Maywood Terrace Living Center

Independence, MO · Jackson County

Staff turnover

Maywood Terrace runs on thinner staffing than most homes, about 3.49 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends dip roughly 9% below what the building manages on weekdays. The turnover number is the one that should stop you: 92.6% of staff leaving annually, when the typical U.S. nursing home sits near 45.8%. That kind of churn usually means caregivers who know your mother's routine aren't there long enough to learn it. The inspection record backs up the concern: 54 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, with a 2/5 inspection rating and 1/5 on both quality measures and staffing. It's for-profit, LLC-owned, last inspected July 2024.

Armour Oaks is a 38-bed nonprofit home in Kansas City, and the staffing numbers are the first thing I'd ask about. At 3.27 nurse hours per resident day, it runs roughly 15% under the national average, and weekends drop about 9% below its own weekday levels. The bigger concern is turnover: two out of three caregivers left last year, against a national rate near 46%. Inspections in August 2025 turned up 35 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and four tied to abuse. Ownership is nonprofit, which sometimes signals stability, but the current record doesn't show it here. I'd ask direct questions about who's actually on the floor on Saturday.

Parkway Health Care Center runs on 2.25 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 42% under the national average, and weekends drop about 10% below its own weekday level. That thin coverage sits behind a one-star staffing rating. The inspection record is heavier: 98 deficiencies, including 2 at harm or jeopardy level and 8 tied to abuse, drawing $30,821 in fines. Staff turnover hits 67.4% against a national 45.8%, so the people providing care keep changing. The most recent inspection was October 23, 2024. Corporate-owned, 97 beds.

Jefferson Health Care runs 118 beds in Lees Summit under corporate ownership, and the numbers describe a home stretched thin. Nurse staffing sits at 3.39 hours per resident day, roughly 12% under the national average, with weekends running about 16% below its own weekday level, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Staff turnover is 64.2% against a national 45.8%, meaning most of the people caring for residents this year probably won't be there next year. The inspection record shows 61 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and three tied to abuse, plus $34,459 in fines. That inspection was recent, April 2025, so the picture isn't stale.

Raintree Village runs a small house, 40 beds, and staffs it well above the national average at 4.92 nurse hours per resident day. That cushion matters most on weekends, and here it thins by about 14% against the home's own weekday coverage, which is worth asking about directly since that's when families tend to visit and notice. The inspection record is thin: one deficiency on file, nothing at the harm or jeopardy level, no abuse citations, and the most recent state visit came in May 2025. Corporate ownership doesn't tell you much on its own, but combined with that staffing and citation picture, the numbers suggest a home that has been running clean.
