Green Pine Acres is city-owned, which is unusual, and it shows in the staffing numbers. At 4.77 nurse hours per resident per day, it runs about a quarter above the national average, and its staff actually stick around, 30.4% turnover against a national 45.8% means fewer unfamiliar faces on the floor. Weekends do thin out, roughly 17% below weekday coverage, so that's worth asking about directly. Seven deficiencies sit on the current record with none at the harm level, though two are abuse-related, and the last inspection was in January 2026. The quality measure score is the soft spot; staffing and inspections are where this home is strongest.

Golden Age runs a leaner ship than most. At 4.74 nurse hours per resident day, it beats the national average by roughly 23%, and its 26.9% turnover sits well below the 45.8% norm, a sign that caregivers tend to stay. Weekends thin out about 17% from weekday coverage, so ask how that gap gets managed. Sixteen deficiencies on record, none at harm or jeopardy level, though two are abuse-related; that's worth a direct question. The last inspection was November 2024. A three-star inspection and quality score with five-star staffing suggests a home carried by its floor staff. Nonprofit ownership means no shareholder pressure, which often shows up in exactly this pattern.

Madison Medical Center is county-owned, and its 4.10 nurse hours per resident day sits about 6% above the national average, with a five-star staffing rating to back it up. Turnover runs 38.3%, noticeably better than the 45.8% national figure, so the people caring for residents tend to stay. Five deficiencies on record, none involving harm or abuse, and the last inspection was recent. The one thing to ask about: weekend staffing drops roughly 19% below weekday levels, so visit on a Saturday if you can.

Powder River Manor runs on county money in a town of a few hundred people, and the staffing numbers show it: 5.32 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 38% above the national average, with turnover at 39.3% against a national 45.8%. Weekend coverage does dip about 18% below weekdays, so ask how that plays out on a Sunday. The record isn't clean, 25 deficiencies, including 2 at harm or jeopardy level and 3 tied to abuse, plus three fines totaling $52,551. Its last inspection was April 2026, so the picture is current. Strong staffing and quality marks sit alongside a citation history worth reading closely.

Memorial Community Care runs on a nonprofit model with 48 certified beds in Aurora, and the staffing numbers are the story here: 4.68 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 21% above the national average, with a five-star CMS staffing rating to match. Turnover sits at 28.3% against a national average of 45.8%, which matters more than any single inspection score, consistent caregivers know the residents. Weekend coverage dips about 16% below weekday levels, worth asking about directly. The inspection record shows 10 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related, and the most recent survey was in February 2026. Quality measures come in at three stars, softer than the staffing picture.

Shady Lane Gloucester County Home runs 5.85 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly half again what the typical U.S. nursing home provides, and that staffing holds up on weekends better than most places, about 7% below its own weekday level. Inspectors have cited eight deficiencies on the current record, none causing harm or jeopardy, though one is abuse-related; the last survey was September 5, 2025, so the record is recent. County ownership is worth knowing about here. The weaker spot is staffing consistency as CMS measures it, which scores lower than the inspection and quality results despite the high raw hours.

The Arbor At Laurel Circle runs on a for-profit LLC model with 64 certified beds in Bridgewater, and the numbers behind its grade are mostly working in its favor. Nurse staffing sits at 4.55 hours per resident day, roughly 18% above the national average, and staff turnover of 31.1% is well below the 45.8% national figure, which matters for whether you see the same faces on repeat visits. Weekend coverage, though, drops about 16% below its own weekday level, so ask how that plays out on Saturdays and Sundays. The inspection record is recent (January 2026) with 21 deficiencies, including one at harm level and two abuse-related, plus a single $25,857 fine.

St Catherine Laboure runs on 4.30 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 11% above the national average, and its staff tends to stay, 33% turnover against a national 45.8%. The tradeoff shows up on weekends, when coverage drops about 17% below the home's own weekday level, so ask how that plays out on the floor. State inspectors visited in February 2026 and logged eight deficiencies, none causing harm or jeopardy, though three were abuse-related, worth asking about directly, since those can reflect reporting and screening issues rather than incidents. Church-affiliated and nonprofit, 80 beds. Strong inspection and staffing marks, with a few specific questions worth raising.

Staff turnover sits at 32.3 percent against a national average of 45.8 percent, which suggests people tend to stay.

Nc State Veterans Home - Salisbury runs on strong staffing: 4.79 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter above the national average, and a five-out-of-five staffing rating to match. But weekends dip about 20% below the home's own weekday coverage, and the inspection record is thinner, a two-out-of-five health inspection rating, 17 deficiencies including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse, plus a $12,444 fine. Staff turnover at 43.9% is a touch better than the national average, and the most recent inspection came in December 2025. State-run ownership here buys generous weekday staffing, not a clean survey history.

Hill Top Home of Comfort has a staffing story worth noticing: 4.33 nurse hours per resident day, well above the national average, with weekend coverage dipping about 18% below its own weekday levels. Turnover sits at 33.3%, better than the national 45.8%, which suggests people stay. The trouble is inspection history. Seven deficiencies on record, three serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, three tied to abuse, and one fine totaling $198,960, a significant penalty for a 60-bed nonprofit. That combination, strong daily care numbers paired with serious regulatory findings, is what pulls the overall picture down toward average. The most recent inspection was August 2025, so the record is current.

Holy Family Home runs on 6.00 nurse staffing hours per resident day, roughly 55% above the national average of 3.86, and that staffing margin shows up in the CMS star ratings, where it earns 5/5. Weekend coverage dips only about 3% below weekday levels, so care doesn't thin out much when families tend to visit. The health inspection record is solid at 4/5, with four deficiencies total, none abuse-related. One of those four did rise to the harm or jeopardy level, which is worth asking about directly. The most recent inspection closed April 2, 2026. With 18 certified beds under nonprofit ownership, this is a small home with a strong staffing and quality profile and just that one inspection concern to weigh.

Meadville Medical Ctr Tcu runs 32 certified beds inside a hospital system, which helps explain the staffing figure: 10.84 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 2.8 times the national average. That's an unusual number, and it's backed by a four-star staffing rating and a five-star quality measure score. Weekend coverage dips about 11% below weekdays, so if you're planning visits or asking about a Saturday concern, know that the floor runs leaner then. The inspection record shows 7 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related and worth asking about directly. Three fines totaling $7,172 is modest. The last survey was November 2025, so the record is recent.

Nurse staffing at Tockwotton On The Waterfront runs 4.86 hours per resident day, roughly a quarter above the national average, and the weekend drop of about 16% is worth asking about directly, that's when families tend to visit and notice. Staff turnover sits at 29.1%, well under the national 45.8%, which matters because consistent caregivers learn residents' routines. The trade-off shows in the inspection record: 12 deficiencies, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and a single fine of $8,628. That one harm-level finding is the number to press the administrator on, what happened, and what changed afterward.

C M Tucker Jr Nursing Care Center, the state-run home in Columbia, runs its nursing hours well above what most homes manage, about 66% more direct nurse time per resident than the national average, and its staff tends to stay, with turnover roughly a quarter lower than typical. That's real. But look at the inspection record and a different picture shows up: six deficiencies on file, three of them serious enough to put residents in harm's way, two tied to abuse, plus nearly $60,000 in fines and a health inspection rating near the bottom. The last full look was April 2025. The quality and staffing scores don't cancel out what inspectors found.

Clarkson Health Care runs on 4.20 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 9% above the national average, and its staff turnover of 34% sits well below the 45.8% norm, two signs of a stable, adequately covered floor. The catch is weekends, when staffing drops about 18% below its own weekday level, so care may look different on a Saturday than a Tuesday. Six deficiencies on record include one at the harm level, though none involve abuse, and the most recent inspection came in July 2025. As a nonprofit with 49 beds, it has the size and structure to keep an eye on those weekend gaps.

Pavilion-Ths runs 4.40 nurse hours per resident day, about 14% above the national average of 3.86, and its weekend staffing dips roughly 17% below its own weekday level, a gap worth asking about if your family visits or calls on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover sits at 25%, well under the 45.8% national figure, so the people caring for residents tend to stay. The current record shows 8 deficiencies, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in March 2025. It's a for-profit LLC with 60 certified beds, and its federal ratings land at 4 out of 5 on health inspections and quality measures, 5 out of 5 on staffing.

Southampton Memorial Hosp runs on a church-affiliated nonprofit model, and the staffing numbers back up that mission. At 4.01 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 4% above the national average, and its 31.6% turnover is well below the 45.8% typical elsewhere, that kind of retention usually means consistent caregivers who know the residents. The trade-off shows up on weekends, when staffing drops roughly 15% from weekday levels. On inspections, the home has a 4/5 health rating and 4/5 on quality measures, with 19 deficiencies on record, none at harm level, though two are abuse-related, which families should ask about directly.

Sunnyside Presbyterian runs on 4.65 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a fifth more staffing than the typical American nursing home. That's the number that drives most of what's good here. Weekend coverage dips about 17% below weekday levels, so ask how that plays out on a Saturday night. Staff turnover sits at 41.8%, a few points better than the national 45.8%, which suggests people stay longer than average. Five deficiencies on record, none at harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related and worth asking about directly. The last inspection was March 2026, and a 5/5 health inspection rating with 5/5 quality measures is hard to get and usually means the basics are handled.
