Staff turnover

Providence Point is a small nonprofit home in Pittsburgh, 42 beds, and its staffing is the headline: 4.70 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 22% above the national average, with a 5/5 staffing star. Turnover is the other standout at 17.1%, well under the 45.8% national figure, so the people caring for residents tend to stay. Weekends dip only about 3% below weekday coverage, which is a narrow gap. What pulls the record down is inspection history: 17 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and three tied to abuse, plus a $13,575 fine. The most recent inspection was June 2025, so that record is current. Strong staffing, mixed oversight.

Morningside Manor runs on a non-profit model with 147 beds, and the numbers show a stable operation. Nurse staffing sits at 3.60 hours per resident day, about 7% under the national average, and weekends dip roughly 4% below its own weekday levels, worth knowing if your family visits mostly on Saturdays and Sundays. What stands out is turnover: 15.8% against a national average of 45.8%, which suggests caregivers here tend to stay. The inspection record shows 26 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related. State inspectors were last in on August 7, 2025, so the picture is current.

Memorial Nursing And Rehabilitation Center in Dumas runs on 4.59 total nurse hours per resident day, roughly 19% above the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage drops about 20% from its own weekday level. That gap matters if you're looking at a Saturday admission or a family member who needs help on Sundays. The current record shows five deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, and the last inspection was in June 2025. Hospital district ownership means public accountability rather than a chain's bottom line.

St. Croix Health Center runs on 5.93 nurse hours per resident day, roughly half again the national figure of 3.86, and that staffing depth is the clearest signal in its record. Weekend coverage dips about 7% below its own weekday level, and turnover sits at 46.2%, essentially the national rate, so the consistency behind those hours is worth asking about directly. The county-run home carries 15 deficiencies, none rising to harm or jeopardy, though two are abuse-related, enough to keep its inspection rating at 3 out of 5. Its last inspection was December 2025, so the picture is recent.

Newcare runs 43 beds in Crivitz under individual for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.59 hours per resident day, roughly 7% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 7% below its own weekday coverage, so the thinnest hours tend to land when families often visit. Turnover is the bright spot: 28.2% against a national 45.8%, which suggests a steadier crew than most homes manage. The inspection record is more mixed. Seventeen deficiencies are on file, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse. The last inspection was August 2025, so that picture is recent, not stale.

Baldwin Care Center runs on a nonprofit model with 50 certified beds, and its nurse staffing sits about 10% above the national average at 4.24 hours per resident day. That strength comes with a wrinkle: weekends drop roughly 13% below the home's own weekday coverage, so the care your family member gets on a Saturday may look thinner than on a Tuesday. Staff turnover is 52.3%, higher than the 45.8% national figure, which means familiar faces cycle out faster than average. The inspection record shows 19 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent survey completed in December 2025.

Skaalen runs on more nursing hours than most homes in the country, 4.33 per resident day against a national average of 3.86. Weekend staffing dips about 12% below its own weekday level, which is common but still worth asking about if your family visits on Saturdays. Staff turnover sits at 36.5%, better than the 45.8% national figure, and the home's last inspection was in January 2026, so the record is recent. Eight deficiencies are on file, none at the harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related. The inspection and staffing ratings both come in at 5 out of 5; quality measures land at 3.

Vernon Manor is county-owned, and the staffing reflects that: 4.59 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 19% above the national average. Weekends dip about 8% below weekdays, so ask how coverage holds on Saturdays. Turnover sits at 45.5%, essentially the national rate, which means this building replaces staff as often as most. The tension is in the inspection record. Seventeen deficiencies, including six tied to abuse and one at the harm level, with a $12,649 fine. The most recent inspection was February 2026, so the record is current. Strong staffing and decent quality scores coexist here with serious survey findings, worth asking the administrator directly what changed after that harm citation.

Brewster Village is county-owned, and the staffing reflects that: 5.10 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a third more than the national average, with turnover at 36.6% compared to 45.8% nationally. Weekend coverage dips about 9% below its own weekday level, so ask how that plays out on Sundays. The tradeoff shows up in inspections, 17 deficiencies on record, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse, against a middling three-star inspection score. The most recent visit was April 2026, so the record is current. Strong hands-on care, but the compliance history is the part worth pressing on.

Water's Edge runs a strong staffing operation, 4.50 nurse hours per resident day, about 17% above the national average, and that shows up in its federal staffing rating. Weekends dip roughly 11% below weekday levels, though, so the coverage families see on a Saturday isn't quite the weekday picture. The 51.9% turnover rate sits above the national average of 45.8%, meaning more than half the nursing staff turns over in a year. Five deficiencies appear on the current record, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy; none were abuse-related. Inspectors were last on site in May 2025, and the nonprofit owner has kept quality measures around the middle of the pack.

Park View Health Center is county-owned, and that shows in the staffing: 4.83 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter above the national average, with a five-star staffing rating to match. Turnover sits at 43.9%, slightly better than the national figure, though weekend coverage dips about 8% below weekday levels. Seven deficiencies on record, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, with an inspection in April 2025. The quality measure rating is the weaker spot at three stars, so ask what specific measures are pulling that down.

The record shows 7 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection dated May 21, 2026. Staff turnover sits at 51.4%, higher than the 45.8% national average, which is worth asking about directly. As a nonprofit with 50 certified beds, it carries four out of five stars on health inspections, quality measures, and staffing alike.

Lakeview Health Center in West Salem is county-owned, and the staffing numbers show it: 6.06 nurse hours per resident per day, about 57% above the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage slips only 3% below its own weekday level, so care doesn't thin out much on Saturdays and Sundays. Turnover sits at 39.2%, below the national 45.8%. The tradeoffs are elsewhere. Seven deficiencies on the current record, two of them abuse-related, with no harm-level findings. The quality measure rating is 2 out of 5, which is where the weaker numbers live. Its last inspection was July 16, 2025. For a family weighing direct care hours against regulatory history, the staffing is the strongest case here.

46%
Serious cites

Westward Heights runs leaner than most homes nationally on nurse staffing, 3.73 hours per resident day against a 3.86 average, and weekends pull about 14% below its own weekday coverage, so if you're visiting on a Saturday, expect a thinner floor. Staff turnover sits at 45.8%, essentially matching the national rate, which means nearly half the nursing team turns over in a year. The nine deficiencies on record include one tied to abuse, though none rose to the harm or jeopardy level, and the last state inspection was in March 2025. As a nonprofit with 60 beds, it's small enough that you can ask directly who's on shift and how long they've been there.

Lotus Care Center is a 40-bed for-profit in Los Angeles, and the staffing numbers are the real story here. At 4.16 nurse hours per resident day, it runs about 8% above the national average, and the weekend hours hold steady against weekdays rather than dropping off. That consistency matters more than the raw total. Staff turnover sits at 35.7%, well under the 45.8% national figure, which suggests people are staying. Twenty-four deficiencies on record sounds like a lot until you see none reached harm or jeopardy level and none were abuse-related. Its last inspection was in February 2026, so the picture is current. Inspection, quality, and staffing each came in at 4 of 5 stars.

The Villas At Poway runs on unusually deep nurse staffing, 6.90 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage only dips about 12% below its weekday level, so care doesn't thin out as much when families visit. Staff turnover sits at 11.8% while the national figure is 45.8%, which means the people caring for residents tend to stick around. The tradeoff shows up in its inspection history: 40 deficiencies currently on record, including one at the harm level and three tied to abuse, plus ten fines totaling $57,124. Its last inspection was in May 2025, so the picture is recent. Strong staffing and retention, but the survey record is the thing to ask about directly.

Holiday Manor Care Center runs 94 certified beds in Canoga Park under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing numbers here are genuinely strong: 4.14 nurse hours per resident day, about 7% above the national average, with a 5/5 CMS staffing rating and turnover at 23.3% against a 45.8% national figure. That stability matters. What pulls the picture down is the inspection record, 63 deficiencies, four at harm or jeopardy level, seven tied to abuse, and a 2/5 health inspection rating. Weekend staffing also drops roughly 11% below its own weekday level, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Two fines totaling $18,363 round out the enforcement history.

Nurse staffing at Chapman Global runs 8.45 hours per resident day, more than double the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage barely dips from weekday levels. Staff turnover sits at 21.2 percent against a national average near 46 percent, meaning the people caring for residents tend to stay. The tradeoff shows up in the inspection record: 59 deficiencies, one tied to abuse, though none reached harm or jeopardy level, and a single fine of $4,194. This is a small for-profit home, 27 beds, last inspected in April 2026. The staffing is the story here, steady hands, a thin margin for error on compliance.

Turnover sits at 30% against a national 45.8%, so the people caring for residents tend to stay. The tradeoff shows up in the quality measures, where CMS scores it 2 out of 5, that's the weak spot. Inspections are another story: a 5/5 health inspection rating, last survey in October 2024, with 11 deficiencies on record but none at the harm level and none abuse-related.

Parkway Place runs about 4.32 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 12% above the national average, and its staff turnover of 31% sits well below the 45.8% typical elsewhere, both real strengths. The trade-off shows up in its inspection record: 18 deficiencies, three of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, plus a $45,741 fine. The last inspection was recent, in May 2025. With 42 beds and nonprofit ownership, this is a small home where consistent staffing helps, but the harm-level findings and the fine are the kind of thing worth asking about directly before you decide.
