Nurse hours

Staff turnover

Laurellwood runs about 60 beds in Saint Petersburg under for-profit LLC ownership, and its last inspection was in August 2025. Nurse staffing sits at 3.28 hours per resident day, roughly 15% under the national average, and weekends dip about 6% below what the home staffs on weekdays, so coverage is thinnest when families tend to visit. Annual turnover of 51.3% runs above the 45.8% national figure. The inspection record carries 20 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one tied to abuse, plus a $37,316 fine. Its quality measure scores are strong, but a two-star inspection rating and that deficiency list are the parts worth asking about directly.

Staff turnover

Broward Oaks runs 120 certified beds in Plantation under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits right at the national average, 3.85 hours per resident day against 3.86 nationwide. The catch is weekends, when coverage drops about 15% below the home's own weekday level. Staff turnover is 27.2%, well under the 45.8% national figure, which matters because stable aides know residents. The inspection record is the weaker side: 34 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, and a $33,891 fine, though nothing abuse-related. The last inspection was May 2025. Quality measures score well; the health inspection side is where the home has work to do.

Fountains Rehabilitation At Mill Cove runs 84 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.74 nurse hours per resident day, just under the national 3.86 average, with weekends about 11% leaner than weekdays. Turnover comes in at 41.6%, actually better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters more than it sounds in a building this size. The inspection record shows 15 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, and the most recent survey was in February 2026, so the picture is current. A 4/5 on quality measures and 4/5 on staffing carry the profile; the 3/5 inspection rating is where the 15 findings show up.

Alexander "Sandy" Nininger State Veterans Nursing runs on unusually strong staffing for a Florida home: 5.57 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 44% above the national average, with weekend coverage dipping only about 10% below weekdays. Turnover sits at 24.4%, well under the 45.8% national figure, which suggests a stable crew rather than a revolving door. The trade-off shows up in oversight. Inspections turned up 23 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, and a $38,659 fine. The most recent inspection was January 2025, so the record is current. Strong hands on deck, but the state has found real problems worth asking about directly.

Power County Skilled Nursing Facility is a small, government-run home, a hospital district operation with just 21 certified beds in American Falls. The staffing numbers are its strongest card: 4.63 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 20% above the national average, though weekend coverage drops about 17% below its own weekday level, so care may thin out on Saturdays and Sundays. The inspection record is where the concern sits. Forty deficiencies on the current record is a lot for a home this size, even with none at the harm level and none abuse-related. The most recent inspection was June 9, 2026, so the findings are fresh.

Westmont, IL · Du Page County

Burgess Square runs on unusually heavy staffing for a for-profit partnership home, 4.94 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86. That's real coverage, though weekends dip about 7% below the home's own weekday level, so the number on paper isn't identical every day of the week. The inspection record is where the picture gets less comfortable. Thirty deficiencies, including three at harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, with the most recent inspection in December 2025. Turnover at 46.6% sits just above the national figure, meaning the staff providing that strong coverage is cycling through fairly quickly. Families weighing this one should ask directly how the harm-level findings were resolved.

Prairieview Lutheran Home runs on a non-profit model with 90 certified beds in Danforth, and its staffing is the strongest part of the picture: 4.82 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter above the national average, with a 5/5 staffing star and turnover at 34.5% against a national 45.8%. Weekends dip about 9% below weekday coverage, which is worth asking about. The trouble sits in inspections. A 2/5 health inspection star, 28 total deficiencies, five at harm or jeopardy level, two abuse-related, and four fines totaling $89,042, with the most recent inspection in November 2024. Good staffing doesn't erase a record like that, and it's the inspection history that drags this home down.

Nurse staffing at Hartsfield Village runs 4.45 hours per resident day, roughly 15 percent above the national average, which helps explain the four-star staffing rating. Weekend coverage dips about 14 percent below the home's own weekday level, so ask how that plays out on a Sunday. Staff turnover sits at 33.9 percent against a national 45.8, lower churn than most places, which matters for residents who value seeing the same faces. The 34 deficiencies on record carry no harm or jeopardy findings and nothing abuse-related, and the most recent inspection was August 2025. Quality and health inspection ratings both land at three stars, so care is solid without being exceptional.

Heritage Pointe of Warren is county-owned, and the numbers suggest that public ownership is working in residents' favor here. Nurse staffing sits at 4.43 hours per resident day, about 15% above the national average, though weekends run roughly 7% leaner than weekdays, worth asking about if your family visits on Saturdays or Sundays. Staff turnover is 41.5%, better than the 45.8% national figure but still a reminder that consistent caregivers matter. Eleven deficiencies on record, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in April 2026. The three CMS star ratings, inspection, quality measures, and staffing, all land at four out of five.

The Iowa Jewish Senior Life Center runs 46 certified beds as a nonprofit, and its last inspection came in April 2026, recent enough to trust the record is current. What that record shows: 13 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none tied to abuse, plus two fines totaling $18,349. Staffing is where the numbers get thin, CMS gives it 1 out of 5 stars, and annual turnover runs 52.9% against a national average of 45.8%, meaning more than half the staff leaves each year. Inspection and quality-measure ratings both sit at 3 out of 5.

Maple Heights runs on strong staffing for a 58-bed for-profit corporate home in Monona County. Nurses provide 4.36 hours per resident per day, roughly 13% above the national average, and the 28.4% turnover rate is well below the 45.8% national figure, people tend to stay. Inspections back that up: 11 deficiencies on record, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, with the most recent survey in December 2025. Two things temper the picture. Weekend staffing dips about 8% below the home's own weekday coverage, and the 2/5 quality measure rating suggests the clinical outcomes data isn't keeping pace with the staffing numbers.

Mill Valley Care Center runs 46 beds in Bellevue under corporate ownership, and its strongest asset is nursing hours: 4.23 per resident day, roughly 10% above the national average, which earned a 4 out of 5 staffing rating. Weekends dip about 14% below its own weekday coverage, so ask how that plays out on a Saturday. Turnover sits at 46.4%, essentially the national average, meaning aides cycle through at a typical rate. The record shows nine deficiencies, none causing harm or tied to abuse, and a clean five-star health inspection completed in June 2025, recent enough to trust. Quality measures score 3 out of 5, the softer spot.

Scenic Manor runs 77 certified beds in Iowa Falls under corporate for-profit ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.71 nurse hours per resident day, about 4% under the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage drops roughly 11% below what the home staffs on weekdays, so if you're visiting or calling on a Saturday, expect a thinner floor. The stronger number is turnover: 26.9% against a national average of 45.8%, which suggests workers here tend to stay. Its current record shows 11 deficiencies, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in May 2025.

Oakview runs a tight ship for a 40-bed for-profit home in Marion. Its nurse staffing sits just above the national average, and a 22.5% turnover rate is roughly half the national figure, that kind of stability usually means residents see the same faces week to week. Weekend coverage does dip about 15% below weekday levels, worth asking about if you're planning visits or worrying about Saturday care. The inspection record shows 13 deficiencies with none at harm level, though two are abuse-related, and the most recent state visit was August 2025.

Nurse staffing at Hegg Memorial runs 4.02 hours per resident day, about 4% above the national average, and weekends dip roughly 14% below the home's own weekday coverage, a gap worth asking about if your family visits mainly on Saturdays and Sundays. The bigger story is retention: 21.1% annual turnover against a national average of 45.8% means aides and nurses here tend to stay, which matters more for daily care than almost anything else on paper. Eleven deficiencies sit on the current record, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, with the last inspection in November 2025. This is a nonprofit corporation in Rock Valley, and the numbers describe a stable, adequately staffed home rather than an outstanding one.

Bardstown Health & Rehabilitation runs a 100-bed for-profit home in Nelson County, and the staffing numbers are genuinely above average, 4.76 nurse hours per resident day against a national 3.86. That cushion matters, though weekend coverage drops about 9% below its own weekday level, and turnover sits at 52.6%, noticeably higher than the 45.8% national figure. The record is mixed in other ways: 24 deficiencies on file, none at harm or jeopardy level, but four tied to abuse. Inspectors were last in on July 18, 2025, and the health inspection rating came back 2 out of 5 while quality measures scored 5 out of 5.

Calvert City Convalescent Center runs on unusually heavy nursing hours, 5.63 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and that staffing shows up in its five-star rating on that measure. Weekend coverage dips about 13% below weekday levels, so the care floor is thinner on Saturdays and Sundays. The nonprofit's 43.5% turnover sits slightly better than the national 45.8%. Inspections are the strongest part: a five-star health inspection rating with just 8 deficiencies on record, none at harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related. The weaker spot is quality measures at two stars, and the last inspection came in December 2025.

Staff turnover sits at 31.7%, well under the 45.8% national figure, which matters for residents who benefit from seeing the same faces. The tradeoff shows up in quality measures, where the home scores 1 out of 5, despite a 4 out of 5 on inspections. Five deficiencies are on record, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with one fine totaling $5,346. The most recent inspection was July 2025.

Springfield Nursing and Rehabilitation Center runs 70 certified beds under individual for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.02 hours per resident day, roughly 4% above the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips about 5% below its own weekday level, and annual staff turnover is 51.7%, which is higher than the national 45.8%; that churn matters because new aides need time to learn residents' routines. The current inspection record shows 7 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the last inspection dated January 8, 2026, so the picture is fairly current. Its quality measure and staffing ratings each land at 4 out of 5 stars, while health inspections come in at 3.

The Home Place At Midway runs 28 certified beds as a nonprofit, and its nurse staffing runs about 34% above the national average, enough to earn a 4/5 on CMS's staffing star. The catch is retention: 69.8% annual turnover, well above the 45.8% national figure, meaning the people delivering those hours keep changing. Weekend coverage dips modestly below the home's own weekday level. On the record: 13 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with one fine totaling $4,147. Its last inspection was in February 2026. A 5/5 quality measure rating sits against a 2/5 inspection rating, so the day-to-day care indicators look stronger than the survey history.
