The staffing numbers here are the real story: 4.65 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a fifth more than the national average, and 5 out of 5 on CMS's staffing measure. Turnover sits at 29.4% against a national 45.8%, which matters because consistent caregivers know residents' routines. Weekend coverage dips about 12% below weekdays, so ask how that plays out on Saturdays. The 18 deficiencies on record include two abuse-related citations, though none rose to harm or jeopardy, and the most recent inspection was in February 2026, so the picture is current. A large nonprofit with recent scrutiny and strong staffing is worth a visit, go on a weekend.

Shirley Chapman Sholom Home East runs on unusually heavy nurse staffing, 5.21 hours per resident day, roughly a third more than the national average, and its staff tend to stay, with turnover at 30.1% against a national 45.8%. Weekend coverage dips about 9% below its own weekday level, so ask how that plays out on Saturdays. The trade-off sits in its inspection record: 26 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, with the most recent state visit in April 2025. Strong daily care numbers, a thinner margin on compliance.

Lakewood Health System in Staples runs on 4.41 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 14% more than the national average, and its staff turnover of 34.3% is well below the 45.8% national figure, people tend to stay here. The tradeoffs show up in two places: weekend staffing dips about 12% below weekday levels, and the current record carries 8 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related. A February 2026 inspection is recent, so the picture is current rather than stale, and the nonprofit ownership removes some of the pressure that drives short-staffing elsewhere. Strong on paper, with a couple of specific things worth asking about directly.

Sunnyside runs on county money in a small Becker County town, and the numbers show real investment in direct care: 5.07 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a third more than the national average, with staff staying far longer than is typical elsewhere. Twelve deficiencies on the current record is a lot for a 30-bed home, though, and one of them involved actual harm or jeopardy and another was abuse-related, so the inspection history isn't clean. Weekends also run about 12% thinner than weekdays, which matters when falls and emergencies don't schedule themselves. The last survey came in June 2026.

Forrest General Hospital's skilled nursing unit runs on 8.20 nurse hours per resident day, more than double the national average of 3.86. That's an unusual number, most homes don't come close. Weekend staffing dips about 13% below its own weekday level, which is worth asking about if your family visits on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover sits at 44.8%, essentially matching the national rate, so retention here isn't a problem or a strength. The county-owned unit carries two deficiencies on its current record, neither at the harm level and none abuse-related, with its last inspection in May 2026. All three CMS star ratings land at five.

Lions Gate runs on a nonprofit model with 110 certified beds in Voorhees, and the staffing numbers are the first thing that stands out: 5.61 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 45% above the national average. That level holds up reasonably well on weekends too, dipping only about 6% below its own weekday pace. Staff turnover sits at 34.5%, which is meaningfully below the national rate of 45.8%, people tend to stay. The tradeoff shows up in inspections: 14 deficiencies on record, none at the harm or jeopardy level, but one abuse-related citation, with the most recent inspection in February 2025. Quality measures rate well above average; the health inspection side is more middling.

Hoboken University Medical Center's TCU is a small unit, just 15 certified beds, and it runs on a corporate for-profit model, but the numbers hold up. Nurse staffing sits at 6.26 hours per resident day, well above the national average, and the unit earned a full five stars on CMS's staffing measure, with turnover at 26.3 percent compared to a national rate near 46 percent. The current record shows four deficiencies, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, and the last inspection was in June 2024. The one thing worth knowing: weekend staffing drops about 13 percent below weekday levels, so coverage isn't perfectly even across the week.

Miners Colfax Medical Center is a state-run home in Raton with 37 certified beds, and the numbers behind its record are worth walking through. Nurse staffing sits at 4.66 hours per resident day, about 21 percent above the national average, though weekend coverage drops roughly 11 percent below what the home provides on weekdays, so ask how that gap gets handled. Staff turnover of 44.4 percent is essentially in line with the national rate. Inspectors cited 16 deficiencies on the current record, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection completed in May 2025.

Northwell Health Stern Family Center in Manhasset runs on a nonprofit model with 256 certified beds, and the numbers tell a fairly steady story. Nurse staffing sits at 4.99 hours per resident day, roughly 29% above the national average of 3.86, though weekend coverage dips about 7% below weekday levels. Staff turnover comes in at 31.6%, well under the 45.8% national figure, which matters for consistency of care. The inspection record shows 14 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent survey from February 2025. Federal ratings land at 3 out of 5 for health inspections but 5 out of 5 on both quality measures and staffing. The weak spot is inspection history, not daily care.

Kendal On Hudson runs a small operation, just 26 certified beds, but the staffing numbers stand out. At 4.49 nurse hours per resident day, it beats the national average of 3.86 by roughly 16%, and weekend coverage dips only about 12% below its own weekday level. Staff turnover sits at 16.1% against a national average of 45.8%, which matters more than almost anything else for consistency of care. Nine deficiencies on the current record, none at the harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related, and the most recent inspection was May 2024. Nonprofit ownership, strong inspection and quality ratings, the picture is steady rather than spectacular, which is usually what you want.

Nurse staffing here runs about 19% above the national average, and weekend coverage dips only slightly from weekday levels, around 6%, which is a modest shift rather than a fall-off. Staff turnover sits at 29.3% against a national average of 45.8%, meaning fewer caregivers are cycling out the door. The inspection record is thin: 2 deficiencies total, none involving harm or abuse, with the most recent visit in March 2025. That's a for-profit corporate home with 60 beds, so it isn't operating at a scale that forces shortcuts. The numbers point to steady, well-attended care rather than anything flashy.

Elizabeth Seton Children's Center runs on a nonprofit model with 169 certified beds, and the staffing numbers stand out right away: 11.06 nurse hours per resident day, roughly triple the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips about 7% below weekday levels, but that's a modest gap given the overall volume. Staff turnover sits at 22.2%, well under the national 45.8%, which suggests people stay. Inspections in August 2025 turned up 14 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, though four were abuse-related, worth asking about directly. The quality and staffing ratings both come in at the top of CMS's scale, and the health inspection rating is close behind.

Hillcrest Convalescent Center is a for-profit, 86-bed home in Durham with an unusually clean record: zero deficiencies on file, none at the harm level, none abuse-related, and its last inspection was in February 2025. Nurse staffing sits at 5.95 hours per resident day, about 54% above the national average, and weekend coverage holds within roughly 5% of weekday levels, a gap that trips up plenty of homes. Staff turnover is 31.4%, well below the 45.8% national figure, which matters because consistent caregivers know their residents. The federal stars back this up: five for staffing and inspections, four for quality measures. For-profit corporate ownership is the one thing here that isn't a strength on paper, but the numbers outweigh it.

Edgewood Place runs on unusually deep staffing for a 51-bed nonprofit home in Burlington, 5.34 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a third more than the national average, with weekend coverage dipping only slightly below its own weekday levels. That stability shows in the turnover number, which is where a lot of homes fall apart. Eight deficiencies on the current record, none rising to harm or jeopardy and none abuse-related, and the most recent inspection was in July 2025, so the picture is current rather than stale. The staffing rating and the inspection record tell a consistent story here. For a family weighing options, the main question isn't whether this home has problems, every home does, but whether the ones it has are minor and whether the people showing up to work keep showing up.

Carol Woods runs 30 certified beds as a nonprofit, and the staffing number stands out: 4.92 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 27% above the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips about 10% below its own weekday level, which is worth asking about if your family visits mainly on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover sits at 35.1%, better than the 45.8% national figure. On the inspection side, there are 7 deficiencies on record but none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection dated June 26, 2025. A small nonprofit with strong nurse hours and clean harm-level findings, that combination is uncommon.

Piedmont Crossing runs on about 5.11 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly a third more than the national average, and its weekend hours dip only slightly below weekdays, a gap that's usually wider elsewhere. Staff turnover sits at 32.6%, well under the 45.8% national figure, which matters because consistent caregivers know residents' routines. The current record shows three deficiencies, none involving harm or abuse, and the most recent inspection was in April 2026. As a nonprofit with 104 beds, it isn't chasing quarterly returns; the numbers suggest steady, well-staffed care with no serious compliance problems on the books.

Wilkes Regional Medical Ctr Sn runs just 10 beds inside a hospital in North Wilkesboro, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.78 hours per resident day, roughly a quarter above the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips about 7% below its own weekday level, but turnover of 30.8% is well under the 45.8% national figure, so the people caring for residents tend to stay. The state inspection history is thinner: 14 deficiencies on record, none rising to harm or jeopardy and none abuse-related, with the most recent visit in April 2025. A 2-out-of-5 inspection rating paired with a 5-out-of-5 quality measure score tells you the care itself measures well even where paperwork and process have drawn scrutiny.

Glenaire runs 7.42 nurse hours per resident day, roughly double the national average, and that staffing shows up in the ratings: five stars each for staffing and quality measures, four for health inspections. Turnover sits at 36.8 percent against a national 45.8, so the people caring for residents tend to stick around. The current record carries four deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related, worth asking about directly. Weekend staffing dips about 9 percent below weekdays, which is common but still a real difference if your family visits on Saturdays. The last inspection was December 31, 2025, so the picture is recent, and as a nonprofit, this home answers to a board rather than shareholders.

St. Aloisius runs on 4.61 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 19 percent more than the national average, and its staff tends to stay: turnover is 31.7 percent against a national figure near 46 percent. Weekend coverage dips about 13 percent below weekday levels, which is common but worth knowing if your visits fall on Saturdays and Sundays. The inspection record shows six deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy, and none tied to abuse; the most recent look came in April 2026. Church-affiliated nonprofit ownership rounds out the picture. Five stars each on staffing and health inspections, four on quality measures, the numbers back the reputation.

Hatton Prairie Village runs on 3.97 nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the national average, and its staff turnover of 26% sits well under the 45.8% typical elsewhere, that kind of retention usually means caregivers stay long enough to know the residents. Weekend staffing drops about 13% from weekday levels, so ask how that plays out on Saturdays and Sundays. The 13 deficiencies on record include nothing at the harm or jeopardy level and nothing abuse-related, and the most recent inspection was in September 2025. Licensed for 38 beds under nonprofit ownership, this is a small house where the numbers hold up.
