Nurse staffing at Selfhelp Home of Chicago runs 4.85 hours per resident day, roughly a quarter above the national average, and weekends dip only about 9% below weekdays, a modest drop compared with what many homes see. Annual turnover sits at 24.4%, well under the national 45.8%. The tradeoff is on the inspection side: 21 deficiencies on the current record, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, with the last inspection in August 2024. The nonprofit's quality and staffing measure ratings are both top-tier, so the care numbers look strong; the open question is how that one serious deficiency fits with everything else.

Little Sisters of the Poor of Palatine runs 49 certified beds on Palatine's north side, and the numbers behind its record are unusually steady for a home this size. Nurse staffing sits at 5.74 hours per resident day, roughly half again the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage dips only about 10% below its own weekday level, which matters because weekend gaps are where a lot of homes quietly slip. Staff turnover of 18.2% is well under the 45.8% national figure, so the people caring for residents tend to stay. Five deficiencies on the current record, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the last inspection in November 2024.

Sunrise Terrace runs a tight ship on paper, and the numbers hold up. Staffing sits at 4.14 nurse hours per resident day, about 7% above the national average, and weekend coverage dips only slightly below weekdays, a modest gap that suggests the schedule doesn't fall apart on Saturdays. The standout is turnover: 12.1% against a national average near 46%, which means the people caring for your family member are more likely to still be there next year. One deficiency on the current record, none involving harm or abuse, and the most recent inspection was in July 2025. A for-profit corporation owns it, so watch the margins, but the state survey results are recent and clean.

Woodland Terrace runs a hundred beds in Waverly as a nonprofit, and its staffing is the strongest part of the picture: 4.44 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 15 percent above the national average of 3.86. Weekend hours dip about 6 percent below its own weekday level, and staff turnover sits at 40.9 percent, a few points better than the 45.8 percent national figure. The record isn't clean, though. Fourteen deficiencies are on file, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse. Inspectors last visited in May 2025. So you're weighing generous daily staffing and strong quality measures against a citation history that includes serious findings, worth asking the administrator directly how those were resolved.

Nurse staffing at Meth-Wick runs 4.92 hours per resident day, about 27% above the national average, and the weekend dip is modest, roughly 11% below its own weekday level, which is smaller than what many homes show. Staff turnover sits at 40.5%, below the national 45.8%, and the inspection record is thin: two deficiencies total, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in July 2025. This is a nonprofit home in Cedar Rapids with a stable workforce, recent clean surveys, and staffing that holds up on weekends, the things that tend to matter most when you're choosing care for someone you love.

Spurgeon Manor runs on 5.21 nursing hours per resident per day, which is about a third more than the national average of 3.86. That extra coverage holds up on weekends too, down roughly 8% from its own weekdays, but still well above what most homes staff any day. Staff turnover sits at 36.6%, noticeably under the 45.8% national figure, so the people caring for residents tend to stick around. The nonprofit's inspection record shows 8 deficiencies, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, with a state survey completed in September 2025. Its staffing and quality ratings both come in at 5 out of 5.

Lone Tree Retirement in Meade runs 4.73 nurse hours per resident day, about 23% above the national average, and that staffing shows: the federal staffing rating comes in at 5 out of 5, with turnover at 39.6%, lower than the 45.8% national figure. Weekend coverage dips roughly 9% below its own weekday level, so ask how that plays out on Sundays. The catch is the inspection record: 18 deficiencies, one involving actual harm, with the last survey in August 2025. Quality measures score 5 out of 5, but that one harm-level finding and a 3-out-of-5 inspection rating are what hold this for-profit home back.

Stanton County Health Care Facility in Johnson runs on a city/county budget, and the numbers show a place where people tend to stay. Annual turnover is 13.3 percent, well below the national 45.8 percent, and total nurse staffing sits at 5.27 hours per resident day, roughly a third more than the 3.86 national average. Weekend coverage dips only about 8 percent from weekday levels, so care doesn't thin out much on Saturdays and Sundays. Inspectors logged 24 deficiencies, none at the harm level, though one is abuse-related, and the last visit was August 2025. The staffing star rating of 1/5 looks odd next to those hours; CMS's scoring there weighs things like RN coverage specifically, not just total volume.

The numbers here tell a steady story. Nurse staffing runs about 5.98 hours per resident day, roughly 55% above the national average, and the weekend drop is modest, about 14% off its own weekday level, which matters because that's when many homes quietly thin out. Staff turnover sits at 27%, well under the national 45.8%, so the people caring for residents tend to stick around. On the inspection side, the home carries just two deficiencies, neither at the harm level and none abuse-related, with its most recent survey done in August 2025. It's a nonprofit corporation with 55 certified beds, small enough that consistency is easier to hold onto.

The Western Kentucky Veterans Center in Hanson is state-run, and that shows in the numbers. Nurse staffing runs about 5.4 hours per resident per day, roughly 40% above the national average, with weekend coverage dipping about 14% below its own weekday level. Turnover sits at 34.3%, better than the 45.8% national figure but still meaning about a third of staff leaving each year. On inspections, there's little to argue with: two deficiencies on the current record, none causing harm or involving abuse, and a survey completed in February 2026. A recent, clean inspection record paired with that staffing level is what a strong home looks like in the data.

Thomson-Hood Veterans Center runs on 5.09 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a third more than the national average, and its staff turnover of 29.4% sits well under the 45.8% national figure, a combination that tends to mean caregivers who know the residents and stay long enough to notice when something changes. Weekend coverage dips about 12% below weekday levels, which is worth asking about if you visit mainly on Saturdays. Five deficiencies on record, none at the harm level, though one is abuse-related and worth requesting details on. The most recent inspection was in May 2026. As a state-run veterans home, its numbers hold up well against most facilities.

Piper Shores runs about 5.14 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a third more than the national average, and its quality and staffing marks both sit at the top of CMS's scale. Weekends dip about 9% below weekday coverage, which is worth asking about if your family visits then. Turnover lands at 40.7%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure. The 21 deficiencies on record include nothing at the harm level and nothing abuse-related, and the most recent inspection was in December 2025, so the picture is current. As a nonprofit with 40 beds, it's small enough that you can press staff on specifics.

Broadmead runs on 5.71 nurse staffing hours per resident day, well above the national average of 3.86, and its weekend coverage only dips about 6% below weekday levels, a gap that's often much wider elsewhere. Turnover sits at 36.2%, lower than the 45.8% national figure, which matters because consistent caregivers tend to know residents' routines. The home carries 12 deficiencies on its current record, none tied to harm or abuse, and its last inspection was in late 2025, so the picture is recent. As a nonprofit with 70 certified beds, it's small enough that staffing ratios translate directly to bedside attention.

Carroll Lutheran Village runs 72 certified beds as a nonprofit, and its staffing sits at 3.89 nurse hours per resident day, just barely above the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 6% below its own weekday coverage, so ask how that gap gets covered. Turnover is the stronger number: 33.7% against a national average of 45.8%, which suggests a more stable crew than most places manage. The inspection record shows 34 deficiencies, but none at the harm or jeopardy level and none tied to abuse, and the most recent survey was in June 2025, so the picture is current.

Nurse staffing at Copley At Stoughton runs 4.27 hours per resident day, about 11 percent above the national average, and weekend coverage dips roughly 8 percent below its own weekday levels, so ask how that gap gets filled. Annual turnover of 20.6 percent sits well under the national 45.8 percent, which matters for whether you see the same faces month to month. The inspection record is the counterweight: 22 deficiencies, one at harm or jeopardy level and two abuse-related, plus a $10,517 fine, with the most recent inspection in December 2025. For-profit partnership ownership, 123 beds. Strong staffing and quality marks, a thinner inspection history.

Ingham County Medical Care Facility is a county-owned home in Okemos with 236 certified beds, and its staffing is the standout: 5.09 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a third more than the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips about 11% below weekday levels, which is common but still worth knowing if you're visiting Saturday or Sunday. Annual turnover sits at 37.5%, better than the 45.8% national figure, so the aides and nurses here tend to stick around longer than average. The caution is the inspection record, 63 deficiencies, one at harm or jeopardy level and nine abuse-related, with a health inspection rating of 2 out of 5 despite quality and staffing each earning top marks.

The Michigan Masonic Home in Alma runs on 5.19 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a third more staffing than the national average, and its staff turnover of 31.3% sits well below the 45.8% national figure, people tend to stay here. Weekend coverage dips about 10% from weekday levels, worth asking about if your family visits Saturdays and Sundays. Inspections turned up 13 deficiencies, none involving harm or abuse, and the most recent visit was January 2026, so the record is current. Five stars across staffing and quality measures, four on health inspections, under nonprofit ownership.

Allegan County Medical Care Facility runs on roughly 5.35 nursing hours per resident each day, well above the national average of 3.86, and its weekend coverage dips only slightly below weekday levels. Staff turnover sits at 32.7 percent, noticeably lower than the national 45.8 percent, which matters because familiar caregivers tend to notice changes in residents sooner. The county-owned home carries 11 deficiencies on its record, none at the harm level and none related to abuse, and its last inspection was in February 2026, recent enough that the findings reflect current conditions rather than old ones. With 39 certified beds, it stays small, and small homes live or die on whether the same people keep showing up. Here, the numbers suggest they do.

Edison Christian Health Center runs on 5.65 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 46 percent more than the national average, and that shows up in its staffing and quality measure ratings. Turnover sits at 43.2 percent, slightly better than the national 45.8, though weekend coverage drops about 10 percent from weekday levels. The home carries nine deficiencies on its current record, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with its most recent inspection dated September 2025. As a nonprofit with 136 certified beds in Grand Rapids, it has kept a clean harm-free survey history while staffing well above what most homes manage.

Valley Care and Rehab runs about 35 beds in Barnesville, and the nurse staffing works out to 4.24 hours per resident day, roughly 10 percent above the national average of 3.86. Weekends get thinner, though, running about 15 percent below the home's own weekday coverage, which is worth asking about if your family tends to visit then. Staff turnover sits at 44.2 percent, right around the national figure of 45.8 percent. Inspectors found six deficiencies on the current record, none at the harm or jeopardy level but three tied to abuse, and one fine totaling $7,446. The last inspection was June 15, 2026, so the record is recent.
