Northwest Manor Health Care Center

Indianapolis, IN · Marion County

CMS 3/5 126 beds Government Medicaid
Nurse hours

Staff turnover
24%
Serious cites
0

Northwest Manor is county-owned, which is unusual in this business, and it shows in the workforce: only 24.2% of staff left last year, well under the national rate of 45.8%. Nurse staffing sits at 3.96 hours per resident day, running slightly above the national average, though weekends dip about 14% below the home's own weekday coverage. The tradeoff is on inspections. Sixteen deficiencies sit on the current record, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and the health inspection rating is 2 out of 5. Quality measures score 5 out of 5, and the last inspection was May 13, 2026. Stable staff, respectable daily coverage, but a survey history worth asking about directly.

Westminster Village - West Lafayette

West Lafayette, IN · Tippecanoe County

CMS 3/5 72 beds Non-profit Medicaid
Nurse hours

Staff turnover
39%
Serious cites
0

Westminster Village runs one of the better staffing operations you'll find in Indiana, 5.47 nurse hours per resident day, well above the national average, and weekend coverage only dips about 6% below weekdays, which matters because that's where a lot of homes cut corners. Turnover sits at 39.3%, better than the national rate. The trouble is the inspection record: 15 deficiencies, one serious enough to cause harm, and a $72,545 fine. A recent January 2026 inspection means that record is fresh, not stale. Strong hands-on care, but a survey history that suggests problems with how care gets delivered and documented. Worth asking the administrator directly about that harm-level finding before you decide.

Nurse hours

Staff turnover
28%
Serious cites
0

Good Samaritan in Oakland City runs on a nonprofit model with 103 certified beds, and the staffing picture is genuinely solid, 3.96 nurse hours per resident day puts it modestly above the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips about 12% from weekday levels, which is common but worth knowing if you're visiting on a Saturday. What stands out most is retention: 27.5% annual turnover against a national average of 45.8% suggests people stay here, and that continuity matters for residents who need consistent caregivers. Nine deficiencies on record with none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, plus a recent March 2026 inspection, is a relatively clean sheet. The quality measure score of 5/5 reinforces that the clinical outcomes are tracking well.

Lutheran Life Villages runs about 4.08 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 6% above the national average, and its staff retention is stronger than most, 33% turnover against a national 45.8%. Weekend coverage dips about 9% below weekday levels, so ask how that plays out on Sundays and holidays. The 11 deficiencies on record include three tied to abuse, though none rose to harm or jeopardy, and the most recent inspection was August 2025. Quality measures score well; the health inspection side is more mixed. As a nonprofit, it answers to a board rather than shareholders, which tends to shape how it spends on direct care.

Serious cites
0

Ridgewood Health Campus runs on 4.59 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 19% more than the national average, and its weekend staffing stays within about 4% of weekday levels, a gap that tends to widen at homes with thinner coverage. Staff turnover sits at 23.2%, about half the national rate, which matters because consistent caregivers learn residents' routines. The tradeoff shows up in inspections: 16 deficiencies on the current record, though none at the harm level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in July 2025. The quality measure rating is strong, staffing solid, inspection record middling. Corporate-owned and for-profit, 71 beds.

Manly Specialty Care runs a nonprofit home with 44 certified beds, and the staffing picture is mixed. Nurses provide 3.60 hours per resident day, roughly 7% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 8% below the home's own weekday coverage. Retention is a genuine strength: 27% turnover against a national 45.8%. Where the record gets concerning is inspections, a 2-out-of-5 health inspection rating, 21 deficiencies on file including one at the harm level and four tied to abuse, plus a $13,627 fine. The most recent inspection was March 5, 2026. Steady caregivers matter, but the enforcement history is what a family should ask about directly.

Lake Mills Care Center

Staff turnover

Serious cites
0

Lake Mills Care Center runs 61 certified beds under corporate ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.62 hours per resident day, roughly 6% under 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. Turnover is the bright spot: 25% annually against a national 45.8%, meaning aides and nurses here tend to stay. The inspection record shows six deficiencies, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, with nothing abuse-related; the last survey was April 2026. Quality measures score well, but staffing and health inspection results both land mid-range, which is what holds this home back from the top tier.

Westview Of Indianola Care Center

Indianola, IA · Warren County

Serious cites

Westview Of Indianola runs about 4.00 nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the national average, and weekend coverage dips roughly 7% below its own weekday level, worth asking about if your family visits mainly on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover sits at 27.8%, well under the national 45.8%, which matters because consistent caregivers know residents' routines. The inspection record is clean: zero deficiencies, none at the harm level, none abuse-related, with the last visit in December 2025. It's a for-profit LLC with 71 beds, and on the federal stars it earns fives for inspections and quality measures, four for staffing.

0

Eastern Star Masonic Home runs on 4.13 nurse staffing hours per resident day, about 7% above the national average, and turnover sits at 39.5%, lower than the 45.8% typical elsewhere. Those are real strengths. The trade-offs show up in the inspection record: 19 deficiencies, two of them abuse-related, though none rose to actual harm or jeopardy. Weekend staffing drops roughly 13% below its own weekday level, so care can thin out on Saturdays and Sundays. The last inspection was in April 2025, so the picture is reasonably current. For a 76-bed nonprofit in Boone, this reads as a generally solid home with a specific weekend and abuse-reporting pattern worth asking about directly.

Halcyon House sits in Washington, Iowa, with 54 certified beds and a nonprofit owner. The staffing numbers are strong, 4.25 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 10% above the national average, with weekend coverage dipping about 11% below weekdays. Turnover runs 40%, better than the 45.8% national figure, and CMS gives top marks for staffing and quality measures. The tension is in inspections: a 2/5 health inspection rating, five deficiencies on record, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level. No abuse citations. The most recent inspection was March 2026. Good hands on deck, but the survey history is where the concern lives.

Algona Manor Care Center runs 46 beds under corporate ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.62 hours per resident day, roughly 6% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 8% below its own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. Turnover is the brighter spot: 33.3% against a national 45.8%, meaning aides and nurses here tend to stay longer than is typical. The inspection record is current (June 2025) with 12 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related, worth asking about directly. A 4/5 inspection rating and 5/5 quality measures round out a solid, if not richly staffed, picture.

Heritage House runs a nonprofit operation with 61 beds in Atlantic, and the staffing numbers are the first thing worth noticing. At 3.96 nurse hours per resident day, it sits just above the national average, and weekend coverage dips about 11% below its own weekday level, a gap families should ask about directly. Staff turnover is 33.3%, well under the 45.8% national figure, which matters for whether your parent sees the same faces week to week. The inspection record shows 11 deficiencies, none involving harm or abuse, with the most recent state visit in September 2025. Ownership is nonprofit, which often means steadier budgets and less pressure to trim direct care hours.

Brooklyn Community Estates

Brooklyn, IA · Poweshiek County

CMS 5/5 50 beds For-profit Medicaid
Nurse hours

Staff turnover

Brooklyn Community Estates runs a tight ship on inspections, one deficiency on its current record, none involving harm or abuse, and a survey done just this year. Turnover tells a similar story: 25.7% is well under the national average of 45.8%, so the people caring for residents tend to stick around. Where it gives ground is daily staffing hours, which sit about 10% below the national average, and weekends run roughly 11% thinner than weekdays. That combination, steady, experienced staff but fewer of them on the floor, especially Saturdays and Sundays, is the main tradeoff here. For a 50-bed for-profit home, the compliance record is the strong part.

Lexington Park runs on 4.52 nurse hours per resident per day, about 17% above the national average, and weekend staffing dips only around 8% below its own weekday level, a modest drop, though it's worth asking how coverage holds up on Sundays. Turnover sits at 39.5%, better than the 45.8% national figure but still meaning roughly two in five caregivers leaving in a year, which matters for how well staff know residents. The inspection record is the strongest signal here: a 5/5 health inspection rating with just 8 deficiencies on file, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, from an inspection dated April 2026. Corporate-owned and for-profit, but the numbers back it up.

Meadowlark Hills runs a strong clinical floor: 4.51 nursing hours per resident day, roughly 17 percent above the national average, with top marks in staffing and quality measures. Inspections are recent and the health inspection rating sits at 4 of 5, but the record isn't spotless, 30 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one tied to abuse, plus a single $8,278 fine. Staff turnover at 48.8 percent edges past the national 45.8, and weekend coverage dips about 7 percent below weekday levels. The nonprofit ownership and recent survey work in its favor; the abuse-related finding and churn are what a family should ask about directly.

Sharon Lane runs lean on nursing hours, 3.58 per resident per day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 12% below what the home staffs on weekdays. What offsets that is retention: turnover sits at 32.6%, well under the 45.8% national figure, so the people providing that care tend to stick around. The inspection record backs it up: 16 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent look from regulators in November 2025. For-profit, LLC-owned, 78 beds, in Shawnee. The staffing numbers say watch the weekends; the rest says this is a stable building.

Weekend coverage dips about 11% below its own weekday level, which is common but worth knowing if you're planning visits. Annual turnover sits at 26.8%, well under the national 45.8%, so the people caring for residents tend to stay. The current record shows seven deficiencies, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, with an inspection as recent as August 2025.

The Apostolic Christian Home in Sabetha is a 76-bed nonprofit run by a church, and its staffing is the strongest part of the picture: 4.15 nurse hours per resident day, about 8% above the national average, with a 5-out-of-5 staffing rating and turnover at 41%, better than the 45.8% national figure. Weekends run roughly 11% leaner than weekdays, which is common but worth knowing if your visits fall on Saturdays or Sundays. The caution is inspections: a 2-out-of-5 health inspection rating, 30 deficiencies on the current record, including two at the harm level and one abuse-related, plus a $13,397 fine. The most recent inspection was December 18, 2024, so that record is fairly fresh.

Pleasant View Home runs 122 certified beds in Inman under church-related nonprofit ownership, and its record is mixed in ways that matter. The staffing picture is the weak spot: a one-star CMS staffing rating against a turnover rate of 46.3%, slightly worse than the 45.8% national average. Inspections from October 2024 turned up 22 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and five tied to abuse, a serious count for a single home. Quality measures score well at four stars, and the three-star inspection rating suggests surveyors found problems that weren't severe across the board. The nonprofit, church-affiliated structure may mean steadier local oversight than a chain, but it hasn't translated into stable staffing or a clean survey history. Ask about the abuse deficiencies and turnover directly.

Quaker Hill Manor runs 53 certified beds in Baxter Springs under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers behind its grade are mostly steady. Nurse staffing sits at 3.78 hours per resident day, a hair under the national 3.86, and weekends dip about 11% below its own weekday levels, worth asking about if your family visits Saturdays and Sundays. The 42.9% annual turnover is actually slightly better than the national 45.8%. On inspections, a December 2025 visit is recent, and its 20 deficiencies include none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, which matters more than the raw count. All three CMS star ratings, health inspection, quality measures, and staffing, land at 4 out of 5.
