Wayne County Nursing Home

Lyons, NY · Wayne County

CMS 1/5 192 beds Government Medicaid
Nurse hours

Staff turnover
33%

0

Wayne County Nursing Home is run by the county, and its staffing is the strongest part of the picture: 4.57 nurse hours per resident day, about 18% above the national average, with turnover at 33.3%, noticeably lower than the 45.8% typical elsewhere. Weekends, though, run roughly 19% thinner than weekdays, so coverage isn't even across the week. The trouble sits in inspections, where CMS gives one star out of five. Fourteen deficiencies are on the current record, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, plus a $16,153 fine. The most recent inspection was November 2024. Good staffing and steady retention matter, but a harm-level finding and an abuse citation are the kind of thing you'd want to ask about directly before deciding.

Big Elm Retirement And Nursing Centers

Nurse hours

Staff turnover
42%
Serious cites
0

Big Elm runs leaner on risk than most: one harm-level deficiency and one abuse citation on the current record, but the state was last in the building in August 2025, so the picture is recent. Staffing is the strong point, 5.10 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, though weekends dip about 16% below the home's own weekday coverage, and turnover sits at 42%, a touch better than the 45.8% national figure. Sixteen total deficiencies is not nothing. For a 50-bed for-profit owned by an individual, four stars across health inspections, quality measures, and staffing is a steadier record than that ownership category often produces.

Whispering Pines Nursing & Rehab Center

Staff turnover
41%
Serious cites
0

Whispering Pines runs 4.34 nurse hours per resident day, about 12% above the national average, and its 41% turnover is a few points better than the typical home. The catch is weekends, when staffing drops roughly 19% below its own weekday level, that's when gaps tend to show up. On inspections, the record is strong: a 5-star health inspection rating from CMS, last survey in April 2025, and just three deficiencies, though one rose to the harm level. One fine totaling $8,512 is on file. For-profit corporate ownership, 86 beds, and a consistent staffing picture overall.

Serious cites

Mckenzie County Healthcare Systems runs a 42-bed nonprofit home in Watford City, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.27 hours per resident day, roughly 11% above the national average. That's a real cushion, though weekends run about 10% leaner than weekdays, so coverage isn't perfectly even across the week. The inspection record is where things get mixed: 12 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, plus a single $6,300 fine. The most recent inspection was in July 2025, so the picture is current. For a small rural home, the staffing strength is genuine, but those two serious deficiencies deserve a direct question before you decide.

Serious cites

St. Benedicts runs a leaner nursing floor than most: 3.75 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 18% below its own weekday coverage. That gap matters most on Saturdays and Sundays, when families tend to visit and when care needs don't take the weekend off. The nonprofit's inspection record is genuinely strong, a five-star health inspection rating, a clean slate on harm-level deficiencies, and a survey completed in April 2025, though one abuse-related citation and a 53.9% annual turnover rate, well above the 45.8% national figure, are worth asking about directly. Quality measures sit mid-range at three stars.

Regency Care Of Copley runs 70 certified beds in Akron under for-profit LLC ownership, and the direct-care hours come in at 3.94 per resident day, a bit above the national average of 3.86, but weekends run roughly 15% thinner than weekdays, so coverage isn't steady across the week. The inspection record is where you want to look closely: 27 deficiencies on file, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse. The most recent inspection was December 2025, and the staffing star sits at 3 out of 5, while quality measures rate 5. Ask about weekend coverage and what changed after that harm-level finding, and ask what the abuse-related citations involved.

Southbrook Healthcare, Inc

Ardmore,, OK · Carter County

CMS 5/5 114 beds For-profit Medicaid
Nurse hours

Staff turnover

Southbrook runs a tight ship on inspections, a five-star health inspection rating and ten total deficiencies on record, none of them causing harm or involving abuse. The tradeoff shows up in day-to-day coverage: nurse staffing sits at 3.59 hours per resident day, about 7% under the national average, and weekends run roughly 17% thinner than weekdays, so care can feel different depending on when you visit. Staff retention works in its favor, though, with turnover at 33.3% against a national average near 46%. Ownership is corporate and for-profit, and the last full inspection was in January 2025.

Jeanne Jugan Residence

Pawtucket, RI · Providence County

Nurse hours

Staff turnover

Serious cites
0

Jeanne Jugan Residence runs on 5.93 nurse hours per resident per day, well above the 3.86 national average, and weekends barely dip from weekday coverage, about 5%. Its last inspection, in April 2026, turned up three deficiencies, none involving harm or abuse, and the health inspection rating sits at the top of the scale. The quality measure rating is where it thins out, landing at 2 of 5, so the clinical numbers families often weigh don't match the staffing strength. As a nonprofit with 49 beds, it's small enough that nurse coverage translates directly to the floor. Ask what's driving the quality measures before you decide.

Claiborne Health And Rehabilitation Center

Claiborne Health and Rehabilitation Center runs on 4.35 total nurse hours per resident day, roughly 13% above the national average, and that shows up in a 4-out-of-5 staffing rating. The catch is weekends, when coverage drops about 11% below the home's own weekday level. On its current record are 11 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, though 3 are abuse-related, worth asking about directly. The most recent inspection was November 20, 2025, so the picture is current. This is a nonprofit corporation with 100 certified beds in Tazewell, sitting at 3 out of 5 on both health inspections and quality measures. Strong weekday staffing, a thinner weekend, and a handful of abuse-related findings is the honest summary.

Southern Tenn Medical Center SNF runs 4.42 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 14% above the national average of 3.86, but that staffing star rating still comes in at just 1 out of 5, and weekends drop about a third below the home's own weekday level. The inspection record shows 11 deficiencies with none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, and the last state visit was September 4, 2025, so the record is current. Health inspection rating sits at 2 out of 5 while quality measures hit 4 out of 5. It's a 46-bed for-profit owned by an individual. The weekday numbers look better than what families actually experience on Saturdays and Sundays.

City Creek Post Acute sits in Salt Lake City with 108 certified beds and a for-profit partnership structure. The numbers here pull in opposite directions: residents' clinical outcomes score well on federal quality measures, but staffing earns only one star out of five, and the home carries 21 deficiencies on its current record, including three at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse. That staffing figure is the one worth sitting with, since day-to-day care depends on people, not charts. The most recent inspection closed in March 2026, so the picture is current. Ask about direct-care hours per resident per day and how the abuse-related findings were resolved before you make a decision.

Draper Rehabilitation runs on 3.84 nurse hours per resident day, right at the national average of 3.86, but weekends dip about 15% below its own weekday staffing. Turnover sits at 40%, better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for whether you see the same faces month to month. The current record shows six deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related citation, those are the ones worth asking about directly, even with a recent inspection in November 2025 and four-out-of-five stars across health inspections, quality measures, and staffing. This is a for-profit LLC, so ask how the harm and abuse citations were resolved and how weekend coverage is handled.

Pinnacle runs about 3.54 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 8% under the national average, and weekends dip 16% below its own weekday coverage, so the care you'd see on a Saturday isn't quite what you'd see on a Tuesday. Turnover is 39.3%, which is actually better than the 45.8% national figure. Fifteen deficiencies sit on the record, but none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, and the last inspection was January 29, 2026. Quality measures score 5/5. The main soft spot is staffing volume, not safety.

Greensboro Nursing Home runs 30 certified beds as a nonprofit, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.11 hours per resident day, roughly 6% above the national average, though weekends drop about 11% below its own weekday levels. That's a real gap if your family visits or calls on Saturdays and Sundays. The inspection record is where things get more complicated: 23 deficiencies on file, none at the harm or jeopardy level, but seven tied to abuse. The last inspection was May 2026, so the record is recent. Its quality measure rating is strong, but a 3-out-of-5 on health inspections and staffing, plus those abuse-related citations, is worth asking about directly before you decide.

Franklin County Rehab Center runs on a for-profit individual owner, and the staffing is genuinely the story here: 5.45 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 41% above the national average of 3.86, which is a real cushion compared to most homes. That said, weekends drop about 18% below its own weekday level, and turnover sits at 40.2%, better than the 45.8% national figure, but still two in five staff leaving in a year, so continuity is a fair question. The inspection record shows 14 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection dated April 2026, so the record is current rather than stale.

Lake Taylor runs a government hospital-district home with 192 beds, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.90 hours per resident day, roughly 27% above the national average of 3.86. That's real coverage, though weekends drop about 19% below what the home itself staffs on weekdays, so families should ask who's actually on the floor Saturday and Sunday. Turnover is 47.3%, slightly worse than the 45.8% national figure, and inspectors have logged 24 deficiencies, two of them at harm or jeopardy level, with one $59,150 fine. The last inspection was September 2025, so the record is current. Solid clinical quality marks and thin inspection margins pull in opposite directions here.

Life Care Center of Port Orchard runs a tight ship on inspections, with a clean four-star health rating and no deficiencies at the harm level. Staffing sits just under the national average at 3.84 hours per resident day, and weekends run noticeably thinner than weekdays, worth asking about if your family member needs more help on Saturdays and Sundays. Turnover at 39.8% beats the national 45.8%, which matters for whether your parent sees the same faces month to month. Thirty-three deficiencies on record and one abuse-related finding are the blemishes. Recent inspection date means the picture is current.

Beacon Hill Rehabilitation runs 67 certified beds in Longview under corporate for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.10 hours per resident day, roughly 6% above the national average. That edge narrows on weekends, when coverage drops about 19% below the home's own weekday level, so the weekday numbers aren't the whole picture. Staff turnover is 37.5%, better than the 45.8% national rate and a real point in its favor given how hard retention is in this industry. The health inspection and quality measure ratings both come in at five stars, and the most recent inspection was in May 2026. Against that, nine deficiencies are on the current record, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, plus a single $25,350 fine.

Regency At Northpointe runs 4.72 nurse hours per resident day, about 22% above the national average, and that staffing shows in its four-out-of-five staffing stars. Weekends are thinner, though, running roughly 20% below the home's own weekday levels, so care can feel different on a Saturday. Turnover sits at 47%, just above the national 45.8%. Inspections earn four stars, with the most recent visit in August 2024, but the record holds 15 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, plus a single $8,278 fine.

Corwin Center At Emerald Heights runs 4.94 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 28% above the national average, and its staff turnover of 34.2% beats the national 45.8%, that's a stable, well-staffed building on paper. Weekends dip about 15% below weekday coverage, worth asking about if your family tends to visit then. The trouble sits elsewhere: 45 deficiencies on record, including 2 at the harm level and 4 abuse-related, plus one fine of $39,468. A 2/5 quality measure rating and a 3/5 inspection rating don't support the staffing strength. The last inspection was April 2025, so the record is current. Nonprofit ownership, strong staffing, but a deficiency history that needs direct questions.
