Nurse hours

Staff turnover
39%
Serious cites
0

Pines of Dekalb runs on thinner nurse staffing than most homes, 3.50 hours per resident day, roughly 9 percent under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 12 percent below the home's own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. Turnover is the better story: 38.8 percent leaving annually against a national 45.8 percent, which suggests a steadier crew than average. Seven deficiencies sit on the current record, none causing harm and none abuse-related, and the last inspection was August 2025. The low-harm citation record and strong quality measures explain why this for-profit corporate home scores well despite the light staffing.

Mulberry Health & Rehabilitation Center runs 159 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its last inspection closed out in June 2025 with ten deficiencies on record, none of them tied to harm, jeopardy, or abuse. That's a clean paper trail, which lines up with the top marks it earns on both health inspections and quality measures. Staffing is where the picture softens: 3.47 nurse hours per resident day sits about 10% under the national average, weekends dip roughly 8% below its own weekdays, and the staffing star comes in at 3 out of 5. Turnover at 33.1% is actually well below the national 45.8%, so the people who are there tend to stay.

Park Place runs on a nonprofit model with 49 beds in Mount Pleasant, and the staffing numbers stand out: 5.31 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86. That's roughly a third more hands-on time than most homes, though weekends dip about 12% below its own weekday level, so coverage isn't perfectly even. Turnover sits at 51.9%, higher than the 45.8% national figure, which means new faces cycle through fairly often. The record shows 13 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, but two tied to abuse, worth asking about directly. Inspectors last visited in May 2025.

Pleasant View runs about 4.34 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 12% above the national average, and its staff turnover of 39% comes in under the 45.8% national figure, two real strengths in a 70-bed for-profit building. The catch is consistency: weekend staffing drops about 13% below its own weekday level, so the care you'd see on a Tuesday isn't guaranteed on a Sunday. Twelve deficiencies sit on the current record, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the last inspection in July 2025. Solid numbers overall, worth a visit on a weekend to see the difference for yourself.

Ruthven Community Care Center runs 46 certified beds as a nonprofit, and its recent inspection history is genuinely clean for a home this size, six deficiencies on record, none of them causing harm or jeopardy, and the last survey closed out in October 2025. The tradeoff sits in the daily staffing numbers: 3.33 nurse hours per resident, roughly 14% under the national average, and weekends drop about another 10% below the home's own weekday level. Turnover at 35% is better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for consistency of care. The quality and inspection ratings both land at 4 out of 5.

Savannah Heights runs 50 beds in Mount Pleasant under corporate for-profit ownership, and its last inspection was in August 2025, recent enough that the record reflects how the home operates now. Nurse staffing sits at 3.85 hours per resident day, essentially level with the national average of 3.86, though weekends run about 15% thinner than weekdays. Turnover is 47.4% against a national 45.8%, so a meaningful share of caregivers are still new to the building. The 16 deficiencies on file include one abuse-related citation, but none rose to harm or jeopardy, and the inspection and quality ratings both land at 4 of 5.

Lakeview Village runs on a nonprofit model with 158 certified beds in Lenexa, and its nurse staffing sits at 5.86 hours per resident day, roughly half again the national average of 3.86. That staffing depth is real, and it holds up reasonably on weekends, dipping only about 6% from weekday levels. Turnover lands at 41.1%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure. What pulls the record down is inspection history: 26 deficiencies on file, two of them serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy, plus two fines totaling $35,619. The most recent inspection was April 22, 2026. Strong staffing, middling inspections, that's the tradeoff here.

Wellsville Manor runs 51 certified beds under corporate ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.72 hours per resident day, roughly 22% above the national average of 3.86, which is a real cushion, though weekends dip about 10% below its own weekday levels. Turnover lands at 45.7%, essentially identical to the national 45.8%, so retention here is neither a strength nor a problem. The current record shows 18 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, but one is abuse-related, which is worth asking about directly. Its last inspection was May 2026, so the picture is recent.

Buhler Sunshine Home runs on church-affiliated nonprofit ownership, and the numbers show a home that's well staffed but not without paperwork problems. At 5.22 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 35% above the national average, and weekend coverage barely dips, roughly 6% below its own weekday level, which is a small gap. Staff turnover of 32.9% also beats the national 45.8%, meaning aides and nurses tend to stick around longer here than at most places. The tradeoffs: 15 deficiencies on the current record, though none involved actual harm or abuse, and the most recent inspection was February 2025. Quality measure scores came in at 2 out of 5, which is the weakest part of the picture.

Lincoln Park Manor runs a lean but well-staffed ship: 4.33 nurse hours per resident day, about 12% above the national average, with weekend coverage holding steady within 3% of weekdays. Turnover sits at 31.9% against a national 45.8%, which matters for consistency of care. The concerns show up elsewhere. Thirty-seven deficiencies on the current record, none at harm or jeopardy level, but four tied to abuse, and a quality measure rating of 1 out of 5 suggest the clinical outcomes don't match the staffing picture. The last inspection was August 2025, so the record is recent. As a nonprofit with 36 beds, it's small enough that one bad stretch shows up fast in the numbers.

The Wheatlands runs a lean nonprofit shop in Kingman with 54 beds, and the numbers that matter most here are on the staffing side. At 4.51 nurse hours per resident day, it's running about 17% above the national average, and its staff turnover of 36.5% sits well under the 45.8% national figure, that combination usually means people stay, and residents see familiar faces. Weekend coverage dips roughly 9% from weekday levels, which is worth asking about directly. The inspection record shows 11 deficiencies with nothing at the harm level and no abuse findings, and the most recent survey was in December 2024, so the picture is current.

Treyton Oak Towers runs 4.03 nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the national average of 3.86, though weekend coverage drops about 11% below what the home staffs on weekdays. Staff retention looks solid at 34.7% turnover against a 45.8% national figure. The problem sits on the inspection side: 28 deficiencies on the current record, four serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy, six tied to abuse, and a $16,724 fine. CMS gave the health inspection domain 1 out of 5 stars. That gap between steady staffing and a troubled inspection history is what pulls the overall picture down, despite a July 2025 inspection and the nonprofit ownership.

Kingsbrook Lifecare Center runs on unusually deep nurse staffing, 5.01 hours per resident day, roughly 30% above the national average, and its staff retention is strong, with turnover at 24.6% against a national rate near 46%. That consistency matters, though weekend coverage dips about 11% below weekday levels, so families should ask how that gap gets covered. The trade-off shows up elsewhere: 16 deficiencies on the current record, two serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, plus $11,154 in fines across two penalties. Its most recent inspection was in June 2025, so the picture is current, and this nonprofit's quality measure scores sit below its staffing marks.

Summer Commons runs a lean ship on the clinical side: 4.89 nurse hours per resident day puts it well above the national figure, and its last inspection came back clean on harm, no deficiencies at that level, nothing tied to abuse. The catch is people. More than half the staff turned over in the past year, which is higher than the national rate, and weekend coverage dips below what the building manages Monday through Friday. For-profit, LLC-owned, 64 beds in Sanford. The care numbers look steady right now. Whether the team stays long enough to keep them there is the real question to ask on a tour.

Devereux runs 3.72 nursing hours per resident day, a bit under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip roughly 8% below its own weekday coverage. That's a real gap if your family visits Saturdays and Sundays. The stronger numbers are elsewhere: turnover at 28.6% sits well under the 45.8% national figure, and inspections from July 2025 produced 18 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, though one was abuse-related, worth asking about directly. At 64 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, you're looking at a small, recently inspected home with stable staff and a thin staffing margin.

Sterling Village runs 143 certified beds out of a for-profit partnership, and the numbers are steadier than most. Total nurse staffing sits at 3.67 hours per resident day, roughly 5% under the national 3.86, so it's not a home that leans on extra hands, though the 28% annual turnover is well below the 45.8% national figure, which matters for whether you see the same faces month to month. Weekend coverage dips about 12% against its own weekdays, so a Saturday visit may look different from a Tuesday. Twelve deficiencies on record, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with a December 2025 inspection behind that.

The Pavilion in Hyannis runs a for-profit operation with 82 certified beds, and its staffing sits at 4.22 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 9% above the national average of 3.86. That edge narrows on weekends, which run about 11% leaner than weekdays, something to ask about if your family visits on Saturdays or Sundays. Staff turnover lands at 32.9%, well under the 45.8% national figure, which suggests people tend to stay. On the inspection side, four deficiencies are on record with none at harm or jeopardy level and nothing abuse-related; the most recent survey was June 17, 2025. Both health inspection and quality measure ratings come in at 5 out of 5, while staffing earns a 3.

Pinecrest runs on county money, and the numbers show a stable operation rather than a troubled one. Staff turnover sits at 28.8 percent against a national average near 46, that kind of retention matters more than raw hours, since residents see the same faces. Total nurse staffing is 3.62 hours per resident day, about 6 percent under the national figure, and weekends drop roughly 14 percent below the home's own weekday coverage, which is where gaps tend to show up. The inspection record isn't clean: 40 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and six tied to abuse, with the most recent survey in July 2025.

Jamieson Nursing Home runs on 2.87 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter below the national average of 3.86, so the care minutes here are thinner than what most homes provide. What offsets that is consistency: weekend staffing sits just above its own weekday level, and turnover is 15.4 percent against a national average near 46 percent, meaning aides and nurses tend to stay. The 16 deficiencies on record include one abuse-related finding, but none rose to harm or jeopardy, and the last inspection was in January 2026, so the picture is recent. For-profit corporate ownership, 39 beds, and steady quality and inspection scores round it out.

Cerenity Care Center White Bear Lake runs a nonprofit home with 132 certified beds, and its staffing is the strongest part of the picture: 4.09 nurse hours per resident day, about 6% above the national average, with a 5/5 CMS staffing rating. Turnover sits at 32.2%, well below the 45.8% national figure, which suggests a steadier workforce than most. What pulls the record down is the inspection side, 27 deficiencies on file, two of them at harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, plus two fines totaling $36,990 and a 3/5 health inspection rating. The most recent inspection was December 11, 2025, so that record is current. Weekend staffing dips roughly 8% below weekday levels.
