Southwind runs about 3.73 nursing hours per resident day, a bit under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 20% below what the home staffs on weekdays, that's when families tend to visit and when problems often surface. Turnover sits at 39.4%, better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for consistency of care. The inspection record is the harder read: 29 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse, with the most recent survey in September 2025. Quality and staffing measures both come in at 2 out of 5 stars. As a nonprofit, there's no ownership profit motive to weigh, but the numbers themselves carry the story.
Chateau De Notre Dame runs 171 certified beds as a nonprofit, and its nurses put in 4.12 hours per resident day, roughly 7% above the national average of 3.86, which is a real point in its favor. The catch is consistency: weekend staffing drops about 19% below weekday levels, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. The inspection record is the bigger concern, 28 deficiencies, three of them at harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in June 2025. Staff turnover sits at 45.5%, essentially matching the national rate, so retention isn't the problem here; the survey history is.
The Encore in Crowley runs a nonprofit shop with 73 beds, and its health inspection record is genuinely solid, a 4-out-of-5 star rating from CMS, with the most recent survey in July 2025. What pulls it down is staffing stability. The home reports 4.12 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 7% above the national average, which sounds fine on paper. But turnover sits at 60.8% against a national average of 45.8%, and weekend staffing dips about 14% below its own weekday level. Twenty-eight deficiencies are on the current record, none at harm or jeopardy level, though two are abuse-related, worth asking about directly.
Village Health Care At The Glen runs 4.19 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 9% above the national average, which matters more here than the staffing star suggests. Weekend coverage dips about 5% below weekdays, and turnover sits at 33.6%, well under the national 45.8%, so caregivers tend to stick around. The concerning part is the inspection record: 23 deficiencies, including five tied to abuse and one at the harm or jeopardy level, with a $12,735 fine. That's a lot of findings for a nonprofit, and it weighs against the decent staffing.
Eastridge runs on leaner staffing than most homes its size, 3.57 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends dropping about 14% below its own weekday levels. The bigger concern is turnover: 63.6% of staff leave each year, well above the 45.8% national figure, and that churn shows up in a one-star staffing rating. Inspections are a different story. The most recent visit was December 2025, the health inspection rating sits at 4 of 5, and none of the 19 deficiencies on record rose to harm or jeopardy. One was abuse-related, which is worth asking about directly. Quality measures land at 2 of 5.
St. Jude's runs a decent number of nurse hours per resident, 4.14 a day, about 7% above the national average, so on paper there are people around. But that staff turns over at 72.1% a year against a national average near 46%, which means the faces change constantly and weekends run about 10% thinner than weekdays. The inspection record is where it gets harder to explain away: 53 deficiencies, seven of them serious enough to put residents in harm's way, eight tied to abuse, and six fines totaling $389,089. The most recent inspection was in January 2026, so the picture is current. Nonprofit ownership hasn't translated into a cleaner record here.
Good Samaritan Living Center runs 84 certified beds in Franklinton under nonprofit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.84 hours per resident day, essentially dead even with the national average of 3.86. That parity hides a real gap: weekend coverage drops roughly 23% below what the home staffs on weekdays, so care thins out exactly when families are less likely to be watching. The inspection record is heavier than the staffing number suggests, with 14 deficiencies on file including three at harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, plus a single fine of $168,630. The most recent inspection was May 2026, so the picture is current.
The Broadway Nursing and Rehabilitation Center runs 126 certified beds as a nonprofit corporation in Lockport, and its staffing sits at 3.74 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 3% under the national average, with weekends about 16% thinner than weekdays. The inspection record is the bigger concern: 23 deficiencies currently on file, two of them at the harm or jeopardy level and two abuse-related, plus two fines totaling $29,126. Staff turnover at 44.7% is essentially at the national average, so retention isn't the outlier here. The quality measure rating of 1 out of 5 is where the clinical picture looks weakest, and that's separate from the staffing and inspection scores.
Tioga Community Care Center runs 154 certified beds in Pineville under nonprofit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.04 hours per resident day, roughly 5% above the national average of 3.86. That's a real strength. But weekends drop about 17% below the home's own weekday coverage, and annual turnover hits 64.8% against a national 45.8%, meaning nearly two-thirds of the nursing staff leaves each year. The current record carries 21 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse. Quality measures score 1 out of 5 stars. The most recent inspection was July 23, 2025.
Oak Woods Home for the Elderly runs on 0.80 nurse staffing hours per resident day, about a fifth of the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 30% below its own weekday level, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. The current record shows 19 deficiencies, one of them abuse-related, though none rose to the harm or jeopardy level, and the last inspection was recent enough that the picture is current. Two fines totaling $18,349 have been assessed. For a 119-bed nonprofit, the direct-care hours are the concern worth pressing on when you call.
Lafon Nursing Facility of the Holy Family runs 155 certified beds as a nonprofit, and its staffing sits just under the national average at 3.80 hours per resident day. The bigger concern is who's staying: 65.9% of staff turn over each year, well above the 45.8% national figure, and weekends already run about 17% thinner than weekdays. Inspectors documented 34 deficiencies on the current record, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse, along with a $156,653 fine. The last inspection was August 2025, so the picture is recent rather than stale.
