The Willows At Hamburg

Lexington, KY · Fayette County

Nurse hours
5.24 /day
Staff turnover
43%
Serious cites
0

The Willows At Hamburg runs 5.24 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly a third more than the national average, and weekend staffing doesn't drop off like it does at many homes. Turnover sits slightly under the national figure. That's the good news, and it's real. The inspection record tells a different story: 7 deficiencies, two of them serious enough to put residents at harm or jeopardy, and two tied to abuse. One fine of $61,627 is on file, and the last inspection was August 2025. A for-profit individual owner, 64 beds. Strong staffing doesn't cancel out what inspectors found, the care hours are there, but the state has documented real problems, including abuse-related ones. Ask about those directly.

John J Hainkel Jr Home And Rehabilitation Center

New Orleans, LA · Orleans County

CMS 5/5 142 beds Non-profit Medicaid
Nurse hours

Staff turnover
38%
Serious cites
0

John J Hainkel Jr Home runs on 4.40 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 14% above the national average, and it shows in the federal staffing rating. Weekend coverage dips about 14% below the home's own weekday level, a pattern worth asking about if your family visits on Saturdays and Sundays. The nonprofit's staff turnover sits at 37.6%, better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters because consistent caregivers tend to know residents' routines. Six deficiencies appear on the current record, none at harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related and worth reading in full. The last inspection was April 2026.

Staff turnover
33%
Serious cites
0

Augusta Center for Health & Rehabilitation runs 72 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its staffing sits modestly above the national average at 3.99 nurse hours per resident per day. That edge is real but thin, and weekends run about 8% lighter than weekdays, worth knowing if your visits tend to fall on Saturdays or Sundays. Staff turnover lands at 33.3%, noticeably better than the 45.8% national figure, which suggests less churn in who's actually showing up to provide care. The current inspection record carries 30 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, plus a single fine of $10,059. No abuse-related findings appear. The most recent inspection was February 5, 2026, so the picture is reasonably current.

St. Andre runs leaner than most places on turnover, about a third of its staff leaves each year against a national rate closer to 46%, which matters more than any single inspection score. Nurse hours per resident land at 4.24 a day, roughly a tenth above the national average, though weekends dip about 10% below what the home staffs during the week. Its record shows 11 deficiencies, none involving harm or abuse, and the most recent state visit came in June 2025. The one soft spot in the federal data is quality measures, where it scores near the bottom.

Serious cites
0

Maine Veterans Home in Scarborough runs a tight ship on the staffing side, 4.84 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter above what's typical nationally, and its recent inspection history backs that up. State surveyors found nine deficiencies at the last visit in November 2024, but none rose to the level of actual harm or jeopardy, and there's nothing abuse-related on the record. Turnover sits at 36.4%, meaningfully better than the 45.8% national figure, though weekend coverage does dip about 13% below weekday levels, which is worth asking about. The one soft spot is the quality measure score, which lags at 2 out of 5 stars even as inspections and staffing both hit the top mark.

Glenridge in Augusta runs a nonprofit operation with 125 certified beds, and the staffing numbers are the strongest part of the picture: 4.33 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 12% above the national average, with weekend coverage dipping about 8% below its own weekday level. Turnover sits at 31.8%, well under the 45.8% national figure, which matters for consistency of care. The tradeoff shows up in the quality measures, where CMS scores it 2 out of 5. Inspections came back 4 out of 5, and the 19 deficiencies on record include none at the harm or jeopardy level and none related to abuse. The last inspection was March 26, 2026.

Nurse hours

Eastport Memorial is a 26-bed nonprofit home where the day-to-day care numbers look better than the inspection record. Nurse staffing runs 4.06 hours per resident day, roughly 5% above the national average, and the 38.7% turnover rate beats the 45.8% national figure, so you're not looking at a chronically short-staffed building. Weekends dip about 7% below weekday coverage, worth asking about directly. The catch is the paperwork trail: 47 deficiencies on the current record, including two abuse-related findings, though none rose to harm or jeopardy level. The last inspection was February 2026. A 2-star health inspection rating against 4-star staffing and quality scores tells you the care is there but the compliance side has been messy.

0

Mid Coast Senior Health Center runs a tight ship on the clinical side. Its last inspection was in August 2025, and the 12 deficiencies on record include none at the harm or jeopardy level, one is abuse-related, which is worth asking about directly. Nurse staffing sits at 4.54 hours per resident day, roughly 18% above the national average, though weekends run about 11% lighter than weekdays, so coverage isn't perfectly flat. The bigger number to sit with is turnover: 57.4% against a national average of 45.8%. People are leaving faster than at a typical home. As a nonprofit with 42 beds, it's small enough that you can ask pointed questions about who's actually on the floor on a Saturday.

Future Care Old Court runs 3.63 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 6% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 10% below its own weekday staffing. Turnover sits at 35.3%, better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters because consistent caregivers tend to know residents and catch changes early. The health inspection record is strong, a 5/5 CMS rating with no deficiencies at the harm or jeopardy level. But the current file holds 22 deficiencies total, three tied to abuse, and it's a for-profit corporate home. The last inspection was March 17, 2026. Ask about those three abuse-related citations and how weekend coverage is actually staffed before deciding.

Future Care Cherrywood

Reisterstown, MD · Baltimore County

Nurse hours

Staff turnover
53%
Serious cites
0

Future Care Cherrywood sits in Reisterstown with 151 certified beds and a for-profit LLC structure, and its staffing works out to 3.85 nurse hours per resident day, essentially dead even with the national average. The catch is weekends, when coverage drops about 11% below its own weekday pace. Staff turnover runs 53.3% against a national 45.8%, so people are leaving faster than usual. Inspections tell a mixed story: a recent October 2025 visit and strong marks on health inspection and quality measures, but 66 deficiencies on record, including eight tied to abuse and one at the harm level. That combination, good survey scores alongside a long deficiency history and steady churn, is what pulls the grade down from perfect.

Lorien Health Systems Mt Airy

Lorien Health Systems Mt Airy runs on unusually heavy staffing, 5.01 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 30% above the national figure, and its workers tend to stay, with turnover at 34.8% against a national 45.8%. Weekend coverage does dip about 12% below weekday levels. The inspection record is decent but not spotless: 42 deficiencies on file, none at harm or jeopardy level, one abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in August 2025. Quality measures are the weak spot here, though the corporation that owns it keeps the place well staffed. For a 62-bed home, the hands-on care is the real story.

Little Sisters Of The Poor runs just 20 certified beds in Baltimore, and the nurse staffing number stands out: 7.25 hours per resident day, roughly double the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips about 11% below its own weekday level, and staff turnover sits at 33.3%, which is better than the 45.8% national figure. What tempers the picture is the quality measure rating of 1 out of 5, alongside 25 deficiencies on the current record, none at the harm or jeopardy level, but one flagged as abuse-related. The last inspection was June 25, 2025. Ownership is for-profit, individual. Strong hands-on staffing and a clean harm record, with a quality-measure score and a deficiency count that deserve a closer look before you decide.

Jeffrey & Susan Brudnick Center for Living runs on real staffing depth: 4.58 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 19% above the national average, with weekend coverage dipping only about 6% below its own weekday levels. Turnover sits at 27.2% against a national average of 45.8%, which matters more than any single inspection score because consistent caregivers notice changes in residents sooner. The current record shows 19 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy, and a single fine of $10,194. The last inspection was April 2026, so the picture is recent rather than stale. For a 180-bed nonprofit, the numbers describe a home that's well staffed and mostly clean on paper, with one incident worth asking about directly.

Madonna Manor is run by a church-affiliated nonprofit, and its staffing numbers stand out for the right reason: 4.03 nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the national average, and turnover of 14.7% against a national rate near 46%. Weekend coverage dips about 7% below weekday levels, which is worth asking about if your visits fall on Saturdays or Sundays. The inspection record is the counterweight, 29 deficiencies on file, five of them at harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, with two fines totaling $119,373. Its last inspection was September 2025, so the picture is current. Stable caregivers, meaningful citations.

Cambridge Rehabilitation & Nursing Center runs 83 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers here are mostly steady rather than standout. Nurse staffing sits at 3.54 hours per resident day, roughly 8% under the national average of 3.86, with weekends dipping about 6% below the home's own weekday levels, so coverage thins out when families tend to visit. Turnover is the brighter spot: 33.8% against a national average of 45.8%, meaning the aides and nurses you meet are more likely to still be there next year. Inspections in June 2025 turned up 22 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, though two were abuse-related.

Life Care Center Of Nashoba Valley runs on 4.22 nurse hours per resident day, about 9% above the national average, and its staff turnover of 38.5% sits below the national 45.8%, both signs of a steadier operation than most. Weekend staffing drops roughly 13% from weekday levels, so ask how that plays out on Saturdays and Sundays. The record shows 15 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related, worth a direct question. Inspectors were last in on August 14, 2025.

Pope Nursing Home runs a 49-bed for-profit outfit in Weymouth with staffing that beats the national average, 4.14 nurse hours per resident day against 3.86, and turnover at 32.5% is notably better than the 45.8% typical elsewhere. Weekend coverage, though, drops about 11% below its own weekday level, so care can thin out when families visit. The tradeoff shows up in inspections: 23 deficiencies on the current record, including one abuse-related citation, though none reached harm or jeopardy level, and the last state visit was April 2025. Ownership is corporate, and the health inspection rating sits at 2 out of 5 even as staffing scores 4. Ask about weekend coverage and that abuse citation specifically.

Medilodge Of Clare runs a 92-bed for-profit operation, and the staffing numbers are basically at the national mark, 3.89 nurse hours per resident day against 3.86, so there's no real cushion there, and weekends dip about 15% below its own weekdays, which is when families tend to visit and notice. Turnover sits at 46.8%, slightly above the national 45.8%. The inspection record shows 10 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one tied to abuse, plus a single fine of $10,059. The last inspection was April 2026, so the picture is current. Strong marks on quality measures and inspections, but that harm-level finding and the weekend staffing gap are what you'd want to ask about directly.

Pleasant View is county-owned, and the numbers suggest the public operator is running it well. Nurse staffing sits at 3.97 hours per resident day, a bit above the national average, though weekends run about 11% leaner than weekdays, worth asking about if your family member needs more attention on Saturdays and Sundays. The inspection record is the strongest signal: five deficiencies on file, none at the harm level, none tied to abuse, and a survey completed in June 2025, so the picture is current rather than stale. Staff turnover lands at 46.3%, essentially the national rate, not a red flag, not a standout. Five stars on both health inspections and quality measures back that up.

Staff turnover

Oakview runs on county money, and the numbers show where that goes: 4.87 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter more than the national average, with a five-star staffing rating to match. Weekends dip about 15% below weekdays, which is worth asking about if your family visits then. Turnover sits at 39.4%, better than the 45.8% national figure but still meaning new faces fairly often. The inspection record is solid, four stars, 11 deficiencies and none at the harm level, though two abuse-related citations exist and deserve a direct question. Quality measures score low at 2/5, and that's the piece to press on: staffing is strong, but the clinical outcomes those hours produce don't track with it.
