Nurse hours
8.73 /day
Staff turnover
12%
Serious cites
0

O'Connor Hospital's skilled nursing unit is small, 24 beds, and county-run, which tends to mean steadier staffing than the for-profit average, and the numbers bear that out. Nurse staffing sits at 8.73 hours per resident day, well over twice the national figure, and weekend coverage only dips about 10% below weekdays instead of falling off a cliff. Staff turnover is 11.5% against a national 45.8%, so the people caring for residents largely stay put. The tradeoff is paperwork: 23 deficiencies on the current record, though none rose to harm or jeopardy and none involved abuse, and the last inspection was recent, in August 2025.

Pih Health Good Samaritan's skilled nursing unit runs on unusually heavy staffing, 10.60 nurse hours per resident day, roughly two and a half times the national figure. Weekend coverage dips about 11% below its own weekday level, which is worth asking about if your family visits on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover sits at 29.3%, better than the 45.8% national average, and the last inspection was recent, in December 2025. The inspection record shows 22 deficiencies with none at the harm level, though one is abuse-related, and the quality measure score is weaker than the staffing and inspection scores. Nonprofit ownership, 28 beds.

Shinnery Oaks runs on nurse staffing of 5.19 hours per resident day, about a third more than the national average, and it shows in the metrics: five stars for staffing, five for health inspections, four for quality measures. Weekend coverage dips only modestly below weekdays, so care doesn't thin out as much as it does at many homes. Staff turnover sits at 39.7%, better than the national figure, which matters for whether residents see the same faces. The caution is in the record: ten deficiencies, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and a $26,120 fine. County-owned, sixty beds, inspected as recently as December 2025.

The Legacy Midtown Park in Dallas runs a tight ship on the things that matter most: 5.71 nurse staffing hours per resident day, roughly half again the national average, with weekend coverage dipping only about 9% below weekdays. Staff turnover sits at 33.3% against a national 45.8%, so the people caring for residents tend to stay. Inspections back that up, the most recent, in September 2025, produced six deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, though one was abuse-related. Four fines totaling $27,523 have accumulated on the record. As a nonprofit with 54 beds, it's small enough that problems don't hide easily, and the inspection history suggests few serious ones have.

Ozark Health runs a nonprofit home in Clinton with 118 certified beds, and the numbers behind it hold up. Nurse staffing sits at 4.27 hours per resident day, about 11% above the national average, and the 31.9% turnover rate is well below the 45.8% national figure, a sign people stay. Weekend staffing drops roughly 18% from weekday levels, so coverage thins out on Saturdays and Sundays. The home has 13 deficiencies on its current record, none rising to harm or jeopardy, though two are abuse-related, which is worth asking about directly. Its last inspection was April 17, 2025, and it earned 4 out of 5 stars on health inspections, quality measures, and staffing.

Arkansas Health Center is state-run and large, with 290 certified beds in Benton. Its nurse staffing sits at 6.14 hours per resident day, roughly 59% above the national average, and it holds five stars in both staffing and health inspections, with eleven deficiencies on record and none at the harm or jeopardy level. Turnover runs 38.8%, better than the 45.8% national figure but still meaning more than a third of staff leaving each year. The catch is weekends, when hours drop about 15% below the weekday level. With a May 2025 inspection and no abuse citations, the record is clean and recent. Families should ask how weekend coverage is actually staffed, because that gap is where the risk usually lives.

Hazel Hawkins runs on a hospital district's budget, and the numbers show where the money goes: nurse staffing at 4.31 hours per resident per day, about 12% above the national average, with a 5-star staffing rating to match. Turnover sits at 13.3% against a national average of 45.8%, that kind of retention is rare and usually means residents see the same faces. The catch is weekends, when coverage drops roughly 15% below the home's own weekday level. Inspections turned up 28 deficiencies, one abuse-related, though none at the harm or jeopardy level, and the last visit was September 2025.

Nurse staffing at Helen Bernardy Center runs about 7.89 hours per resident day, roughly double the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip only about 7 percent below its own weekday levels, so coverage stays fairly steady rather than thinning out when families tend to visit. The health inspection record shows 13 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection dated March 2026. It's a government hospital-district home with 43 certified beds, and its quality measure and health inspection ratings both sit at the top of CMS's scale. The staffing rating is one notch lower, which is worth asking about directly if you tour.

Canterbury Towers is putting more nurses in the building than most homes can claim, 6.09 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86. That staffing depth shows up in its five-star staffing rating, and it matters most on weekends, when hours dip about 16% below the home's own weekday pace, which is typical but still worth knowing if your visits fall on Saturdays or Sundays. The inspection record is clean where it counts: six deficiencies total, none involving harm or jeopardy, none related to abuse, and the most recent state visit was in July 2025. Turnover sits at 42.3%, a touch better than the national rate. For a 60-bed nonprofit in Tampa, the numbers describe steady, well-staffed care rather than anything flashy.

Georgia Regional Atlanta Ltc runs on state government ownership in Decatur, and its nurse staffing sits at 5.15 hours per resident day, roughly a third above the national average of 3.86. That said, weekends drop about 15% below its own weekday coverage, so care can thin out when families visit. The current record shows 10 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, though none involve abuse. Inspectors were last on site September 18, 2025. Its quality measure rating is perfect at 5/5 while health inspections land at 2/5, a split worth asking about directly.

St. Luke's Regional Medical Center SNF is a 20-bed nonprofit unit in Sioux City, and the staffing numbers are the first thing that stand out. At 10.85 nurse hours per resident day, it runs far above the national average of 3.86, that's not a rounding difference, it's a different model of care. Weekend staffing dips about 7% below its own weekday level, worth knowing if you'll be visiting Saturdays and Sundays. On the regulatory side, the record is clean where it counts: three deficiencies total, none at the harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related, and the last inspection was July 2025. Ownership changed within the past year, so ask how that's affected day-to-day operations.

Regent Park runs on more nursing hours than most homes, 4.70 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and its inspection record backs that up, with a five-star health inspection rating and a recent survey in February 2026 that turned up no deficiencies causing harm or jeopardy, and none related to abuse. The 15 deficiencies on file are the ordinary kind, not the alarming kind. Weekend staffing dips about 15% below its own weekday level, and turnover sits at 48.9%, a bit above the national 45.8%, so consistency of caregivers is worth asking about directly.

Cumbernauld Village runs on 5.81 nurse hours per resident day, roughly half again the national figure of 3.86, and weekends dip only about 15% below its own weekday coverage, smaller than what many homes show. The nonprofit's 42.6% turnover sits slightly under the 45.8% national rate, and its last inspection, in April 2026, produced 10 deficiencies with none at harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related. A five-star health inspection and five-star staffing rating carry the record; the three-star quality measure rating and that abuse citation are the parts worth asking about directly before you decide.

The Hebrew Rehabilitation Center's Recuperative Services Unit runs 50 certified beds under nonprofit ownership in Boston, and its nurse staffing sits at 5.02 hours per resident day, roughly 30% above the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips about 8% below its own weekday levels, so the weekday-to-weekend difference is worth asking about if your family member needs consistent attention on Saturdays and Sundays. The home carries 12 deficiencies on its current record, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, and its last inspection was in July 2025. Quality measures score 5 out of 5 stars, health inspections 4 out of 5, staffing 3 out of 5.

Newbridge On The Charles runs 4.56 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 18% above the national average of 3.86, and that staffing edge holds up on weekends, which dip only about 8% below the home's own weekday level. The inspection record is thin in the best sense: one deficiency total, none at harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related, with the last survey dated May 2026. Staffing earns four stars rather than five, so this isn't a home coasting on reputation; it's a nonprofit with a clean record and above-average coverage that loses a little ground on weekends. For families comparing options in Norfolk County, the numbers here are steady rather than spectacular.

Bishop Noa Home runs on strong staffing for a nonprofit in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, 5.05 nurse hours per resident day, about a third more than the national average, though weekends dip roughly 12% below its own weekday pace. The tradeoff sits in its inspection history: 23 deficiencies on record, including two tied to abuse, none rising to actual harm or jeopardy. Inspectors were last in on April 29, 2026, so the record is current rather than stale. CMS gives it middle marks for health inspections and better ones for quality measures and staffing. What you're weighing is a well-staffed building with a longer-than-ideal citation list, not a clean slate.

The Episcopal Church Home of Minnesota has an unusual split in its record: 5.43 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 41 percent above the national average, and a staffing rating to match. Quality measures also score well. The problem is inspections, 36 deficiencies on the current record, including three at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse. That combination of strong daily staffing with serious inspection findings is worth asking about directly. Weekend coverage runs about 10 percent thinner than weekdays, so care may look different on a Saturday. Nonprofit ownership doesn't erase the pattern in those deficiency counts.

Barrett Care Center runs on 4.99 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 29% above the national average, which is the main reason its staffing rating sits at the top of CMS's scale. Weekend coverage drops about 17% from weekday levels, so ask how that plays out on Saturdays and Sundays. The inspection record is clean where it matters: four deficiencies total, none causing harm or jeopardy, none tied to abuse, with the most recent survey in June 2025. Staff turnover at 39.2% is better than the 45.8% national figure, no small thing in a 40-bed rural home. Corporate for-profit ownership, average quality measures, strong staffing, and recent inspections, that combination is what's behind the grade.

The state-run Veterans Home in Minneapolis carries 341 beds and a nurse staffing level of 6.21 hours per resident day, roughly 61% above the national average of 3.86. That's a genuinely high figure, though weekend coverage drops about 11% below its own weekday pace. On its current record: 21 deficiencies, with 2 at the harm or jeopardy level and 1 flagged as abuse-related. The last inspection was April 2025, recent enough to reflect present conditions. High staffing is a real strength here, but the harm-level and abuse-related findings are the kind that matter more than any average. The quality measure rating of 4 out of 5 tracks with better clinical outcomes, yet the deficiency history is what pulls the overall picture down.

Traverse Care Center runs on 4.10 nurse hours per resident day, about 6% above the national average, and the weekend gap is real but modest at roughly 9%. Eight deficiencies sit on the current record with none at harm or jeopardy level, though one abuse-related finding is worth asking about directly. State inspectors were last in on January 14, 2026, so the picture is recent. The church-affiliated nonprofit ownership and a 44-bed size tend to mean less staff churn than corporate chains, and the staffing and quality measure ratings both come back strong.
