Staff turnover

Apex Rehabilitation & Care Center runs 195 certified beds in Huntington Station under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers tell a mixed story. Nurse staffing sits at 3.69 hours per resident day, roughly 5% under the national average, and weekends drop about 10% below its own weekday level, so coverage thins out when families tend to visit. Turnover is the bright spot at 31.4%, well below the national 45.8%, which suggests a steadier workforce than most. The tradeoff shows up in inspections: a 2/5 health inspection rating and 31 deficiencies on record, including four tied to abuse, though none rose to harm or jeopardy. Last inspected April 2025. Quality and staffing measures look strong; the survey history is what pulls it down.

Crouse Community Center runs on a nonprofit model with 120 certified beds in Morrisville, and its staffing is the clearest strength: 4.01 nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the national average, with weekend coverage dipping only slightly below weekdays. Staff turnover sits at 26.4%, well under the 45.8% national figure, which matters for continuity of care. The tradeoffs show up elsewhere. Inspectors cited 13 deficiencies on the current record, two tied to abuse, though none rose to harm or jeopardy. State surveyors last visited in January 2025, and the health inspection and quality measure ratings both land mid-range at three stars.

Parker Jewish Institute runs 527 certified beds as a nonprofit corporation, and its staffing sits at 3.81 nurse hours per resident day, just under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 15% below its own weekday coverage, which is the kind of gap families notice when a Saturday question goes unanswered. What stands out more is retention: 28.8% annual turnover against a national 45.8%, meaning the people caring for residents tend to stay. Inspections back that up, six deficiencies on record, none causing harm, one abuse-related, with the most recent visit in April 2025 and top marks on both health inspection and quality measures.

Cobble Hill Health Center runs 364 certified beds as a nonprofit in Brooklyn, and its strongest numbers are in care quality, where federal measures rate it at the top. Staffing is the tradeoff: 3.40 nurse hours per resident day sits about 12% under the national average, and weekends run roughly 9% lighter than weekdays, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover works in its favor at 33.8%, well below the 45.8% national figure, which suggests a steadier workforce than most. Inspections in February 2024 turned up 22 deficiencies, none causing harm or jeopardy, though three were abuse-related, worth asking about directly.

Dry Harbor runs about 3.88 nursing hours per resident per day, which puts it essentially right at the national average of 3.86, not a standout, just steady. What's more telling is staff retention: turnover sits at 28.7%, well under the 45.8% national figure, so the people caring for residents tend to stick around. Inspections back that up, with a 4/5 health inspection rating, 16 deficiencies on record and none rising to harm or jeopardy, though two are abuse-related and worth asking about directly. Weekend staffing dips roughly 8% below weekday levels, a common pattern but still a real gap. A 2025 inspection means the record is current.

United Hebrew runs 4.06 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 5% above the national average, though weekends dip about 6% below its own weekday staffing. The standout number is turnover: 18.3% against a national average near 46%, which matters because consistent caregivers know the residents. Inspections in October 2023 turned up 10 deficiencies, none at the level of actual harm, but two tied to abuse, worth asking about directly. The four- and five-star federal ratings on health inspections, quality measures, and staffing all point the same direction, and nonprofit ownership tends to mean the margin goes back into the building rather than to investors.

0

Ditmas Park Care Center runs on 4.63 nurse hours per resident day, about 20% above the national average, and staff turnover sits at 22.8%, roughly half the national rate. Both matter more than a single inspection day, since consistent hands on deck usually mean residents' needs get noticed. The tradeoff shows up on weekends, when coverage drops about 11% below the home's own weekday level. The record is clean where it counts. Seven deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related, and the last inspection was August 2024. This is a for-profit limited liability company with 200 beds, and the low turnover rate suggests workers stay, which tends to keep care steadier across shifts.

Iredell Memorial Hospital's nursing home unit in Statesville runs on unusually heavy staffing: 6.17 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 60% above the national average, with a five-star staffing rating and a five-star health inspection record. The current file shows just three deficiencies, none causing harm or involving abuse, and the most recent inspection was in March 2026, a current, clean picture. The caveats are real but modest. Weekend coverage dips about 14% below weekday levels, and annual turnover sits at 51.6%, above the 45.8% national figure, so continuity of caregivers isn't a given. Quality measures land at three stars, mid-range. For families weighing a nonprofit hospital-based unit, the inspection and staffing numbers carry the weight here.

Salemtowne runs on unusually heavy staffing for a nursing home: 5.72 nurse hours per resident day, roughly half again the national figure of 3.86. That margin matters most on weekends, when coverage dips only about 5% below its own weekday level, so care doesn't thin out the way it does at many homes. Staff turnover sits at 38.5%, below the 45.8% national average, which suggests people tend to stay. Four deficiencies on the current record, none causing harm and none abuse-related, with a December 2025 inspection, means surveyors found nothing serious and looked recently. The nonprofit ownership and a 4 out of 5 on health inspections round out a record without red flags.

Hennis Care Centre Of Dover runs 120 certified beds as an individual for-profit, and the staffing picture is mixed. Nurses provide 3.46 hours per resident day, roughly 10% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends run about 12% thinner than weekdays, worth asking about if your family visits mainly on Saturdays and Sundays. Turnover sits at 33.9%, well below the 45.8% national figure, so the aides and nurses you meet are more likely to still be there next year. The 46 deficiencies on record include none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with two fines totaling $15,820, and the most recent inspection was April 17, 2025.

Willow Brook runs on a non-profit model with 50 beds in Columbus, and its staffing numbers are genuinely strong, 4.03 nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the national average, though weekends drop roughly 12% below its own weekday coverage. Turnover sits at 38.9%, better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for consistency of care. The catch is the inspection record: 25 deficiencies on file, including one at the harm level and four tied to abuse. That's a real gap between how the place is staffed and how it's been cited. The last inspection was April 2026, so the record is current. Quality and staffing measures look good; the survey history is where the caution lives.

Belmont Manor runs 57 beds under corporate ownership in St. Clairsville, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.03 hours per resident day, roughly 4% above the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 13% below weekday coverage, and turnover lands at 40.7%, which is actually better than the 45.8% national figure. The inspection record shows 30 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, but one is abuse-related, so ask about that directly. Its last inspection was March 3, 2026, and the quality measure rating comes in at 5 out of 5. The staffing and quality numbers look solid; the deficiency count and that single abuse flag are what a family should press on.

Center for Rehabilitation at Hampton Woods runs 26 certified beds in Poland, Ohio, under individual for-profit ownership. The staffing numbers are the real story here: 5.42 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 40% above the national average of 3.86, with weekend coverage dipping only about 7% below weekday levels, a smaller drop than many homes show. Turnover sits at 45.7%, essentially identical to the national figure. The health inspection record shows 11 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection dated December 31, 2025. Quality measures rate well and staffing rates at the top of CMS's scale. A small building with above-average direct care and no serious safety findings on its record.

At The King's Daughters & Sons Nursing Home in Durant, staffing is the standout: 4.48 nurse hours per resident day, about 16% above the national average, with a five-star CMS staffing rating. Turnover sits at 31.6%, well below the national 45.8%, meaning the people caring for residents tend to stick around. Weekend coverage dips roughly 15% from weekday levels, worth asking about. The concerns are on the inspection side: 18 deficiencies on record, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, plus a $15,249 fine. A June 2025 inspection is recent. Corporate, for-profit ownership. Strong staffing, but the inspection record is where you'd want to ask questions.

University Village in Tulsa runs 4.36 nurse hours per resident per day, about 13% more than the national average, and enough for a top federal staffing rating. Weekend coverage dips roughly 10% below its own weekday levels, so ask how that plays out on a Saturday. Staff turnover sits at 48.1%, slightly worse than the 45.8% national figure. Inspections in December 2024 turned up 15 deficiencies, none involving harm or abuse, which is why the health inspection rating lands mid-range at 3 out of 5 while quality measures score 4. It's for-profit, LLC-owned, 80 beds. Solid staffing carries this one; the inspection record is the soft spot.

Rainbow Terrace runs lean on nursing hours, 3.32 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and CMS's own staffing rating lands at 1 out of 5. That shortfall hasn't come with heavy turnover, though; at 43.3% it's slightly better than the national 45.8%, and weekend coverage actually runs a bit above the home's weekday level. What pulls the record down is the inspection side: 32 deficiencies, three of them at harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, plus a $60,140 fine and a 2/5 inspection rating, with the most recent survey from January 2025. The quality measure score of 4/5 is the bright spot. Corporate-owned, 60 beds.

Marquis Autumn Hills runs on unusually steady staffing for a for-profit memory care home, 4.65 nurse hours per resident day, about a fifth more than the national average, and turnover of 23.7% against a national 45.8%. That retention matters in dementia care, where familiarity with residents is half the job. Weekends dip roughly 8% below weekday coverage, so ask how that plays out on a Sunday. The record isn't spotless: 15 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and three tied to abuse. Inspectors were last in on February 27, 2026, and the home scored 4 of 5 on health inspections but 5 of 5 on quality measures and staffing. The weak spot sits in the inspection history, not the day-to-day numbers.

Luther Crest runs on 4.42 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 14% above the national average, and that staffing shows up in the weekend numbers too, weekends dip only about 9% below weekdays, which is milder than what many homes manage. The tradeoff is retention: turnover sits at 48.3%, a bit above the national 45.8%, so the staffing depth comes with a steady churn of faces. On the inspection side, the record is clean where it matters, seven deficiencies total, none at harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related, and the last survey was recent. Quality measures land at 4 of 5 stars. For a 60-bed nonprofit, the weak spot isn't care, it's keeping the people who deliver it.

Lgar Health and Rehabilitation runs 60 certified beds in Turtle Creek under nonprofit ownership, and its inspection record is the strongest part of the story: a 4-out-of-5 health inspection rating, last surveyed in October 2024, with nine deficiencies on file and none involving actual harm or jeopardy. Two of those deficiencies are abuse-related, which is worth asking about directly. Staffing is the softer spot, 3.68 total nurse hours per resident day sits about 5% under the national average, and weekends run roughly 6% thinner than weekdays. Annual turnover of 34% beats the 45.8% national figure, so the people who are there tend to stay.

Bradford Ecumenical is a 100-bed nonprofit in McKean County, and the numbers back up its reputation. Nurse staffing runs about 4.20 hours per resident day, roughly 9% above the national average, though weekends dip about 14% below what the home provides on weekdays, so ask how that gap gets covered. Staff turnover sits at 32.7%, well below the national 45.8%, which suggests people stay. The health inspection record is clean: two deficiencies total, none at the harm level, none abuse-related, and the last inspection was in July 2025. For a family weighing options, that combination, low turnover, recent inspection, no harm-level findings, is a solid, unglamorous picture.
