Cedar Ridge Inn is a for-profit limited liability company in Farmington with 101 certified beds, and its recent inspection history is the strongest thing it has going. The last survey was in February 2025, and the health inspection rating comes in at 4 out of 5 stars. The catch is staffing: 3.14 nurse hours per resident day runs about 19% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip roughly 10% below the home's own weekday levels. Turnover at 40.9% is actually better than the 45.8% national figure, which suggests some stability. But 29 deficiencies sit on the current record, two of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and the two fines total $35,406.

Odelia Healthcare runs 119 certified beds in Albuquerque under corporate for-profit ownership, and its 4-star inspection and quality ratings suggest the care basics are mostly in order. The staffing picture is where the cracks show: 3.18 nurse hours per resident day sits about 18% under the national average, and weekends run roughly 13% thinner than weekdays, which matters when falls and infections don't check the calendar. Turnover at 47.6% edges past the national rate, so familiar faces may be hard to count on. Thirty-one deficiencies on record, including one tied to abuse and one at the harm level, are worth asking about directly. The last inspection was May 2025.

Betty Dare Wellness & Rehabilitation runs 90 certified beds in Alamogordo under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers tell a mixed story. Nurse staffing sits at 3.74 hours per resident day, a bit under the national average, and weekends drop about 11% below what the home staffs during the week, so coverage thins out right when families tend to visit. The bigger red flag is turnover: 67.7% annually against a national average of 45.8%, meaning most of the people caring for residents are relatively new to the building. Inspections show 70 deficiencies on the current record, none at harm level but one abuse-related, and the health inspection rating is 2 out of 5. Quality measures score better at 4 out of 5, which suggests clinical care can be solid when staffing holds up.

Albuquerque Heights runs a for-profit corporate operation with 134 certified beds, and its staffing sits at 3.76 hours per resident day, just under the national average, with weekends about 10% thinner than weekdays. The bigger issue is turnover: 66.7% of staff leave annually, well above the 45.8% national figure, which means the people caring for your family member are often new and still learning the building. Inspections tell a similar story. There are 84 deficiencies on the current record, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, and the last inspection was April 2025. The fines are modest, but the volume of problems is not.

San Juan Care Center runs on thin staffing: 3.16 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 18% under the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage drops another 13% below its own weekday level. Annual turnover sits at 52.9%, well above the 45.8% national figure, so the people providing that care are often new. The inspection record shows 23 deficiencies, none at the harm level but one abuse-related, with the most recent visit in June 2025. Ownership is for-profit corporate. The high inspection stars suggest the building itself is being run carefully when surveyors arrive; the low staffing stars suggest there frequently aren't enough hands.

Ladera Center runs 120 beds under corporate ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.29 hours per resident day, roughly 15% under the national average of 3.86, with weekends about 12% thinner than weekdays. Turnover is 35.1%, better than the 45.8% national figure, so the people who stay tend to stay. The problem is the inspection record: 64 deficiencies, five at harm or jeopardy level, three tied to abuse, and two fines totaling $106,581. That's a lot of documented trouble for a home this size. The most recent inspection was January 28, 2026, which is current. If you're considering it, ask specifically how weekend coverage is handled and what changed after the abuse-related findings.

Uptown Rehabilitation Center runs 134 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its staffing numbers are the main thing to know. Nurses provide 3.22 hours per resident per day, roughly 17% under the national average, and weekends drop about 8% below the home's own weekday level. Annual turnover sits at 63.6% against a national 45.8%, so the people caring for your relative are, statistically, fairly likely to be new or on their way out. The current record carries 67 deficiencies, including 2 at harm or jeopardy level and 4 abuse-related, with the last inspection in May 2025. Quality measures score well; staffing and inspections don't.

Las Cruces Wellness & Rehabilitation runs on a for-profit LLC model with 75 certified beds, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.02 hours per resident day, roughly 4% above the national average of 3.86. That margin narrows on weekends, when coverage drops about 12% below the home's own weekday level, so the numbers you see on paper aren't evenly spread across the week. Annual turnover is 41.2%, better than the 45.8% national figure but still meaning more than two in five caregivers leaving each year. The inspection record is where the real weight sits: 59 deficiencies, including one at harm or jeopardy level and five tied to abuse. Its most recent inspection was July 2, 2024.

Rio Rancho Center runs on 3.18 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 18% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 11% below what the home staffs on weekdays. That thin coverage lines up with a 54.1% annual turnover rate, well above the 45.8% national figure, so the people showing up are changing often. The inspection record shows 74 deficiencies, five tied to abuse, though none rose to harm or jeopardy level, and the last state visit was February 2025. Nearly every part of this home's record points the same direction: not enough consistent hands on deck, and a history of problems that keep recurring.

Princeton Health & Rehabilitation runs 369 certified beds under corporate ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.61 nurse hours per resident day, about 6% under the national average, with weekends roughly 10% thinner than weekdays. Turnover lands at 45.4%, essentially matching the national rate, so retention isn't the standout problem here. The inspection record is. Fifty-three deficiencies, including two at harm or jeopardy level and seven tied to abuse, plus two fines totaling $154,457, with the most recent inspection in July 2025. Quality and staffing measure stars look decent on paper, but the survey history is what a family should ask about directly before deciding.

Canyon Transitional Rehabilitation in Albuquerque runs 3.61 nurse hours per resident day, about 6% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 9% below its own weekday staffing. That pattern matters because nursing homes are often thinnest exactly when families visit. The home has a recent clean inspection, and its 37 deficiencies are all low-level except one abuse-related citation, with none at harm or jeopardy level. Turnover sits at 47%, slightly above the 45.8% national mark, meaning nearly half the nursing staff leaves each year. With 74 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, the numbers point to a home that passes inspections but runs lean on direct care.

Grants Wellness & Rehabilitation runs about 3.05 nurse staffing hours per resident day, roughly a fifth below the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip another 11% under its own weekday coverage. Annual turnover sits at 58.3%, well above the 45.8% national figure, so the people caring for residents change often. The 31 deficiencies on record include two at the harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, with a single fine of $10,839. What keeps this from looking worse is the inspection side: a recent November 2025 survey and strong quality-measure scores. The care that's measured can look good while the hands available to deliver it stay thin.

Bloomfield Nursing and Rehabilitation Center runs on 2.98 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter below the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 14% below its own weekday staffing. That thinner weekend coverage matters in a 95-bed building, because licensed nurses are the people who catch changes before they become hospital trips. Staff turnover sits at 54.8% against a national 45.8%, meaning more than half the nursing workforce turns over in a year. Inspections in January 2026 turned up 44 deficiencies, three of them serious enough to put residents in harm's way, plus two fines totaling $73,226. Corporate-owned, for-profit, mid-range on every CMS measure, the numbers describe a home that passes minimums without much cushion.

Casa Del Sol Center runs on thinner nurse coverage than most homes, 3.52 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and the gap widens on weekends, when staffing drops roughly 19% below its own weekday level. That's the pattern that tends to matter most, since families often visit Saturday and Sunday. The bigger concern is turnover: 62.3% of nursing staff left over the past year, well above the 45.8% national figure, which means the people caring for your relative are frequently new. Fifty-five deficiencies sit on the current record, two tied to abuse, though none reached harm or jeopardy level. The last inspection was March 2025, so the picture is reasonably current.

St. Anthony Healthcare and Rehabilitation Center runs 70 certified beds in Clovis under corporate for-profit ownership, and the staffing numbers are the first thing that stands out. At 3.26 nurse hours per resident day, it sits roughly 16% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 12% below its own weekday levels, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Annual turnover of 59.6% against a 45.8% national rate means the people providing that care are often new. The current record shows 47 deficiencies, including two at harm or jeopardy level and three abuse-related, with $24,271 in fines. A recent inspection in August 2025 doesn't erase that history.

South Valley Care Center is a 58-bed for-profit home in Albuquerque, and its inspection record is genuinely strong, a five-star health inspection rating, with its most recent survey in July 2025 and no deficiencies at the harm or jeopardy level. The one abuse-related citation on file is worth asking about directly. Staffing is where the picture shifts: 3.33 nurse hours per resident day sits about 14 percent under the national average, and turnover runs at 67.9 percent against a national 45.8. That means nearly seven in ten staff left over the year, so the people caring for your family member may keep changing. Weekend coverage holds roughly level with weekdays, which is better than many homes manage.

La Vida Llena runs a nonprofit home with 50 certified beds in Albuquerque, and its nurses put in 4.15 hours per resident day, about 7% more than the national average. That cushion thins on weekends, when staffing drops roughly 17% below its own weekday levels. Annual turnover sits at 64.2%, well above the 45.8% national figure, so the people delivering that care keep changing. Inspectors visited in December 2025 and logged 21 deficiencies, none at the harm level but two tied to abuse. The federal quality measures come in at 1 out of 5 stars even as inspections earn 4.

Casa Maria Healthcare runs about 3.18 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, roughly 18 percent thinner, and weekends drop another 11 percent below what the building manages Monday through Friday. Staff turnover sits at 51.3 percent, higher than the 45.8 percent national figure, so the people left on the floor are often the newest. The current inspection record carries 54 deficiencies, five of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, six tied to abuse, and $99,368 in fines across three penalties. The quality-measure score looks strong in isolation, but that is families' ratings of daily care, not proof the building is adequately staffed to deliver it.

Luna Wellness Rehabilitation runs 3.14 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 13% below its own weekday staffing. That thin coverage sits behind a one-star CMS staffing rating, and the inspection record backs it up: 58 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and seven tied to abuse, with $66,876 in fines across two penalties. The five-star quality measure score looks better on paper, but quality measures reflect resident assessments, not how many hands are available when someone needs help. For-profit operation under a limited liability company, last inspected April 2025. Ask about weekend coverage and the abuse-related findings before deciding.

Lovington Healthcare runs 62 beds under corporate ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.06 hours per resident per day, roughly a fifth below the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop about 12% below the home's own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. Staff turnover is 57.7% against a 45.8% national figure, which means more than half the nursing staff turns over in a year. The inspection record shows 32 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, but one tied to abuse; the most recent inspection was May 2025. Quality measures score well, though the staffing numbers are what shape daily life.
