Sunporch Of Dodge City runs at 3.42 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 11 percent under the national average, and weekends dip about 9 percent below its own weekday staffing. That gap matters more than the raw number, because care doesn't pause on Saturdays. Annual turnover sits at 63.9 percent against a national 45.8, so nearly two-thirds of the staff cycle out each year, a churn rate that makes consistent care hard to hold onto. The current record shows 16 deficiencies, none at the harm level but one tied to abuse, and the last inspection came in January 2025. This is a nonprofit corporation, 45 beds, mid-range on all three federal ratings. Nothing here is alarming, and nothing here is reassuring either.

Linn Community Nursing Home runs on thinner staffing than most Kansas homes its size, 3.38 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends dip roughly 11% below its own weekday levels, so coverage is lightest exactly when families tend to visit. Annual turnover sits at 51.1%, above the 45.8% national figure, which means new faces on the floor and less continuity for residents who need consistent care. The current record carries 20 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, plus a $10,036 fine. A February 2026 inspection is recent, so this reflects present conditions rather than an old history. Quality measures look better than the day-to-day staffing does.

The Woodleigh of Baton Rouge runs 120 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.86 hours per resident day, essentially dead even with the national average, though weekend coverage drops about 11% below what the home provides on weekdays. Staff turnover is 48.2%, a bit above the national 45.8%, so expect some churn among the people caring for residents. The bigger concern is the inspection record: 26 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, plus a $10,748 fine. The most recent inspection was June 5, 2025, so the picture is current. Three stars each for health inspections, quality measures, and staffing puts this home squarely in the middle of the pack.

Laurelwood Healthcare Center runs 110 certified beds in Elkton under corporate for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.40 hours per resident day, roughly 12 percent under the national average of 3.86, with weekends about 7 percent thinner than weekdays. Turnover is 42 percent, a touch better than the 45.8 percent national figure. The heavier concerns show up in the inspection record: a 2-out-of-5 health inspection rating, 74 deficiencies including one at the harm or jeopardy level and six tied to abuse, plus a $95,610 fine. A recent inspection date of January 30, 2026 means the record is current, not stale.

Sherrill House runs a bit lean on nursing hours, 3.66 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 7% below its own weekday coverage, so a Saturday shift isn't the same as a Tuesday one. The nonprofit's 39.5% turnover is better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for continuity. What pulls it down is the inspection record: 31 deficiencies, including two at harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse. A recent April 2026 inspection means the picture is current, not stale. Families weighing this one should ask directly how those harm and abuse findings were resolved.

Oakdale Rehabilitation runs a tight ship on inspections, a recent visit in June 2025 turned up 11 deficiencies, none of them causing harm and none tied to abuse, which is a cleaner record than plenty of homes its size. Where it gives ground is staffing. At 3.65 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 6% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly another 10% below its own weekday coverage. Turnover is the bigger tell: 55.3% of staff leaving annually against a national 45.8% means a lot of new faces, and new faces don't know your mother's routines. For-profit ownership under an LLC. Nothing alarming here, but ask who's actually on the floor on a Sunday.

Care Village At Mattapan runs about 2.85 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly a quarter below the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage dips a bit further below its own weekday numbers. That thin staffing sits alongside 58 deficiencies on the current record, including one at the harm level and five flagged as abuse-related, which is a lot for an 85-bed home; the inspection history and staffing both land at 2 out of 5 stars, while quality measures come in at 4. Staff turnover of 20.8% is well under the national average of 45.8%, so the people who are there tend to stay. The last inspection was February 19, 2026.

Benjamin Healthcare Center is a 205-bed nonprofit home in Boston that keeps its staff. Turnover runs 11.5% a year against a national average near 46%, and CMS gives it 4 out of 5 stars for staffing and for quality measures. Those numbers are real, and they matter for day-to-day care. What pulls it down is everything the state and federal inspectors found. Thirty-two deficiencies sit on the current record, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse. One fine of $96,705. A 1-star health inspection rating, and a place in the Special Focus Facility program, which CMS reserves for the homes it watches most closely. The last inspection was April 30, 2025. If you're considering this one, ask what's being done about those deficiencies.

Helen Newberry Joy Hltcu Golden Leaves Living Cent runs 39 certified beds in Newberry as a nonprofit corporation. Staff turnover sits at 34.5%, better than the national average of 45.8%, a real bright spot, since stable caregivers matter for daily consistency. Everything else on the record pulls the other way. CMS gives this home just 1 out of 5 stars for both staffing and quality measures, and 2 out of 5 for health inspections. The current deficiency record totals 35, including 5 at the harm or jeopardy level and 3 tied to abuse. One fine of $24,420 is on file, and the last inspection was recent, August 28, 2025. With that many serious citations, ask pointed questions before considering a move here.

Madison Healthcare Services is a small church-affiliated nonprofit, 51 beds, with a strong recent inspection history and nurse staffing that runs about 9% above the national average. That's the good news. The concern is turnover: 100% of nursing staff left over the past year, against a national average near 46%. When everyone is new, experience walks out the door, and weekend coverage already runs about 12% thinner than weekdays. State inspectors logged 16 deficiencies, one serious enough to put a resident in harm's way, and one fine of $10,036. The staffing average looks fine on paper; whether it's stable enough to deliver consistent care is the real question.

Spring Valley Care Center runs 45 beds as a nonprofit, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.59 hours per resident per day, about 7% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip roughly 11% below its own weekday coverage, and annual turnover hits 76.2% against a national 45.8%, so a lot of the people caring for residents are still new to the building. Inspections turned up 21 deficiencies, none at the harm level, though one is abuse-related. The most recent inspection was December 2025, so the record is current. Quality measures score well; staffing and inspection results are where the drag shows.

Nurse staffing at Bedford runs 4.61 hours per resident day, roughly 19 percent above the national average, and weekends dip about 12 percent below its own weekday level. The inspection history is where the picture darkens: three deficiencies on record, two of them at the harm or jeopardy level, one abuse-related, plus a single $66,700 fine. Staff turnover sits at 53.8 percent against a national average near 45.8, so a fair share of the people providing that above-average care are new or on their way out. The most recent inspection was August 14, 2025. A for-profit limited liability company operates the 60-bed home.

Loch Haven is county-owned, and its 100 beds run on 3.57 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 8% under the national average of 3.86, with weekends about 10% thinner than weekdays. That staffing shows up as a 4/5 CMS staffing star, and turnover is genuinely low at 29.8% against a 45.8% national average, which suggests people stay. The trouble sits elsewhere: a 2/5 inspection rating, 32 deficiencies on the current record including two at harm or jeopardy level, and $77,841 in fines across two events. No abuse citations, and the most recent inspection was August 2025, so the picture is current. Quality measures land mid-range at 3/5.

Daviess County Nursing and Rehabilitation runs 3.11 nurse hours per resident each day, roughly 19% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 11% below its own weekday staffing. That thin coverage shows up in the numbers: 52.1% annual turnover against a national 45.8%, and a two-star CMS staffing rating. The 19 deficiencies on record included one abuse-related finding, though none rose to harm or jeopardy level, and the most recent inspection was April 2025. Quality measures score well at four stars while staffing lags, a gap worth asking about directly. Corporate for-profit ownership, 97 certified beds.

Hillcrest runs on a corporate for-profit model with 151 certified beds, and its staffing is genuinely a bright spot, 4.59 nurse hours per resident day, about 19% above the national average, with turnover at 41.6% that's actually a touch better than the 45.8% norm. Weekends dip roughly 10% below weekday coverage, which is worth asking about if your family visits then. The trouble sits on the inspection side: 17 deficiencies on the current record, three of them at harm or jeopardy level, and a $51,150 fine. The last inspection was December 17, 2024, and the two-star health inspection and quality ratings reflect those findings rather than the staffing numbers.

Mission Pines runs on thin staffing for a 240-bed building: 3.04 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 12% below its own weekday coverage. Annual turnover sits at 52.6%, higher than the 45.8% national figure, so the people providing that care are cycling through faster than average. Inspections look better than the payroll does, a 4/5 health inspection rating, 23 deficiencies on record with none at harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related, and the most recent survey was November 2025. For-profit, limited liability ownership. The quality measure score holds at 4/5, but those numbers come from resident assessments, not from how many hands are actually on the floor.

Morrison Nursing Home runs about 3.39 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 12% under the national average, and weekends dip another 12% below its own weekday coverage. The bigger concern is its inspection record: 22 deficiencies, including 3 at the harm or jeopardy level and 4 tied to abuse, plus one $45,227 fine. CMS has placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, a designation reserved for homes with a persistent pattern of serious problems. Staff turnover at 40% is better than the 45.8% national figure, and the most recent inspection came in January 2026, so the record is current. What stands out isn't a single bad number; it's the combination of thin staffing, serious deficiency findings, and federal watch-list status together.

Embassy Manor runs 280 beds in Edison under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers pull in different directions. Nurse staffing sits at 3.31 hours per resident day, roughly 14% under the national average, and weekends dip about 11% below the home's own weekday coverage, so the hours get thinnest exactly when families tend to visit. The inspection record is the bigger concern: 25 deficiencies, including two at harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, plus a $102,840 fine. Staff turnover at 39.8% actually beats the national 45.8%, and the quality measure rating is strong, but a 2/5 inspection score with recent trouble on record is what a family should weigh first.

Shore Gardens is a for-profit home in Toms River with 149 certified beds, and its record is mixed in ways worth understanding. Staff turnover sits at 28.9 percent, notably better than the national 45.8 percent, so the people who work here tend to stay. But daily nurse staffing runs about 21 percent below the national average, and weekends dip about 11 percent lower than weekdays, meaning care thins out exactly when families often visit. The inspection record is the real concern: 32 deficiencies, including two at harm or jeopardy level and five tied to abuse, with $179,628 in fines and a February 2025 inspection.

Little Brook is a 36-bed for-profit home in Hunterdon County, and its inspection record is the main thing to know before you visit. Federal inspectors have logged 54 deficiencies, including 8 that caused actual harm or put residents in immediate jeopardy and 9 tied to abuse. Three fines add up to $348,686, and CMS has placed the home in its Special Focus Facility program, which is reserved for the poorest performers. Staffing is rated 1 out of 5, and the last inspection was October 30, 2024. Annual turnover runs 40.7%, slightly better than the 45.8% national average, but that's the one number here working in its favor.
