Heritage of Hudson runs lean on nursing hours, 3.23 per resident day, roughly 16% under the national average, and weekend coverage slips about 7% below what the home staffs on weekdays. That thin margin is what pulls its staffing rating down to 2 out of 5, even though turnover at 39.4% is actually better than the 45.8% national figure, meaning people tend to stay. The inspection record is cleaner: 8 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, no abuse findings, and a survey as recent as May 2025. For 80 beds under corporate ownership, the care side looks steady, it's the daily staffing cushion that's tight.
Bath Creek Estates sits in Cuyahoga Falls with 99 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its inspection record is genuinely solid: a 4/5 health inspection rating, 16 deficiencies on file with none at the harm or jeopardy level, and a December 2023 inspection that's still fairly recent. The staffing picture is where it gets uneven. Total nurse coverage runs 3.62 hours per resident day, about 6% under the national average, and weekends dip roughly 9% below the home's own weekday numbers, so the hours your family member gets on a Saturday won't match a Tuesday. Annual turnover of 54.2% also runs well above the 45.8% national figure, meaning caregivers cycle through faster than average. Ask how they cover weekends.
Avenue At Macedonia runs 98 certified beds under corporate ownership, and its inspection record is the part I'd want you to sit with: 34 deficiencies on the current record, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse. That's a lot of citations, and the abuse-related ones aren't paperwork problems. The health inspection rating sits at 2 out of 5, which tracks with that count. Its quality measure rating is 4 out of 5, so the clinical metrics families often see look better than the survey history does. One fine on record, $23,140. The most recent inspection was February 27, 2025, so the picture is current, not stale. If you're considering this home, ask specifically what changed after those abuse and harm citations.
Green Village runs about 3.6 nursing hours per resident day, roughly 7% under the national average, and weekend staffing dips another 6% below its own weekday coverage. That thinner weekend floor matters because turnover sits at 60.9%, well above the 45.8% national figure, so the aides and nurses cycling through are often new to the building. Its 15 deficiencies on record include nothing flagged at the harm level and nothing abuse-related, and the most recent inspection came in April 2025, so the record is fairly current. Quality measures score well; staffing is where the numbers lag.
Staffing is where Timberland Ridge runs thin. At 3.77 nurse hours per resident day, it sits just under the national average, and weekends drop about 15% below its own weekday level, so the coverage you see on a Tuesday isn't what your mother gets on a Sunday. Turnover runs 58% against a national 45.8%, meaning the aides and nurses are cycling through faster than most places.
The inspection record backs that up: 23 deficiencies, including one at harm level and one abuse-related, with the most recent survey in August 2025. The five-star quality measure score reflects how residents are doing on paper, but with 75 beds under corporate ownership and a two-star staffing rating, the day-to-day reality deserves your own visit.
Phoenix Of Fairlawn sits in Akron with 80 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership. The staffing number looks decent on paper, 4.13 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 7% above the national average, but weekends drop about 8% below the home's own weekday level, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Annual turnover hits 50%, higher than the 45.8% national figure, which means many of the aides and nurses working with your relative are still learning the building. Inspectors were last in on April 28, 2025, and the record carries 31 deficiencies, including one abuse-related citation and one at the harm level. Two fines totaling $4,922 round out the history.
Hudson Springs runs 4.13 nurse hours per resident day, which is above the national average of 3.86, but that headline number hides a staffing pattern worth asking about: weekends run about 10% thinner than weekdays, and annual turnover sits at 68.7% against a national 45.8%. That churn matters more than the raw hours, because it means the people providing care keep changing. The home’s record shows 37 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, with its last inspection in April 2026. A 4-out-of-5 quality measure score doesn’t cancel out a 2-out-of-5 staffing rating or that deficiency record. If you’re considering this one, ask directly how they cover weekends and what changed after that harm-level finding.
Brentwood Health Care Center is a 99-bed for-profit in Sagamore Hills, and the numbers tell two different stories. Its inspections and quality measures both rate well above average, with the most recent survey done in July 2025. But nurse staffing sits at 3.32 hours per resident day, roughly 14% under the national average, and drops about 16% further on weekends, which matters when families visit and needs don't pause for the calendar.
The record also carries 34 deficiencies, including six tied to abuse and one at the level of actual harm. Staff turnover runs 50%, above the national 45.8%. Good survey results are worth something, but thin weekend coverage and that deficiency history are what you'd want to ask about directly.
Altercare of Cuyahoga Falls runs 91 certified beds under corporate ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.90 hours per resident day, barely above the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 10% below its own weekday levels. That thin margin matters more when you see annual turnover at 74.1% against a national average of 45.8%, which is a lot of churn for a building this size. The health inspection record shows 33 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level but one abuse-related, with the last inspection in June 2025.
Bath Manor runs 3.72 nurse hours per resident day, a bit under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 13% below its own weekday staffing. That thin weekend coverage matters more when you look at turnover: 56% of staff left over the past year, against a national rate near 46%. The inspection record carries 46 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, with a $14,433 fine. Ownership is a for-profit corporation, and the last inspection was May 13, 2025. Families comparing options here should weigh that staffing and inspection history carefully.
Tallmadge Health & Rehab Center runs 90 certified beds as a for-profit corporation, and the numbers tell a split story. Nurse staffing sits at 3.90 hours per resident day, roughly a hair above the national average of 3.86, but weekends drop about 11% below the home's own weekday level, and annual turnover is 56.2% against a national 45.8%, meaning the people around your family member change often. The inspection record is the bigger concern: 37 deficiencies, three at harm or jeopardy level, one abuse-related, and a CMS health inspection rating of 1 out of 5, though the quality measure rating is 4 out of 5.
Nurse staffing at Arbors At Stow sits at 3.90 hours per resident day, barely above the national average of 3.86, and weekends run about 11% thinner than weekdays. More telling is the turnover: 53.8% annually against a national average of 45.8%, meaning more than half the nursing staff leaves each year. The inspection record is where things get serious, 43 deficiencies, five at harm or jeopardy level, eight involving abuse, and four fines totaling $252,801, with the most recent inspection dated March 2026. A 5/5 quality measure rating stands in odd contrast to a 1/5 inspection rating, but quality measures come from self-reported data, while inspections and fines come from what surveyors actually found.
Wyant Woods runs 180 certified beds as a for-profit corporation, and its 3.01 nurse staffing hours per resident day land about 22 percent under the national average of 3.86, with weekends dipping roughly 8 percent below its own weekday levels. Turnover sits at 40.9 percent, slightly better than the national 45.8 percent, so the issue here isn't retention as much as raw hours per resident. The inspection record carries 61 deficiencies, including 3 at harm or jeopardy level and 9 abuse-related, plus $153,317 in fines across 2 penalties, and CMS scored its last inspection 1 out of 5 in April 2025. Its quality measure rating is 5 out of 5, which can reflect charted outcomes more than day-to-day coverage.
St Luke Lutheran Community-Portage Lakes is a 56-bed nonprofit in Akron, and the numbers tell a split story. Nurse staffing sits at 3.15 hours per resident day, roughly 18% under the national average, and the weekend gap makes it thinner when families visit most. An 81% annual turnover rate, nearly double the national figure, means the people caring for your relative are likely new and still learning the building. Inspections look better: the last one was in November 2024, and the record shows 24 deficiencies, three tied to abuse and one serious enough to cause harm. High quality-measure scores and a 4-star inspection rating don't cancel out a 1-star staffing picture. Ask directly how they hold shifts together on weekends.
Wayside Farm runs on 3.04 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a fifth below the national average, and weekends dip about 11% below its own weekdays. That thin coverage shows up in the inspection record: 19 deficiencies, two at harm or jeopardy level, one tied to abuse, and $165,448 in fines across two penalties. Staff turnover, at 45.3%, is essentially the national rate, so retention isn't the outlier here, daily staffing is. The 4/5 quality measure score reflects resident care measures, but those can look fine while hands-on time lags. The last inspection was August 2024. If you're considering this one, ask directly how many nurses are on the floor on a Saturday.
The Pavilion at Stow runs about 51 beds under corporate ownership, and its staffing is the number that stands out: 3.16 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 18% under the national average of 3.86, with weekends dipping another 7% below its own weekday level. That thin coverage shows up in the 1-out-of-5 staffing rating. Turnover sits at 72.1% against a national 45.8%, so the aides and nurses cycling through are often new. Inspections last happened in August 2023, and the record carries 27 deficiencies, including one abuse-related citation, though none rose to harm or jeopardy. Health and quality measures both land mid-range at 3 stars, which suggests care isn't falling apart, but the workforce behind it keeps changing.
Highland Square is a for-profit corporation home with 91 beds, and the numbers that stand out most are the ones CMS rates lowest. Nurse staffing sits at 3.14 hours per resident day, roughly 19% under the national average, and weekends run about 9% leaner than weekdays, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Annual turnover is 61.3%, well above the 45.8% national figure, meaning the people caring for residents are often new to the building. The inspection record shows 57 deficiencies, five at harm or jeopardy level and eight tied to abuse, with $299,782 in fines across five penalties. Its quality measure rating is high, but that's self-reported data, and the last inspection was February 2025.
Twinsburg Post Acute runs 114 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and the numbers that stand out most are on the staffing side. Nurse coverage sits at 3.56 hours per resident day, roughly 8% under the national average, and weekends drop about 10% below what the home staffs on weekdays, so coverage thins out right when families tend to visit. Annual turnover of 64.3% is well above the 45.8% national figure, which means aides and nurses are cycling through regularly. The inspection record is the heavier concern: 73 deficiencies, seven of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, plus a $70,756 fine and a one-star health inspection rating. The most recent inspection was March 2024.
Hudson Elms runs on 3.17 nursing hours per resident day, roughly 18% under the national average, and weekend coverage drops another 15% below its own weekday level. Staff turnover sits at 76.3% against a national 45.8%, meaning most of the people caring for residents weren't there a year ago.
The inspection record backs that up: 45 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and six tied to abuse, with the last inspection in June 2023. Corporate ownership and one $17,610 fine round out the picture. Quality measure scores look strong on paper, but that's family-reported data, and it's hard to see how it holds up when the floor staff keeps changing.
Momentous Health At Richfield has 72 certified beds and an individual for-profit owner, and the numbers here are hard to get past. Nurse staffing sits at 3.23 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, roughly 16% below what residents elsewhere typically receive, while annual turnover hits 64% compared with 45.8% nationally, meaning most of the people providing daily care are new to the building within a year. The deficiency record is the bigger problem: 103 total, including 3 at the harm or jeopardy level and 8 abuse-related. CMS has fined this home $158,534 and placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, which is reserved for the homes with the most persistent problems.
