CMS 5/5 30 beds Non-profit Medicaid
Nurse hours

Staff turnover
36%

0

Essentia Health Grace Home runs a tight 30-bed operation in Graceville, and the staffing numbers are the story here: 4.42 nurse hours per resident day, well above the national average, with turnover at 36% compared to roughly 46% nationally. That combination matters, enough hands on deck, and staff who tend to stay. The catch is weekends, when coverage drops about a fifth below the home's own weekday level, so a Saturday shift may look thinner than a Tuesday. Eleven deficiencies on record, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, none abuse-related, and the most recent inspection was in March 2026. Quality measures land mid-range, inspections stronger. Worth asking how the weekend gap actually plays out on the floor.

Mn Veterans Home-Mpls

Minneapolis, MN · Hennepin County

Serious cites
0

The state-run Veterans Home in Minneapolis carries 341 beds and a nurse staffing level of 6.21 hours per resident day, roughly 61% above the national average of 3.86. That's a genuinely high figure, though weekend coverage drops about 11% below its own weekday pace. On its current record: 21 deficiencies, with 2 at the harm or jeopardy level and 1 flagged as abuse-related. The last inspection was April 2025, recent enough to reflect present conditions. High staffing is a real strength here, but the harm-level and abuse-related findings are the kind that matter more than any average. The quality measure rating of 4 out of 5 tracks with better clinical outcomes, yet the deficiency history is what pulls the overall picture down.

Traverse Care Center runs on 4.10 nurse hours per resident day, about 6% above the national average, and the weekend gap is real but modest at roughly 9%. Eight deficiencies sit on the current record with none at harm or jeopardy level, though one abuse-related finding is worth asking about directly. State inspectors were last in on January 14, 2026, so the picture is recent. The church-affiliated nonprofit ownership and a 44-bed size tend to mean less staff churn than corporate chains, and the staffing and quality measure ratings both come back strong.

Pearl River Co Nursing Home runs on unusually heavy staffing for a 105-bed nonprofit, 5.95 nurse hours per resident day, well above the 3.86 national figure. The catch is weekends, when hours drop roughly a quarter below the weekday pace, so coverage isn't as steady as the top-level number suggests. Staff turnover sits at 39.3%, better than the 45.8% national average, which matters for residents who value seeing the same faces. Nine deficiencies on record, none at harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related. The last inspection came in February 2025, so the picture is current.

Havenwood-Heritage Heights runs a lean nonprofit shop of 70 beds, and its nurse staffing sits at 5.23 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, roughly a third more hands-on time than the typical home. The catch is weekends, when coverage drops about 5% below its own weekday pace, so timing matters if you're visiting or checking in. State inspectors last walked through in April 2026 and left seven deficiencies on the record, none at the harm level and none tied to abuse, though the two-star inspection rating says the paperwork and process side isn't as clean as the clinical numbers. On measures like falls and infections, it performs well above average.

Yorktown Rehabilitation & Nursing Center

Nurse hours

Staff turnover
33%
Serious cites
0

Yorktown Rehabilitation & Nursing Center runs 200 certified beds in Cortlandt Manor, and its staffing sits just barely above the national average, 3.91 nurse hours per resident day against 3.86 nationally. That thin margin is worth knowing, because weekends here run about 17 percent below the home's own weekday staffing, so the coverage families see on a Saturday may not match what the average suggests. Staff turnover is the brighter spot: 33 percent against a national average of 45.8 percent, meaning workers stick around longer than at the typical home. But the inspection record carries 19 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, with the last inspection in January 2024.

Jamaica Hospital Nursing Home runs on numbers that mostly hold up. Nurse staffing sits at 3.85 hours per resident day, essentially level with the national average, and the weekend dip of about 15% is worth asking about, that's when families tend to visit and when coverage quietly thins out. What stands apart is the turnover: 14.5% against a national average near 46%, meaning the people caring for your relative are more likely to still be there next year. Seven deficiencies on record, one serious enough to involve harm, and a single fine under $9,000. Inspectors were last in this past February, so the picture is current.

If you want the numbers that actually matter here, start with nurse staffing: 7.23 hours per resident per day against a national average of 3.86. Even with weekends running about 14 percent lighter than weekdays, that leaves a floor most homes never reach. The inspection record is clean, zero deficiencies, none tied to harm or abuse, with the most recent visit in December 2025. State-run ownership shows up in how steady the place is, not in frills. Quality measures land at 4 out of 5, which is strong without being flawless. What you're looking at is a home that's well above average on the things families worry about most.

Strasburg Nursing Home runs a tight ship on staffing: 4.49 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 16% above the national average, and the federal staffing rating reflects that. Weekend coverage dips about 16% below its own weekday level, so ask how that plays out on Saturdays and Sundays. The inspection record shows 15 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, though two are abuse-related, worth asking about directly. Staff turnover sits at 50%, above the 45.8% national average. With 30 beds, this is a small nonprofit where you can likely get straight answers from the people in charge.

Wesley Woods At New Albany runs just 16 certified beds under church-related nonprofit ownership, and the staffing numbers stand out: 7.12 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 84 percent above the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips about 18 percent below its own weekday level, so ask how that plays out on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover sits at 46.4 percent, essentially matching the national 45.8 percent. Twelve deficiencies appear on the current record, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, with the last inspection in June 2025. Small, well-staffed, and inspected recently, the tradeoff is that a 16-bed home has little room to absorb a bad week.

South Mountain Restoration Center runs 5.65 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 46 percent more than the national average of 3.86. That staffing depth shows up in the federal stars: five out of five for staffing and five for health inspections, with quality measures at four. The current record carries six deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none tied to abuse. Weekend coverage does thin out by about 22 percent against weekdays, and turnover sits at 50.4 percent, a bit above the national 45.8 percent. As a state-run home with a September 2025 inspection behind it, the core picture here is consistent coverage and a clean harm record, with weekend shifts worth asking about directly.

Staff turnover
27%
Serious cites

Pruitthealth-Barnwell runs a tight ship on the things that matter most. State inspectors visited in June 2025 and found just two deficiencies, neither of which caused harm or involved abuse, the kind of record that's genuinely uncommon among for-profit corporate homes. Staffing sits right at the national line, 3.84 hours per resident day against 3.86, though weekends run about 17% leaner than weekdays, so a Saturday shift isn't the same as a Tuesday one. What stands out is turnover: 27.3% against a national average of 45.8% means aides and nurses here tend to stay, and that continuity usually shows up in how residents are actually cared for.

Avera Maryhouse Long Term Care in Pierre runs on unusually deep nursing coverage, 4.62 hours per resident day, roughly a fifth more than the national figure, and its most recent inspection in September 2025 backs that up with a clean record on harm-level deficiencies. Nine total deficiencies with none causing injury or jeopardy is a good place to be, though one abuse-related citation is worth asking about directly. Staff turnover sits at 46.6%, essentially level with the national rate, so continuity of caregivers isn't unusually bad here, but it isn't a strength either. Weekend staffing drops about 16% below weekday levels, which is common but still means fewer hands on Saturdays and Sundays.

The Oaks At Timberline runs a tight ship on the clinical side, 4.07 nursing hours per resident day, about 6 percent above the national average, with a 5/5 on health inspections and another 5/5 on quality measures. There's a catch worth knowing: weekend staffing drops roughly 16 percent below its weekday level, so coverage isn't perfectly even across the week, even though the overall number looks strong. Staff turnover sits at 27.6 percent, well below the 45.8 percent national figure, which suggests people stick around. The 14 deficiencies on record carry no harm or jeopardy findings and nothing abuse-related. A corporate for-profit operator, inspected most recently in March 2026.

Caroline Kline Galland Home runs on unusually heavy nurse staffing, 6.21 hours per resident day, roughly 61% above the national average, with weekends dipping about 12% below its own weekday pace. That kind of coverage usually shows up in the quality numbers, and it does here: the quality measure rating sits at the top. The tradeoff is on the inspection side, where 35 deficiencies are on record, including one abuse-related finding and none flagged at the harm or jeopardy level. The last survey was in March 2026. This is a nonprofit home in Seattle with strong day-to-day care numbers and a survey history worth asking about directly.

Dove Healthcare - Rice Lake runs 4.48 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 16% more than the national average of 3.86, and its weekend staffing dips about 11% below its own weekday level. The home carries a 5/5 CMS health inspection rating and a 5/5 quality measure rating, with three deficiencies on record, none at harm or jeopardy level, one abuse-related, and its most recent inspection was August 13, 2025. It's a for-profit limited liability company with 50 certified beds. The staffing star comes in lower, at 3/5, which is worth asking about given how much weight the raw hours carry here.

Surprise Valley Community Hospital's skilled nursing unit is a 22-bed government-run operation in Cedarville, and the staffing numbers here tell an unusual story. Total nursing time runs 4.87 hours per resident day, roughly a quarter above the national average, with weekends barely dipping below weekday coverage, which matters in a small rural home where backup staff aren't easy to call in. Inspections in May 2025 turned up 22 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, though four were abuse-related; that's a lot of paperwork findings for a building this size, and worth asking about directly. The hospital district owns it, so there's no corporate parent to chase if something goes wrong.

Bayside runs a five-star health inspection and a five-star quality measure rating, and its 17 deficiencies on file carry no harm or jeopardy findings and nothing abuse-related, a clean record, especially with an inspection as recent as December 2025. Nurse staffing sits at 4.81 hours per resident day, roughly a quarter above the national average, though weekends drop about 17% below its own weekday coverage, which matters if your family visits on Saturdays. Turnover at 43.3% edges just under the national figure, unremarkable for a for-profit limited liability company. The weak spot is staffing depth relative to the rest.

West Anaheim Medical Center's skilled nursing unit runs on unusually heavy staffing, 11.28 nurse hours per resident day, roughly triple the national figure, and its staff actually stay, with turnover near 12% against a national rate closer to 46%. Weekend coverage dips about 9% below its own weekday level, a modest drop given the overall cushion. The tradeoff shows up in its record: 46 deficiencies, two tied to abuse, though none rose to the level of actual harm or jeopardy. State inspectors were last in on March 27, 2026, and the home holds four stars for inspections and five for staffing.

Citrus Heights Health Center runs on a nonprofit model with just 32 certified beds, and the numbers suggest that small size works in its favor. Nurse staffing sits at 5.12 hours per resident day, about a third higher than the national average of 3.86, though weekend coverage drops roughly 12% below its own weekday level, worth asking about if your family visits mainly on Saturdays or Sundays. The home was inspected recently, in August 2025, and its 16 deficiencies include none at the harm or jeopardy level, plus one abuse-related citation. That staffing consistency, along with a clean recent inspection, is what's actually behind the grade.
