Solon Nursing Care Center sits in Johnson County with 96 certified beds and a for-profit corporate owner. The inspection record is genuinely strong, nine deficiencies on file, just one at the harm level, nothing abuse-related, and a survey as recent as July 2025. Staffing runs slightly under the national average at 3.83 nurse hours per resident day, and weekends dip about 10% below the home's own weekday coverage. Turnover is the real pressure point: 55.3% annually against a 45.8% national figure, which matters more when a building is already lean on hours. Quality measures land at 2 out of 5 stars, a low mark that inspection results alone don't explain.

Villa Maria is a 64-bed nonprofit home in Mulvane, and its inspection record is the strongest thing it has going: a five-star health inspection rating, with the most recent survey in December 2024 and 18 deficiencies on file, none of them at the harm or jeopardy level and none related to abuse. The nursing hours tell a different story. At 3.92 per resident day, staffing sits barely above the national average of 3.86, and the three-star staffing rating reflects that. Weekend coverage drops roughly 8% below weekday levels, and annual turnover of 65.8% runs well above the national 45.8%. One fine totaling $22,081 is on record.

Leisure Homestead At Stafford runs 37 beds as a nonprofit, and its health inspection record is where it looks strongest, a recent August 2025 survey and no deficiencies tied to actual harm or abuse among the 20 on file. Staff turnover sits at 36.7%, better than the 45.8% national average, which matters for consistency of care. The staffing numbers tell a different story: the government's staffing rating is the lowest tier, and quality measures land at 2 of 5, so day-to-day coverage and clinical outcomes lag well behind the inspection picture. For a family weighing this home, the honest read is a place that passes its surveys but may run thin on the floor.

Willow Ridge runs on 3.50 nurse hours per resident day, about 9% under the national average, and weekends dip roughly 13% below its own weekday staffing, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Turnover sits at 43.7%, slightly better than the national rate. The inspection history is a mixed picture: a recent survey in September 2025 and a four-star health inspection rating, but 19 deficiencies on record, including one at the harm level and three tied to abuse. Fines total $10,059. The one-star quality measure rating stands out against the otherwise decent inspection score, suggesting the clinical outcomes data isn't tracking with how the home performed on survey day.

Vermilion Health Care Center runs 120 beds under corporate ownership in Kaplan, and its inspection record is genuinely strong, a clean five stars from CMS, twelve deficiencies on file, none of them causing harm or tied to abuse, and the most recent survey done in September 2025. Staffing is where it thins out: 3.54 nurse hours per resident day sits about 8% under the national figure, and weekends drop roughly 14% below the home's own weekday coverage. Turnover lands at 43.8%, a touch better than average. The tension is quality measures, which CMS rates just one star, suggesting the day-to-day clinical outcomes families actually track don't match how good the building looks on paper.

Barron Center is city-owned and licensed for 219 beds, and its nurse staffing runs about 5.3 hours per resident day, roughly 37% above the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 13% below its own weekday levels, though. The bigger red flag is turnover: 96.2% of staff leave annually, more than double the national 45.8%, meaning the people providing that generous bedside time are constantly being replaced. Inspections look solid, 4 of 5 stars, last visit August 2025, 19 deficiencies with none at the harm level, though two are abuse-related, and one fine totaling $8,278. Quality measures score just 2 of 5.

Pinnacle Health & Rehab in Canton runs a corporation-owned, 47-bed home where the nurses' hours look good on paper, 4.14 per resident day, about 7% above the national average, and that's the strongest part of the picture. Weekends thin out roughly 12% below weekday coverage, though, and turnover sits at 56.7% against a national 45.8%, meaning more than half the staff left within the year. The current record carries 31 deficiencies, one tied to abuse, with the last inspection in November 2025. Staffing earns 4 stars, but inspections and quality measures each earn 2, which is where the C comes from.

Lions Rehab Center runs 101 certified beds in Cumberland under corporate for-profit ownership. The health inspection record is the weak spot here: 91 deficiencies on file, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and seven tied to abuse. Inspectors were last in on March 27, 2026, so that record is recent. Nurse staffing sits at 3.41 hours per resident day, roughly 12% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends run about 7% thinner than weekdays. Turnover is the one clear bright spot, 38.5% against a national 45.8%, meaning fewer caregivers are walking out the door than at the typical home. Whether that steadiness offsets the inspection findings is the question worth asking on your tour.

Blue Point Healthcare Center is a 135-bed for-profit home in Baltimore, and the numbers pull in different directions. Its quality measure score is strong, but that sits on top of a one-star health inspection rating and a record of 80 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse. A single fine of nearly $342,000 has been levied. Nurse staffing runs about 3.27 hours per resident day, roughly 15% under the national average, and weekend coverage dips slightly below its own weekday level. Staff turnover, at 33%, is actually better than the 45.8% national figure. The last inspection was recent, December 2025.

Sunny Acres runs lean on nursing hours, 3.33 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 12% below its own weekday coverage. That's the main thing pulling its staffing picture down. Where it looks steadier is on the clinical and inspection side: a 4-out-of-5 health inspection rating with a recent May 2025 survey, 23 deficiencies on record but none involving harm or abuse, and a 4-out-of-5 quality measure score. Turnover sits at 41.7%, slightly better than the 45.8% national figure, and it's a for-profit LLC. If your family member needs consistent weekday care, the numbers here are workable; weekend coverage is where I'd ask questions.

Iosco County Medical Care Facility has real staffing depth, 6.11 nurse hours per resident day, well above the national average, and that's the strongest thing on its record. But nearly every employee who was here a year ago is gone, with turnover at 96.1% against a national norm under 46%. State inspectors have logged 33 deficiencies, three of them serious enough to put residents in harm's way, including one abuse finding, and the most recent inspection closed out just this January. County-owned and 78 beds, the home earns a 4 on staffing but only a 2 on health inspections. High turnover undercuts even good staffing numbers; aides who don't stay long can't learn residents' routines or catch subtle changes in condition.

Lynwood Manor runs 84 certified beds in Adrian under individual for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.36 hours per resident day, roughly 13 percent under the national average of 3.86. Weekends thin out further, running about 12 percent below the home's own weekday coverage, so the hours when families tend to visit are often the leanest. Annual turnover lands at 44.8 percent, close to the national 45.8 percent, meaning the staff is fairly stable even if there aren't as many of them. The current record carries 34 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one tied to abuse, plus a $23,761 fine. The most recent inspection was June 4, 2025.

Riverview runs 203 beds in Detroit under limited-liability, for-profit ownership, and its recent inspection history is mostly clean, 19 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related. A 4-out-of-5 inspection rating and an April 2025 visit mean the state's picture of the place is fairly current, and staffing sits well above average at 5.26 nurse hours per resident day, with weekend coverage dipping about 13% below weekdays. Where the numbers get harder to read is quality: 1 out of 5 stars on CMS quality measures, against 3 for staffing. Turnover at 42.5% is slightly better than the 45.8% national figure, but at that rate, aides still cycle through regularly enough that families should ask who's actually on the floor.

Windemere Park's recent inspection history is its strongest card, a four-star health inspection rating with 24 deficiencies on record and none at the harm or jeopardy level, though two abuse-related citations are worth asking about directly. Staffing is where the picture gets thinner. At 3.80 nurse hours per resident day, it sits just under the national average, and weekends run about 11% below its own weekday coverage. The bigger number is turnover: 67.9% against a national average of 45.8%, meaning most of the people caring for your relative this year likely won't be there next year. That churn matters more than a star rating when you're thinking about consistency of daily care.

Guardian Angels Care Center is a 120-bed nonprofit in Elk River, and the numbers pull in two directions. Nurse staffing sits at 4.81 hours per resident day, roughly a quarter above the national average, though weekends run about 10% thinner than weekdays. Turnover is 51%, higher than the 45.8% national figure. On the inspection side, the record holds 18 deficiencies, four of them at the harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, with four fines totaling $98,353 and a 2-out-of-5 health inspection rating. Quality measures land at 3. Staffing volume is the strong point here; the inspection history is what a family should ask about directly.

Luther Haven is church-affiliated and nonprofit, and its nurse staffing runs about 9% above the national average, 4.22 hours per resident day against 3.86. Weekends dip roughly 10% below its own weekday level, so coverage thins out when families tend to visit. The harder numbers are on the inspection side: 29 deficiencies on the current record, including 3 at the harm or jeopardy level and 4 tied to abuse, with two fines totaling $101,268. Staff turnover sits at 51.6%, above the 45.8% national average. The most recent inspection was August 2025, so the record is current. Strong hours on paper, but a citation history that raises real questions.

Cerenity Marian in Saint Paul runs a nonprofit shop with 90 beds, and the staffing numbers look strong on paper, 4.15 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 7% above the national average, and weekends only dip about 12% below its own weekdays, which is better than many homes manage. The trouble sits elsewhere. Staff turnover is 50.9%, well past the 45.8% national figure, so the people delivering that care keep leaving, and CMS has cited 16 deficiencies on the current record, including two at harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, with $130,913 in fines. The last inspection was recent, March 2026, so that record is current, not stale.

Tuff Memorial Home runs 48 certified beds as a nonprofit corporation, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.95 hours per resident day, a bit above the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 18% below its own weekday coverage, which is worth asking about if your family member needs care on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover is 39.5%, better than the 45.8% national figure, so aides and nurses tend to stick around longer here than at the typical home. The inspection record shows 6 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with 12 fines totaling $44,434 across its history.

Parkview Manor is a city-owned home in Ellsworth with 37 beds, and its nurse staffing sits about 13% under the national average at 3.37 hours per resident day, though weekends dip only 8% below its own weekdays, which is steadier than many places manage. Turnover is the standout: 24% against a national average near 46%, meaning the people caring for residents tend to stay. The tradeoff shows up in the clinical picture. Twenty-one deficiencies are on record, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, but the inspection rating sits at 2 out of 5 and quality measures at just 1 out of 5.

Hayes Residence runs on 2.53 nurse staffing hours per resident day, roughly a third below the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 9% below its own weekday levels, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Staff turnover sits at 57.7% against a national 45.8%, meaning more than half the nursing staff leaves each year. Its last inspection was in June 2025, and the record carries 17 deficiencies, two of them serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level. No abuse citations appear, and the quality measure rating is average, but a for-profit home with that staffing gap, that turnover, and two harm-level findings at its most recent survey is worth a close look before you decide.
