 staffing rating. The most recent inspection was January 2025, so the record is current. If you're weighing this one, ask specifically about that harm-level deficiency and how weekend coverage holds up.

La Salle County Nursing Home runs on a county government budget in Ottawa, and its record is mixed in ways worth knowing. The clinical quality measures look strong, but nurse staffing sits at 3.54 hours per resident day, about 8% under the national average, and weekends dip roughly 14% below the home's own weekday levels, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Staff turnover at 35.4% is better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for consistency of care. The current inspection record carries 25 deficiencies, three of them at the harm or jeopardy level, with two fines totaling $146,063 and a last inspection in August 2024.

New Summit runs on 4.23 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 10% above the national figure, though weekends dip about 7% below its own weekday staffing. Turnover sits at 43.4%, a bit better than the 45.8% national average. The current record shows 22 deficiencies, one of them serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, but none tied to abuse; the most recent inspection was in June 2025, so the picture is fairly fresh. It's a for-profit LLC with 120 beds in Arlington Heights, and its inspection, quality, and staffing marks all land at four out of five stars. Solid numbers with a couple of soft spots worth asking about directly.

Heritage Center is county-owned, and that shows in the staffing: 4.00 nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the national average of 3.86. But weekends run about 12% thinner than weekdays, and turnover sits at 46.8%, slightly worse than the national 45.8%, so the coverage you see on a Tuesday isn't what you get on a Sunday. The inspection record is the bigger concern: 29 deficiencies, two at harm or jeopardy level, one abuse-related, with the last inspection in April 2025. Quality measures score well, but a recent inspection with harm-level findings is the number worth asking the administrator about directly.

Providence Health Care Center is a 70-bed, church-affiliated nonprofit home in Vigo County, and its biggest problem shows up in staffing, where it earns just one star out of five. That low mark matters more than anything else here, since day-to-day care depends on having enough hands on deck. The inspection record backs it up: 24 deficiencies on the current record, including one serious enough to reach the harm or jeopardy level, though none involved abuse. The most recent inspection was in May 2025, so the picture is fairly current. Quality measures land in the middle at three stars, meaning resident outcomes look average on paper even while staffing lags well behind the national norm.

Glen Haven Village runs a leaner ship than most on the floor: 4.96 nurse hours per resident day, about 28% above the national average, enough to earn the top CMS staffing rating. Weekend coverage dips roughly 9% below weekday levels, and turnover sits at 43%, slightly better than the national 45.8%. The trouble is everything else. Inspectors have cited 23 deficiencies on the current record, four serious enough to risk harm, one tied to abuse, and three fines totaling $35,913. The most recent inspection was June 2025, and a 2-out-of-5 health inspection rating tells you those findings weren't minor paperwork issues. Good staffing, uneven care.

Marian Home runs a tight ship on the staffing side. At 4.06 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 5% above the national average, and its 37.8% turnover beats the 45.8% national figure, meaning the people caring for your relative are more likely to still be there next year than at the typical Iowa home. The tradeoff shows up on the clinical side. CMS gives it just 2 of 5 stars on quality measures, and its one deficiency on record is flagged at the harm level, which the agency doesn't take lightly. Weekend staffing also dips about 11% below weekday levels, worth asking about directly.

Trinity Center At Luther Park runs on a nonprofit model with 120 certified beds in Des Moines, and its staffing numbers land close to the national average, 3.83 nurse hours per resident day against 3.86 nationally, though weekends dip roughly 10% below its own weekday coverage. What stands out more is retention: 26.3% turnover versus a national average of 45.8%, meaning workers here tend to stay. The trouble sits in inspections. Thirteen deficiencies are on record, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse, plus a single fine of $162,205. The most recent inspection was December 23, 2025. Families weighing this home should ask directly about those abuse-related findings and what changed since.

Evergreen Community of Johnson County is a nonprofit home in Olathe with 86 certified beds, and its staffing is the standout fact: 5.26 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a third more than the national average, earning a 5-out-of-5 staffing rating. Weekend coverage dips about 11% below its own weekday level, so ask how that plays out on Saturdays. Turnover sits at 45.3%, basically the national average, meaning the strong hours aren't coming from a unusually stable team. Inspections in February 2026 produced a 4-star health rating but 24 deficiencies on record, two at the harm level, and $22,913 in fines. Quality measures scored 2 out of 5, the weak spot. Plenty of nursing time, mixed clinical results.
