Staff turnover

Cornwall Manor runs about 5.1 nurse hours per resident each day, roughly a third more than the national average of 3.86, and its weekend staffing only dips about 10% below weekday levels. Staff turnover sits at 32.1%, well under the 45.8% national figure, which matters because consistent caregivers tend to know residents' routines. The current record shows seven deficiencies, none involving harm or jeopardy and none abuse-related, and the most recent inspection was in June 2025. The weaker spot is the three-out-of-five quality measure rating, so ask what those specific measures cover. As a nonprofit with 96 certified beds, it isn't chasing quarterly returns.

William Hood Dunwoody Care Center runs on about 5.98 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 55% above the national average, and its five deficiencies sit entirely below the harm level, with no abuse citations on record. That staffing cushion holds up better than most places on weekends, dropping only about 10% from its own weekday level, and its 38.3% turnover is lower than the 45.8% national figure. The health inspection rating is perfect, the quality measures land at four of five stars, and the last inspection was recent enough to reflect current conditions. Nonprofit ownership and 81 beds round out a picture of a home that is well-staffed and consistently clean on paper.

Dock Terrace runs on 4.59 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 19% above the national average, and its staff turnover sits at 26.7% against a national 45.8%. That combination matters more than any single number: enough hands on site, and the same hands staying long enough to know the residents. Weekend coverage dips about 10% below weekday levels, which is worth asking about directly. The current record shows zero deficiencies, including none at the harm level and none abuse-related, with the last inspection in September 2025. The nonprofit ownership and the 5/5 inspection and staffing ratings line up with what the numbers already suggest.

Masonic Village at Sewickley runs on a nonprofit model with 128 certified beds, and its staffing story is mixed. Total nurse hours land at 3.84 per resident day, just under the national mark, and weekend coverage drops about 12% from weekday levels, a gap families should ask about directly. Where it stands out is retention: 29.9% turnover against a national average near 46% means caregivers tend to stay. The inspection record carries 26 deficiencies, including one at harm level and four tied to abuse, and the last survey was mid-2025. Quality and staffing marks from CMS are strong; the inspection history is the piece to weigh carefully.

Concordia At Spiritrust Gettysburg runs about 4.11 nurse hours per resident each day, roughly 6% above the national average, and its staff turnover sits at 35.4% against a national 45.8%, meaning fewer caregivers are walking out the door here than at the typical home. Weekend staffing dips about 9% below weekday levels, so ask how that plays out on a Saturday. The 17 deficiencies on record include nothing at the harm or jeopardy level and nothing abuse-related, and the most recent inspection was April 30, 2026. For a 60-bed nonprofit, the numbers describe steady, well-staffed care rather than anything flashy.

Moravian Hall Square runs 4.73 nursing hours per resident per day, roughly 22% above the national figure of 3.86, and that staffing shows up in the federal stars: five out of five. Weekend coverage dips about 7% below its own weekday level, worth asking about if your family visits Saturdays and Sundays. Turnover sits at 40.7%, better than the 45.8% national average but still meaning four in ten caregivers left within a year. Inspections turned up 7 deficiencies, one serious enough to cite harm or jeopardy, with no abuse findings. The last state visit was March 2026, so the record is current.

Beaumont At Bryn Mawr runs on a nonprofit model with 44 certified beds, and the staffing numbers stand out right away: 6.37 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 65% above the national average of 3.86. That cushion matters most on weekends, when hours dip about 15% below the home's own weekday level, still well above average, but worth knowing if you'll be visiting then. Turnover sits at 22.2%, less than half the national 45.8%, which suggests aides and nurses tend to stay. Only two deficiencies appear on the current record, neither at the harm level and none abuse-related, with the last inspection dated May 2026.

Lutheran Community at Telford runs on 75 certified beds as a nonprofit, and the staffing numbers are the first thing that stands out: 4.66 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 21% above the national average. Weekend coverage dips about 10% below its own weekday level, which is normal but worth knowing if you're planning visits or worrying about Saturday care. Staff turnover sits at 27.1% against a national average near 46%, so the people caring for residents tend to stay. Six deficiencies on record, none at the harm level, none abuse-related, and the most recent inspection was July 2025. The inspection and staffing ratings both came back 5 out of 5.

Maple Farm runs on a nonprofit model with 46 beds in Akron, and the numbers hold up well against national benchmarks. Nurse staffing sits at 4.55 hours per resident day, roughly 18% above the national average, with turnover at 30.5% compared to the national rate of 45.8%, meaning workers tend to stay longer here than at most homes. Weekend coverage dips about 14% below weekday levels, which is common but worth asking about. Five deficiencies on record, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, with the last inspection completed in May 2025. For a family weighing options, the pattern here is steady staffing and a clean inspection history.

0

Allied Services runs its transitional rehab unit with 5.33 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly a third more staffing than the typical American nursing home, and weekends dip only about 6% below weekday levels. That consistency matters, since weekend coverage is where a lot of homes quietly fall apart. Staff turnover sits at 33.3%, well under the national 45.8%, so the people caring for residents tend to stick around. Six deficiencies on the current record, none involving harm or abuse, and a December 2025 inspection that's still recent. It's a nonprofit with 51 beds, which keeps the operation small and lets the staffing numbers actually mean something. Nothing in the record reads as a warning sign.

Roberts Health Centre in North Kingstown runs on 4.80 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter more staffing than the national average, and its weekend coverage dips about 10% below its own weekday levels. Turnover sits at 36.6%, well under the 45.8% national figure, which matters because consistent caregivers tend to know residents' routines. The tradeoff shows up in the inspection record: nine deficiencies, two serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, though none abuse-related, and the last survey was May 2026. That mix of strong staffing and a handful of real problems is what a family should weigh, ask specifically what those two harm-level findings involved and how they were corrected.

Nurse staffing at The Arboretum runs 5.75 hours per resident per day, roughly half again what the typical American nursing home provides, and that holds up on weekends, which dip only about 8% below weekday levels. Staff turnover sits at 37.8%, better than the 45.8% national figure, and the home's last inspection came in November 2025, so nothing in the record is stale. The current file shows three deficiencies, none at the level of harm or jeopardy, though two involve abuse. That combination, steady hands on deck, relatively low turnover, recent scrutiny, is what drives the numbers behind its grade, with the abuse citations the piece worth asking about directly.

Legacy Village Rehabilitation runs 40 certified beds in Taylorsville under for-profit partnership ownership. The staffing picture is the weak spot, CMS gives it one star out of five, and 11 deficiencies sit on the current record, two of them serious enough to involve actual harm or jeopardy. No abuse citations, at least. Staff turnover lands at 32.1%, below the 45.8% national average, and quality measures score four stars against a three-star inspection history. A May 2025 inspection means the record is recent, not stale. What you're weighing here is whether consistently thin staffing outweighs decent clinical numbers and better-than-average retention. For a 40-bed home, ask specifically how many aides are on the floor at night.

Westminster-Canterbury of Richmond runs 4.75 nurse hours per resident day, which is about 23% more than the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips roughly 7% below its own weekday levels, and annual turnover sits at 43.8%, slightly under the national 45.8%, which for a nursing home this size is steadier than most. The health inspection record shows 14 deficiencies, but none at the harm or jeopardy level, and no abuse citations. State surveyors were last in the building in June 2024. As a nonprofit, it isn't working around shareholder returns, and the staffing and quality measure ratings both land at 4 out of 5.

Snyder Nursing Home runs on about 4.53 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 17 percent more than the national average, and its weekend staffing only dips about 12 percent below weekdays, a smaller drop than many homes show. Staff turnover sits at 29.5 percent against a national 45.8, so the people caring for residents tend to stay. Ten deficiencies appear on the current record, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in late October 2025. As a nonprofit with 45 beds, it's small enough that consistent staffing shows up in the numbers.

United Transitional Care Center runs 32 certified beds in Bridgeport under nonprofit corporate ownership, and the staffing numbers are the story here. At 4.41 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 14% above the national average, and weekend staffing holds steady rather than dropping off the way it does at many homes. Staff turnover lands at 33.3% against a national 45.8%, which suggests people stay. Nine deficiencies on record, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in August 2025. Small homes can be uneven, but the federal ratings and the retention figures point the same direction.

Hillview Health Care Center in La Crosse is county-owned, and that shows in how it's run. Nurse staffing runs 4.61 hours per resident day, about 19% above the national average, with a five-out-of-five staffing rating to back it up. Weekend coverage dips roughly 6% below weekday levels, though turnover at 40.7% sits below the national 45.8%, which matters for whether that coverage stays steady. The inspection record is recent, February 2026, and clean where it counts: twelve deficiencies total, none at the harm level and none abuse-related. With 37 beds, this is a small home, and the numbers suggest one that runs tight.

Badger Prairie Hcc is county-owned, and that shows up in the numbers. Nurse staffing runs about 6.13 hours per resident day, roughly 59% above the national average, and weekend coverage only dips about 9% below weekdays, which matters because that's when a lot of homes quietly thin out. Annual turnover sits near 9.7% against a national average of 45.8%, so the people caring for residents tend to stick around. The health inspection rating is 5/5 with the most recent visit in September 2025, though the record does carry 9 deficiencies, including 1 at the harm level and 4 tied to abuse. Quality measures rate a 3/5, the softer spot in an otherwise strong profile.

Harbor Haven runs on county money, and the numbers show it. Nurse staffing sits at 4.31 hours per resident day, about 12% above the national average, with weekends dipping only slightly below weekdays, a gap that's small by industry standards. Staff turnover is 33.3%, well under the national 45.8%, which matters because consistent caregivers learn residents' routines. The inspection record is thin: two deficiencies total, none involving harm or abuse, and the most recent state visit was in April 2025. Quality measures score well too. For a family weighing options in Fond du Lac County, this is a home where the workforce stays and the state hasn't found much to cite.

Lasata Care Center is county-owned, and that shows up in the staffing numbers: 5.73 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 48% above the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips only about 7% below its own weekday level, so care doesn't thin out much on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover sits at 40.8%, better than the national 45.8%. The tradeoff is in the inspection record, 10 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, but five flagged as abuse-related. That's worth asking about directly. The last inspection was January 7, 2026, so the picture is current.
