Country View Living runs on a government hospital district license in Dimmitt, and the numbers behind its record are unusually steady. Nurse staffing sits at 4.63 hours per resident day, roughly a fifth above the national average, and weekends dip only about 10% below its own weekday level, a smaller drop than many homes show. Staff turnover is 37.9%, well under the 45.8% national figure, and its eight deficiencies include nothing at the harm or jeopardy level and nothing abuse-related. A December 2025 inspection is recent, and the five-star marks across health, quality, and staffing come from those same federal figures.

The Green House Cottages Of Wentworth Place runs on unusually strong staffing for a for-profit LLC home: 5.02 nurse hours per resident day, about 30% above the national average, with weekend coverage dipping roughly 16% below its own weekday level. Turnover sits at 29.9%, well under the 45.8% national figure, which matters for consistency of care. Inspections back it up, a 5/5 health inspection rating, 13 deficiencies on record but none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the last inspection dated March 12, 2026. The 126-bed home also earns 5/5 on quality measures. The weekend staffing gap is the one thing worth asking about directly.

Staff turnover

0

Merced Behavioral Center runs 96 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the turnover number is the one that stands out: 17.8% annually against a national average of 45.8%. That kind of stability matters more than most families realize, because consistent caregivers notice changes in a resident before anyone else does. Nurse staffing sits at 3.74 hours per resident day, about 3% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends run roughly 19% leaner than weekdays, so coverage thins out when families tend to visit. Inspections in February 2025 produced 17 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, with none tied to abuse.

Moundridge Manor runs on church-affiliated nonprofit ownership and 4.86 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter more staffing than the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips about 17% below its own weekday level, which is worth asking about if your family visits Saturdays or Sundays. Staff turnover is 19.8%, less than half the national 45.8%, so the people caring for residents tend to stay. The record isn't spotless: seven deficiencies, two of them at harm or jeopardy level, and one fine of $20,295. No abuse citations, and the last inspection was September 2024. Strong staffing and low turnover are doing real work here; the harm-level findings are the part to raise directly with the administrator.

Marion Regional runs a tight ship on staffing. At 4.26 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 10% above the national average, and a 20.6% turnover rate is less than half the national figure of 45.8%, that kind of stability usually means residents see the same faces. Weekends dip about 14% below the home's own weekday coverage, worth asking about if your family visits then. The tradeoff shows up in inspections: 13 deficiencies on record, including one abuse-related, and a 2-star health inspection rating from CMS. None of those deficiencies rose to harm or jeopardy level, and the most recent inspection was February 2025, so the record is current. A nonprofit operator with strong staffing and a recent, mostly low-level survey history.

Staff turnover sits at 36.8%, lower than the 45.8% national figure, and the home carries six deficiencies with none at the harm or jeopardy level and none related to abuse. A 5/5 inspection rating, a 4/5 on quality measures, and a September 2025 inspection round out a record that's unusually clean for a 28-bed city-run home in Homer.

The Skilled Nursing Unit at Oro Valley Hospital runs 5.57 nurse hours per resident day, about 44 percent above the national average of 3.86, that's the kind of staffing margin that shows up in everyday care, not just on paper. Weekend hours dip roughly 8 percent below weekdays, though the floor stays well above average even then, and turnover at 40.8 percent sits under the national 45.8 percent. Nine deficiencies are on record with none at the harm level and none abuse-related, and a 5-star inspection rating from a May 2026 survey is about as current as it gets. For-profit corporate ownership, 33 beds, and a clean inspection history together explain the grade without any single number carrying it.

South Marin runs 4.42 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 15% above the national average, and its staff turnover of 37.8% sits well below the typical 45.8%, both point to a home that keeps people and keeps them present. Weekend staffing dips about 13% from weekday levels, which is worth asking about directly. The 37 deficiencies on record include one tied to abuse, though none reached harm or jeopardy, and the most recent inspection was December 2025. Quality measures score 5/5 while inspections score 3/5, a split that suggests the day-to-day care looks stronger than the paperwork trail. As a for-profit LLC with 72 beds, it's worth asking who owns it and how long they've been there.

Virgil Rehabilitation runs 5.17 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a third more than the national average, and its staff turnover of 19.4% is less than half the national figure, retention like that usually shows up in daily care. Weekend staffing dips about 8% below weekdays, worth asking about if your family visits Saturdays or Sundays. The trouble sits in inspections: 49 deficiencies on record, including two at harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, with a 1-out-of-5 inspection rating despite strong marks on quality measures and staffing. The most recent inspection was February 2026, so the record is current, not stale. Corporate-owned and for-profit, this is a home where the care numbers look better than the oversight history.

The Jewish Home & Rehab Center runs 362 beds on a nonprofit model, and its nurse staffing sits at 5.20 hours per resident day, roughly a third more than the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips about 14% below its own weekday levels, and staff turnover comes in at 25.6% against a national 45.8%, so the same caregivers are likelier to still be there next year. What pulls against that picture is the inspection record: 52 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and seven tied to abuse, with the most recent inspection dated February 2026. Strong staffing and low turnover are real advantages, but the abuse-related findings are the part worth asking about directly.

Turnover sits at 31.7%, well under the 45.8% national figure, which matters for anyone who wants the same faces showing up.

Turnover sits at 42.9%, slightly better than the national 45.8%. What complicates the picture is the inspection record, 44 deficiencies, one at harm or jeopardy level, four tied to abuse, and a 2/5 health inspection rating, despite 5/5 marks on staffing and quality measures. A single fine of $7,542 is on file, and the most recent inspection was December 5, 2025. For-profit partnership ownership.

Turnover sits at 27.7% against a national 45.8%, so the people around your relative are more likely to still be there next year. The tradeoff shows up in the inspection record, 41 deficiencies, including one tied to abuse, though none rose to harm or jeopardy level, and the most recent state visit was November 2025. Clinical quality measures score at the top of CMS's scale; the health inspection star sits at 3.

Piedmont Gardens runs on a nonprofit model with 94 certified beds, and the staffing numbers are where it separates itself. At 4.76 nurse hours per resident day, it sits roughly 23 percent above the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage only dips about 5 percent below its own weekday levels, which is a smaller drop than many homes manage. Staff turnover tells a similar story: 21.2 percent against a national average of 45.8 percent, meaning the people caring for residents tend to stay. Eleven deficiencies appear on the current record, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in January 2025. For a family weighing options, the pattern here is steady hands and few red flags.

This is a for-profit limited liability company with 98 certified beds, and its federal ratings split sharply: five stars each for staffing and quality measures, three for health inspections, strong day-to-day care numbers sitting alongside a longer inspection history.

Staff turnover sits at 13.7% against a national average near 46%, which matters more than any single inspection score because consistent caregivers tend to notice problems early. The tradeoff is in the inspection history, 37 deficiencies on the current record, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse, plus an $8,018 fine.
