Mcv Health Care Facilities runs on church-affiliated nonprofit ownership, and the numbers reflect that stability. Nurse staffing sits at 5.60 hours per resident day, roughly 45% above the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage dips only about 12% below weekday levels, a gap that's smaller than what many homes show. Staff turnover is 29.3%, well under the national 45.8%, which matters because consistent caregivers know residents' routines. The inspection record shows 8 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the last visit in November 2023. All three CMS star ratings, health inspection, quality measures, and staffing, come in at 5 out of 5.

Wooster Community Hospital's skilled nursing unit runs on 7.08 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 83% above the national average of 3.86, and its staff turnover sits at 28.6% against a national 45.8%, meaning the people caring for residents tend to stay. Weekend coverage dips about 9% below weekday levels, a gap worth asking about if your family visits mainly on Saturdays. The inspection record is clean where it counts: three deficiencies total, none at the harm level, none abuse-related, with the most recent survey in January 2024. City-owned and small at 22 beds, it pairs that staffing with 5/5 ratings across health inspections, quality measures, and staffing.

Staffing here runs about 5.1 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly a third above the national average, and that holds up on weekends too, weekend coverage dips only about 10% from weekday levels, which is smaller than what many homes show. Annual turnover sits at 26.1% against a national average near 46%, so the people caring for residents tend to stay. The inspection record is thin in the best way: one deficiency total, none involving harm or abuse, from a visit dated February 2026. Put the staffing, retention, and inspection history together and you get a home that looks steady rather than lucky.

Waverly Heights runs on a nonprofit model with 31 certified beds, and the numbers behind its record are worth a closer look. Nurse staffing sits at 7.52 hours per resident day, roughly double the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage holds within about 5% of weekday levels, so families visiting on Saturdays and Sundays aren't walking into a thinner floor. Staff turnover is 16.7%, well under the national 45.8%, which matters because consistent caregivers know the residents. Six deficiencies appear on the current record, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection dated February 2026. All three CMS star categories, health inspections, quality measures, and staffing, come in at five out of five.

Hcc At White Horse Village sits in Newtown Square with 55 certified beds under nonprofit ownership, and the staffing numbers are the story here. At 5.04 nurse hours per resident day, it runs about 31 percent above the national average of 3.86, that's real coverage, not a rounding error. Weekend staffing dips roughly 7 percent below its own weekday level, which is worth knowing if your visits skew toward Saturdays and Sundays. Annual turnover of 23.3 percent sits well under the national 45.8 percent, so the same faces tend to stay. Three deficiencies on record, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection dated April 2026.

Lehigh Valley Hospital Tsu runs on unusually heavy staffing, 6.46 nurse hours per resident day, roughly two-thirds more than the national average, and its workers tend to stay, with turnover at 14.9% against a national 45.8%. Weekend coverage dips about 15% below weekday levels, but the floor stays well above what most homes provide. The caution sits in the inspection record: two deficiencies, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and the most recent survey dates to May 2026, so that record is getting stale. A nonprofit hospital-based unit with strong quality scores and a thin but not clean regulatory history, worth asking what that harm-level finding involved and when surveyors are due back.

Upmc Magee-Womens Hospital Tcu runs just 20 certified beds, which tends to mean staff actually know the residents. The numbers back that up: 6.41 nurse staffing hours per resident day, roughly 66% above the national average, and a 25.8% turnover rate that's well below the 45.8% national figure. Weekend staffing dips about 7% from weekday levels, a modest drop rather than a cliff. Ten deficiencies sit on the current record, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the last inspection in late 2025. As a nonprofit, it answers to a mission rather than shareholders.

Nurse staffing at the Hill at Whitemarsh runs 5.37 hours per resident day, roughly 39 percent above the national average, and weekends dip only about 9 percent below its own weekday level, a modest slide, not the sharp drop many homes show. Staff turnover sits at 31.1 percent against a national 45.8 percent, meaning fewer caregivers are cycling out the door. The current inspection record holds a single deficiency, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, with the most recent survey completed in December 2025. For a 60-bed nonprofit in Lafayette Hill, those three numbers, staffing depth, retention, and a nearly clean inspection history, tell you where the consistency comes from.

Menno Haven runs about 5.76 nursing hours per resident each day, roughly half again the national average of 3.86, and its weekend coverage dips only about 10% below weekday levels. Staff turnover sits at 28.3% against a national 45.8%, which matters over time, familiar aides tend to notice small changes sooner. The inspection record shows 13 deficiencies, none of them at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent visit in August 2025. As a nonprofit, it answers to a board rather than shareholders. Nothing here reads like a place cutting corners on direct care.

Hendrick Skilled Nursing Facility is a small nonprofit home in Abilene, just 20 certified beds, and the staffing numbers are the first thing that stands out. At 9.65 nurse hours per resident day, it runs roughly two and a half times the national average, and even with weekends dipping about 12% below its own weekday level, that floor stays unusually high. Staff turnover sits at 34.3%, well under the national 45.8%. The inspection record is current as of December 2025, with eight deficiencies on file but none at the harm level and none abuse-related. All three CMS star ratings, health inspections, quality measures, and staffing, come in at five out of five.

Rappahannock Westminster Canterbury runs about 4.92 nurse hours per resident day, which is roughly 28% above the national average, and its staff turnover sits at 25.6% against a national 45.8%, that combination is why the numbers look strong here. Weekend staffing does dip about 13% below its weekday level, so ask how that plays out on Saturdays and Sundays. The current record shows 14 deficiencies, one of them at the harm or jeopardy level, with no abuse citations; the last inspection was August 2023, so the picture may be older than you'd like. A 42-bed nonprofit home with that staffing edge and relatively stable workforce is worth a visit, but bring questions about that harm-level finding and what's changed since.

Heron's Key sits in Gig Harbor with just 30 certified beds, and the staffing numbers are the first thing worth noting: 5.75 nurse hours per resident day, roughly half again the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips about 7% below its own weekday level, which is common but still worth asking about. Annual turnover of 29.6% runs well under the 45.8% national figure, so the people caring for residents tend to stay. Inspections tell a mixed story, 19 deficiencies on record, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and a single $15,015 fine. The last inspection was February 2026, so the picture is current.

The home carries 28 deficiencies on its current record, but none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, and its last inspection was in March 2026.

The numbers at Laredo Medical Center are unusually clean for an 18-bed for-profit home. Nurse staffing sits at 6.27 hours per resident day, roughly 62% above the national average, and the staff turnover rate of 30% beats the national figure of 45.8%. Only two deficiencies show on the current record, neither at the harm level and none abuse-related, following an inspection in December 2025. The one soft spot is weekends, when staffing runs about 12% below the home's own weekday level. That's a common pattern, but with this few beds it's worth asking how coverage holds up on a Saturday.

The Methodist Hospital SNF runs 25 certified beds on a church-affiliated nonprofit model, and the staffing numbers reflect that: 10.85 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86. That's not a rounding error, it's roughly triple the typical home, with weekend coverage dipping only about 7% below its own weekday level, so care doesn't thin out when families visit. Staff turnover sits at 25% versus 45.8% nationally, meaning aides and nurses here tend to stay. The current record shows two deficiencies, neither at harm level and none abuse-related, with an inspection dated August 2025. Small, stable, and recently reviewed.

The Legacy At Willow Bend runs on about 5.58 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 45% more staffing than the typical American nursing home. That's the kind of margin that shows up in daily care, and it's backed by a 26.7% annual staff turnover rate, well below the 45.8% national figure, meaning fewer unfamiliar faces. The trade-off: 16 deficiencies on the current record, including one abuse-related citation, though none reached harm or jeopardy level. The most recent inspection was in December 2025, so the picture is current. Weekend staffing dips about 8% below its own weekday level, a small but real gap. Nonprofit ownership, strong inspection and quality ratings, and no harm-level findings round out the record.

Jeanne Jugan Residence runs on 6.49 nurse hours per resident day, roughly two-thirds more staffing than the typical American nursing home, and its weekend coverage barely dips from weekday levels. Staff turnover sits at 17.1% against a national average near 46%, which means aides and nurses are staying long enough to know the residents. The home carries 11 deficiencies on its current record, none at the harm level and one abuse-related, with a May 2025 inspection behind those numbers. It's a small nonprofit of 40 beds where the inspection, quality, and staffing ratings all land at the top of CMS's scale.
