Nurse staffing here runs 5.42 hours per resident day, roughly 40% above the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip only about 3% below the home's own weekday level, a fairly small gap compared to what many homes show. Staff turnover sits at 33.3%, well below the national 45.8%, which matters for whether aides and nurses stick around long enough to know your mother's routines. The tradeoff is in inspections: 14 deficiencies on the current record, one tied to abuse, though none reached harm or jeopardy level, and the most recent inspection was September 2025. Nonprofit ownership under a corporation, 107 certified beds.

Lutheran Social Ministries Cranes Mill runs about 4.37 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 13% above the national average, and its staff tends to stay: turnover is 25% against a national 45.8%. Weekend coverage dips only slightly from weekday levels. The catch is the inspection record, 13 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related. A recent March 2025 inspection means the state has looked at this building lately, so those findings reflect current conditions rather than an old survey. Strong staffing and quality scores sit in the same file as a serious deficiency. Worth asking the administrator directly what that harm-level citation involved and what changed afterward.

The Philadelphia Protestant Home runs 4.07 nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the national average of 3.86, and its weekend staffing holds steady at roughly the same level as weekdays, a gap that trips up plenty of homes. Staff turnover sits at 20.2% against a national average near 46%, meaning the people caring for residents tend to stick around. Its last inspection was in May 2026, and the eight deficiencies on record include none tied to harm, jeopardy, or abuse. For a 116-bed nonprofit in Philadelphia, that combination of stable coverage and a clean recent inspection record is doing most of the work here.

Staffing at Moses Hall runs about 5.10 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a third above the national average, and only about 32.6% of staff left last year against a national rate near 46%. Weekend coverage dips about 10% below its own weekday levels, so ask how that plays out on a Sunday. The record isn't clean: 20 deficiencies, three serious enough to put residents in harm's way and five tied to abuse, plus one fine of $23,520. The last inspection was March 2025. Strong staffing and quality scores sit alongside a state-run record with real problems on it.

Atherton Baptist Home sits in Alhambra with 113 certified beds and a nonprofit owner, which tends to show up in the numbers here.

Fowler Health Care runs on 4.00 nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the national average of 3.86, and its recent inspection handed it four of five stars. The staffing picture holds up elsewhere too: 31.4% turnover is well below the 45.8% national figure, and both quality and staffing measures earned five stars. What tempers that is the 14 deficiencies on the current record, none at harm or jeopardy level, but two tied to abuse, which families should ask about directly. Weekend staffing also dips roughly 19% below weekday levels. The last inspection was April 2026, so the record is current.

Riverside Care Center runs on more nursing hours than most homes in the country, 4.84 per resident per day against a national average of 3.86, roughly a quarter more hands-on time. Weekend coverage dips about 16% below weekdays, which is common but worth asking about if your family visits mainly on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover sits at 32.5%, meaningfully lower than the 45.8% national figure, so the people caring for residents tend to stay. The inspection record is clean where it matters: six deficiencies total, none causing harm and none tied to abuse, with the most recent survey in March 2025. For-profit ownership by an individual operator is the one thing to keep an eye on, but the numbers here hold up.

Community First Medical Center sits on Chicago's north side with 66 certified beds and a for-profit individual owner. The staffing numbers stand out: 7.62 nurse hours per resident day, roughly double the national average, though weekend coverage drops about 16% below its own weekday level. Staff turnover of 31.3% beats the 45.8% national figure. The inspection record is mixed but not alarming. Twenty deficiencies on file, none at the harm or jeopardy level, with one abuse-related citation. The last inspection was August 2024, so the record is reasonably current. CMS gives it four stars for health inspections and quality measures, five for staffing. What the numbers describe is a small home that invests heavily in nursing hours and retains staff better than most, while carrying a moderate deficiency load and a slight weekend gap worth asking about directly.

Fairview Haven is a 52-bed church-affiliated nonprofit in Fairbury, and the numbers suggest it runs like a place that knows its residents. Nurse staffing sits at 4.78 hours per resident day, roughly a quarter above the national average, and weekend coverage dips only about 16 percent below its own weekday level, a real drop, but smaller than what many homes show. Staff turnover is 30.4 percent against a national average near 46 percent, which matters for continuity of care. Fourteen deficiencies on record sounds like a lot until you see none reached harm or jeopardy and none involved abuse; the last inspection was September 2024. Small, stable, and inspected recently.

Tabor Hills is a nonprofit home in Naperville with 96 beds, and the numbers here are unusually steady. Nurse staffing runs 4.91 hours per resident day, roughly 27% above the national average, though weekends dip about 16% below its own weekday levels, so ask how that gap gets covered. Staff turnover sits at 31.5% against a national 45.8%, which means caregivers are more likely to still be there next year. The current record shows 14 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the last inspection in May 2024. For a family weighing consistency of care, that combination is what stands out.

Heartland Care Center runs 38 beds in Marcus under nonprofit ownership, and the staffing numbers are the first thing that stands out: 4.45 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 15 percent above the national average. Weekend coverage dips about 20 percent below its own weekday level, which is common but worth knowing if your visits fall on Saturdays or Sundays.

Titonka Care Center runs on a nonprofit model with 26 beds, and the staffing numbers are its strongest card: 4.15 nurse hours per resident day, about 7% above the national average. Turnover sits at 25% against a national 45.8%, which matters in a small rural home where knowing residents is half the job. The catch is weekends, when coverage drops roughly 22% below its own weekday level. Nine deficiencies are on record, none involving harm or abuse, and the most recent inspection was April 2026, so the picture is current. Quality and inspection ratings both land at 4 out of 5, staffing at 5.

Childserve Habilitation Center runs on a level of nursing hours that's unusual even among well-staffed homes, 10.30 per resident per day, against a national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips below its own weekday pace, but the baseline is high enough that it stays well ahead of most places. State inspectors turned up 11 deficiencies on the current record, none at the harm or jeopardy level, though three involve abuse, which families should ask about directly. Annual turnover of 33.9% is meaningfully lower than the 45.8% national figure, so the people doing the work tend to stay. The last inspection was in May 2025, so the record is recent.

Owensboro Health Muhlenberg Community Hospital Ltc runs 45 certified beds in Greenville under nonprofit ownership, and the staffing numbers here are the story. At 5.77 nurse hours per resident day, it sits roughly 49% above the national average of 3.86, a margin few homes can match. Weekend coverage dips about 15% below its own weekday level, and annual turnover of 38.9% is better than the 45.8% national figure. Ten deficiencies appear on the current record, none at harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related, and the health inspection rating sits at 2 out of 5 with a survey dated March 2026. Strong quality and staffing scores carry the weight; the inspection history is what keeps this from being an unqualified picture.

Paul E Patton Eastern Ky Veterans Center runs on unusually deep nurse staffing for a nursing home, 5.49 hours per resident day, roughly 42 percent above the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips about 15 percent below its own weekday levels, so that strength thins out somewhat on Saturdays and Sundays. The state-run home in Hazard keeps just 3 deficiencies on its current record with none at the harm or jeopardy level, though 2 are abuse-related, and its last inspection was December 2024. Staff turnover sits at 13 percent against a national average near 46 percent, which matters for whether the same caregivers show up for residents week after week.

New England Pediatric Care runs 80 certified beds as a nonprofit, and the staffing number is the first thing that stands out: 8.11 nurse hours per resident day, roughly double the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage does dip about 21% below its own weekday level, so ask how that plays out on a Saturday. Turnover sits at 30.7%, well under the national 45.8%, which matters for kids who need consistent caregivers.

Eaton County Medical Care Facility is county-owned and staffed well above the national average, 6.31 nurse hours per resident day against 3.86 nationally-a figure that shows up in its staffing and quality ratings. Weekend coverage dips about 16% below its own weekday level, and turnover sits at 38%, lower than the 45.8% national average. The record isn't clean: 18 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse. Its most recent inspection was February 2026. Strong day-to-day staffing paired with a deficiency history that includes serious findings is what the numbers show.

Lakeview runs on unusually steady ground. Nurse staffing sits at 5.72 hours per resident day, roughly half again the national mark, and only 18.2% of staff left last year against a national average near 46%, that kind of retention usually shows up as familiar faces who know the residents. Inspections are recent and clean where it counts: fifteen deficiencies on record, none causing harm or involving abuse, and the health inspection rating came back perfect. The one soft spot is weekends, when coverage drops about a fifth below the home's own weekday level. Nonprofit ownership, 30 beds, and a four out of five on quality measures round out a record that's hard to argue with.

Appleton Area Health runs on city government ownership and 47 certified beds, and the raw numbers are unusual in one respect: total nurse staffing sits at 4.81 hours per resident day, roughly a quarter above the national average of 3.86. That's a real margin, though the CMS staffing star lands at just 1/5, and weekend coverage drops about 18% below the home's own weekday level, so the daily experience isn't as steady as the annual figure suggests. Turnover at 34% is better than the 45.8% national rate. Thirteen deficiencies sit on the current record with none at harm or jeopardy level, one abuse-related, and the last inspection was April 2026.
