Staff turnover

Evangelical Home - Saline is a church-affiliated nonprofit with 143 certified beds, and its nurse staffing runs about 20% above the national average at 4.63 hours per resident day. That's a real margin in a field where most homes sit closer to 3.86. The catch is consistency: weekend staffing drops roughly 11% below its own weekday level, so coverage isn't the same on a Saturday as a Tuesday. Annual turnover sits at 51.2%, higher than the 45.8% national figure, and the current record shows 35 deficiencies, none at the harm level, though two are abuse-related, which is worth asking about directly. The last inspection was recent, January 2026.

Vista Grande Villa runs 60 beds as a nonprofit, and its record is a mixed bag worth reading carefully. The clinical numbers look strong, with top marks on quality measures, but nurse staffing sits at 3.64 hours per resident day, about 6% under the national average, and weekends run roughly 16% thinner than weekdays, which is when families tend to visit and notice. Inspections since February 2026 turned up 27 deficiencies, five of them abuse-related, though none rose to the level of actual harm or jeopardy. A recent inspection plus that many findings means the survey history is doing more work here than the quality scores suggest.

Pomeroy Living Rochester Skilled Rehabilitation runs 182 certified beds in Rochester Hills under for-profit LLC ownership. Nurse staffing sits at 4.58 hours per resident day, roughly 19% above the national average, though weekends dip about 9% below the home's own weekday coverage. The 47.1% annual turnover is close to the national 45.8%. What separates this home is the split between its numbers. Staffing and quality measures both earn 4 out of 5 stars, but health inspections land at 2, with 40 deficiencies on record, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level. No abuse citations appear. The last inspection was April 2026. Solid day-to-day care metrics, a weaker inspection history, and average retention, worth asking about that harm-level finding directly.

The Village of East Harbor runs a church-affiliated nonprofit home with 102 beds in Chesterfield Township, and its staffing sits at 4.17 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 8% above the national average. That edge narrows on weekends, when coverage drops about 14% below the home's own weekday level, something worth asking about if your family visits primarily on Saturdays or Sundays. Staff turnover lands at 43.4%, slightly better than the 45.8% national figure. The current record shows 17 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, and a single fine of $15,593. The most recent inspection was April 2, 2025, so the picture is reasonably current.

Chosen Valley Care Center runs on strong staffing and a clean inspection record. At 4.00 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 4% above the national average, and that shows in the five-star staffing rating. The nine deficiencies on file include none at the harm or jeopardy level and none related to abuse, and the most recent inspection was in August 2025. Weekend coverage dips roughly 12% below weekday levels, so ask how that plays out on Saturdays. Turnover at 40.4% is better than the 45.8% national figure but still means a lot of faces change. The quality measure rating of 2 out of 5 is the outlier worth asking about directly.

Cornerstone Villa runs on 4.01 nurse hours per resident day, which is about 4% more than the national average of 3.86. That staffing edge is real, though weekend coverage drops roughly 12% from weekday levels, so the daily experience can vary by when you visit. Turnover sits at 44.4%, just under the national 45.8%. The current record shows 20 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related, and three fines totaling $17,455. The last inspection was December 4, 2025. As a nonprofit with 43 beds, it's small enough to know residents individually, but that harm-level citation is worth asking about directly.

Aberdeen Heights runs a genuinely strong staffing operation: 4.86 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter above the national average, and a perfect federal staffing star to match. The catch is turnover, which sits at 65.4% against a national average of 45.8%, that much churn undercuts consistency even when the daily hours look good on paper, and weekend coverage drops about 14% below weekday levels. Inspections are current and clean where it counts: nine deficiencies on record, none at harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related.

Serious cites

Nurse staffing at Mccrite Plaza runs about 5.92 hours per resident day, well above the national average of 3.86, which is the main reason its staffing rating holds at 4 out of 5. That coverage thins on weekends, dropping roughly 9% below weekday levels, and 54.5% of staff turned over in the past year, higher than the 45.8% national figure, so the people providing that care keep changing. The inspection record is the weaker side: 37 deficiencies, including two at the harm level and one tied to abuse, plus a $31,280 fine. With a 2/5 health inspection rating and a December 2024 inspection, the compliance history is worth asking about directly.

Valley View Home runs on 3.98 nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the national average, though weekend coverage drops about 12% below what the home staffs on weekdays. Staff turnover sits at 40%, better than the 45.8% typical nationally. The inspection record is the strong point: a recent June 2025 survey and a five-star inspection rating. But 15 deficiencies are on file, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse, plus a $16,614 fine, real problems even at a home whose overall numbers look steady.

Staff turnover

Northern Montana Care Center runs a tight ship on staffing: 4.31 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 12 percent above the national average, which is the main reason it earns top marks there. Weekend coverage dips about 11 percent below its own weekday level, worth asking about, and staff turnover sits at 47.5 percent, slightly above the national 45.8 percent, so continuity may be a real issue. The inspection record is strong: five stars, last survey in June 2025, and eight deficiencies with none at harm or jeopardy level. One is abuse-related, which you should ask about directly. Quality measure scores come in at two stars, so clinical outcomes don't match the staffing picture.

Sutton Community Home runs on a nonprofit model with 31 beds, and its staffing is the strongest part of the picture: 4.72 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 22 percent above the national average. Weekend coverage dips about 7 percent below its own weekday level, and turnover sits at 37.9 percent, better than the 45.8 percent national figure, though still meaning more than a third of staff leaving each year. The current record shows 12 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the last inspection in December 2025. The weak spot is quality measures, which lag well behind what the staffing numbers would suggest.

Boulder City Hospital SNF sits at 47 beds under nonprofit ownership, and the staffing numbers are genuinely better than most: 4.21 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86. That said, weekends run about 14% thinner than weekdays, so coverage isn't perfectly even. The bigger concern is turnover, 64% of staff leaving annually, well above the 45.8% national figure, which can make care feel inconsistent even when raw hours look strong. Inspections are a clear strength: a top health inspection rating, zero deficiencies at the harm level, and nothing abuse-related. Twelve total deficiencies exist but none serious. The most recent inspection was May 2025.

Pleasant Valley runs leaner on nursing hours than the typical U.S. home, about 3.47 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends dip roughly 15% below what the building staffs on weekdays. Turnover sits at 43.2%, which is actually a touch better than the national 45.8%, so the staffing picture isn't as shaky as the raw hours suggest. On inspections, the record is clean where it counts: 16 deficiencies logged, but none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with a recent January 2026 survey. A for-profit LLC operates it. What the numbers support is a home that's been kept in reasonable order, with thinner coverage on weekends worth asking about directly.

Golden View runs a nonprofit home in Meredith with 131 beds, and its strongest feature is how many people are on the floor: 4.70 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 22% above the national average. Weekend coverage slips about 10% below its weekday level, and turnover sits at 39.8%, better than the 45.8% national figure. The tradeoffs show up elsewhere. Inspectors last visited in January 2026 and left 16 deficiencies on record, none at harm or jeopardy level but one tied to abuse. Quality measures earned just 2 of 5 stars, even as staffing took the top mark.

Mountain View Community runs on county money, and the staffing shows it: 4.88 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter more than the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips about 6% below its own weekday levels, so ask how that plays out on a Sunday afternoon. Turnover sits at 47.6%, a touch above the national 45.8%, which means new faces on the floor fairly often. The inspection record is the strongest part of the picture, six deficiencies, none at the harm level, none related to abuse, with a visit as recent as November 2025. Quality measures come in middle-of-the-road, so the clinical side isn't the differentiator here; the direct-care hours are.

United Methodist Communities At The Shores runs 60 certified beds in Ocean City as a church-affiliated nonprofit, and its staffing sits at 4.18 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 8% above the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 9% below its own weekday levels, which is worth knowing if you visit on a Saturday or Sunday. The 14 deficiencies on record include none at the harm or jeopardy level and none tied to abuse; the most recent inspection was August 29, 2025. Staff turnover of 40.7% comes in under the national 45.8%. On the federal stars, health inspections and staffing both land at 4 out of 5, while quality measures sit at 3.

Plaza Healthcare & Rehabilitation Center runs 128 certified beds in Elizabeth under for-profit partnership ownership. Its 3.30 nurse staffing hours per resident day sit about 15% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip roughly 11% below its own weekday levels, worth asking about if your family visits mainly on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover, though, is 30.7% against a national 45.8%, so the team tends to stay. Inspections in June 2025 found 28 deficiencies on record, including two at harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse. Strong marks on health inspections, quality measures, and staffing sit alongside that deficiency history, the kind of mixed picture worth reading closely before deciding.

Pelican Pointe runs a 120-bed for-profit operation in North Cape May, and the numbers split in two directions. Nurse staffing sits at 3.64 hours per resident day, roughly 6% under the national average, and weekend coverage drops about 10% below what the home staffs on weekdays, so the hours get thinnest exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover is the brighter spot at 34%, well under the 45.8% national figure, which suggests less churn in who's actually at the bedside. The health inspection record is the weak side: 16 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, and a $16,153 fine, with the most recent inspection in March 2025.

Retirement Ranches runs a nonprofit home in Clovis with 104 certified beds, and the staffing picture is genuinely strong, 4.23 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 10% above the national average, with turnover at 39.8% versus 45.8% nationally. Weekend coverage dips about 13% below its own weekday level, so ask how that plays out on Sundays. Inspections in November 2025 landed at 4 stars, and quality measures also sit at 4. The catch is the record underneath: 15 deficiencies, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and 12 fines totaling $69,046. Good staffing and recent inspections, but a paper trail worth reading closely before you decide.

Oxford Nursing Home runs 235 certified beds in Brooklyn under corporate ownership, and its 3.46 nurse staffing hours per resident day sit about 10% under the national figure of 3.86. Weekends drop roughly 12% below its own weekday level, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. The inspection record shows 21 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, though three are abuse-related and worth asking about directly. Staff turnover is 19.5% against a national average near 46%, which suggests people stay. Its last inspection was September 2025, recent enough to trust. A 4/5 on health inspections and 5/5 on quality measures rounds out a home with real strengths and a staffing gap to weigh.
