Deupree Cottages runs on a small scale, 24 certified beds under nonprofit ownership, and the staffing numbers reflect that attention. At 5.39 nurse hours per resident day, it sits roughly 40% above the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage stays within about 10% of its weekday level, so care doesn't thin out when families tend to visit. Staff turnover tells its own story: 15.8% against a national 45.8% means aides and nurses are staying put, which matters for residents who depend on familiar faces. Thirteen deficiencies on record with none at the harm level and none abuse-related, plus a July 2025 inspection, round out a picture of a home that's both well-staffed and recently reviewed.

Mcv Health Care Facilities runs on church-affiliated nonprofit ownership, and the numbers reflect that stability. Nurse staffing sits at 5.60 hours per resident day, roughly 45% above the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage dips only about 12% below weekday levels, a gap that's smaller than what many homes show. Staff turnover is 29.3%, well under the national 45.8%, which matters because consistent caregivers know residents' routines. The inspection record shows 8 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the last visit in November 2023. All three CMS star ratings, health inspection, quality measures, and staffing, come in at 5 out of 5.

Mohun Health Care Center runs on unusually deep nurse coverage: 5.48 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends dip only about 8% below its own weekday level, so care doesn't thin out much when families visit. Staff turnover sits at 21.4% versus 45.8% nationally, meaning aides and nurses here tend to stay. Its 12 deficiencies include none at the harm level and none abuse-related, and the most recent inspection was in March 2026. As a nonprofit with 72 beds, it isn't chasing volume, the numbers point to a home that invests in the people doing the daily work.

The Robert A. Barnes Center runs 25 beds under church-related nonprofit ownership, and the staffing numbers stand out: 7.04 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 82% above the national average. Weekend coverage dips about 8% below its own weekday level, and turnover sits at 38.5%, better than the 45.8% national figure, though still meaning more than a third of staff leaving each year. The inspection record shows 21 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, but two tied to abuse, which families should ask about directly. A June 2025 inspection keeps the record current, and the four- and five-star ratings across health inspections, quality measures, and staffing back up what the numbers suggest.

Willow Ridge is a 20-bed nonprofit home in Bluffton, and its staffing is the headline: 5.30 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 37% above the national average. Weekend coverage dips only about 5% below weekdays, which matters because short-staffed weekends are where a lot of problems show up. Staff turnover sits at 32.3%, well under the 45.8% national figure, so the people caring for residents tend to stick around. The current record isn't spotless, 23 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, though the most recent inspection was July 2024 and inspection and quality ratings both land at 4 out of 5. Small homes live and die by their staff, and this one has kept more of theirs than most.

Wesley Glen runs on 6.28 nurse hours per resident day, about 63% above the national average of 3.86, and its weekend staffing only dips about 12% below weekday levels. Turnover sits at 42.3%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure, and the nonprofit has a clean inspection record on harm: 12 deficiencies total, none at the harm or jeopardy level, though 2 are abuse-related. CMS gives it 5 stars across health inspections, quality measures, and staffing, and its last inspection was in April 2026. The numbers say a well-staffed home with recent oversight and no serious harm findings, with those two abuse citations the main thing worth asking about directly.

Ohio Living Cape May runs a small house in Wilmington, 23 certified beds, nonprofit-owned, and the staffing numbers are the first thing that stands out. At 4.89 nurse hours per resident day, it sits roughly 27% above the national average of 3.86, and its annual turnover of 22.7% is about half the national rate. Weekend coverage does dip about 17% below its own weekday level, which is worth asking about directly. The inspection record shows 11 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, one abuse-related; the most recent inspection was June 2023, so the record is getting stale. A 4/5 on health inspections with 5/5 on quality and staffing measures is a solid profile for a home this size.

Apostolic Christian Home in Rittman, Ohio is a 75-bed nonprofit run by a church, and it holds a four-star health inspection rating from CMS. Staffing is its main strength: 4.45 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 15% above the national average, and turnover at 31.2% is well below the national 45.8%, meaning the people caring for your relative tend to stay. That consistency matters more than most families realize. The tradeoffs: weekend staffing drops about 13% from weekday levels, and the current record includes seven deficiencies, one at the harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related. A February 2025 inspection is recent, so the record reflects the home as it operates now.

Ohio Living Llanfair runs a small 36-bed nonprofit home in Hamilton County, and the staffing numbers are the story here. At 5.28 nurse hours per resident day, it's well above the national average, and weekend coverage only dips about 14% from weekdays, less than many places manage. Staff turnover sits at 28.2%, noticeably below the national rate, which matters for consistency of care. On the record: 14 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, though two are abuse-related and worth asking about directly. The most recent inspection was December 31, 2025, so the picture is current. For a family weighing options, the staffing depth and low turnover are the real signals behind the A.

Riverside Manor runs a leaner ship than most on staffing: 4.55 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 18 percent above the national average, with weekend coverage dipping about 12 percent below its own weekday levels. Turnover sits at 21.8 percent, well under the national 45.8 percent, a sign of a stable crew, which matters for daily consistency. The tradeoff shows up in inspections: a 2-out-of-5 health inspection rating, 27 deficiencies on record including one at harm level and four abuse-related, last surveyed January 30, 2025. Quality measures score 5 out of 5, so the clinical numbers look strong even where the inspection history doesn't.

Ohio Living Sarah Moore runs about 4.53 nurse hours per resident each day, roughly 17% above the national average, and its staff tends to stay: turnover sits at 37%, better than the 45.8% national figure. Weekend coverage dips about 10% below its own weekday staffing, so ask how that plays out on Saturdays and Sundays. The 19 deficiencies on record include none tied to harm or abuse, and the most recent inspection was in March 2026. Quality and staffing both score 5 out of 5 in CMS data, while inspections land at 3. This is a small nonprofit home, 47 beds, that performs well where it counts and has a clean harm record.

Twin Towers runs on 5.06 nurse hours per resident day, well above the 3.86 national average, and its weekend staffing only dips about 8% below weekdays, a smaller drop than many homes show. Staff turnover sits at 51%, a bit above the 45.8% national figure, so that's the soft spot. Inspections found 12 deficiencies, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, though none tied to abuse. The last full inspection was February 2026, so the record is current. Nonprofit ownership, strong marks on quality measures, and nurse coverage that genuinely exceeds the norm are what's carrying this one.

Birchaven runs on a nonprofit model in Findlay, and the staffing numbers are its clearest strength, 5.53 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips only slightly below weekdays, so care doesn't thin out much when families tend to visit. Turnover sits at 42.9%, a touch better than the national 45.8%. What holds it back from a cleaner record is the inspection side: 28 deficiencies on file, none serious enough to cause harm, but six tied to abuse. That mix, strong daily staffing and quality marks, a longer-than-ideal deficiency history, is the tradeoff worth weighing. The last state visit was in January 2025.

Nurse staffing at Courtyard At Seasons runs about 4.19 hours per resident day, roughly 8% above the national average, and the weekend dip is fairly modest at around 8% below weekday levels. Staff turnover sits at 27.7%, well under the national 45.8%, which matters for consistency of care. On the inspection side, the home carries 23 deficiencies, but none at the harm or jeopardy level, and one abuse-related finding. The most recent inspection was September 2025, so the record is current. A 45-bed for-profit LLC with that staffing margin and low turnover is doing better than most on the things families notice day to day.

Heritage Manor runs on 4.86 nurse hours per resident day, about a quarter more staffing than the typical American nursing home, and its weekend coverage dips only modestly below weekdays. Staff turnover sits at 30.9% against a national average near 46%, which matters because consistent caregivers tend to know residents and catch changes early. The home carries seven deficiencies on its current record with none at the harm level and none tied to abuse, and its last inspection was in March 2026. This is a nonprofit operation, so there's no ownership chain pushing toward margin. What stands out across the numbers is steadiness: strong inspection history, solid quality measures, and staffing that holds up.
