West View Healthy Living is a 93-bed nonprofit home in Wooster that just went through a fresh inspection in January 2025 and came out with a strong four-star health inspection rating. The trouble sits elsewhere: its staffing rating is one star, and 53.9% of staff turned over in a year, well above the 45.8% national average, that churn makes consistent daily care harder to deliver, which likely drags down its two-star quality measure score. Twenty deficiencies are on record, two tied to abuse, though none reached actual harm or jeopardy. A solid inspection shouldn't hide a thin, unstable workforce.
Ohio Eastern Star in Mount Vernon runs 86 certified beds as a nonprofit, and its health inspections come in about average, three stars, with the state's most recent look on February 12, 2026. The record itself shows 17 deficiencies, including one involving actual harm or jeopardy and one abuse-related finding, so there's real substance behind the paperwork. Where this home stands apart is staffing: one star, the bottom of the federal scale, which means aide and nurse hours per resident fall well short of what most homes provide. Quality measures also land mid-range at three. For a family weighing a move here, the question worth pressing is how thin coverage gets on evenings and weekends.
Jennings Hall sits at 156 beds in Garfield Heights, run by a nonprofit corporation. Nurse staffing runs 3.66 hours per resident day, about 5% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 11% below what the home staffs on weekdays. Annual turnover is 48.6%, a few points above the national rate, so the people caring for residents change fairly often. Inspectors last visited in September 2024 and found 17 deficiencies, none involving harm or abuse, which matters more than the raw count suggests. The federal stars land at 3 for health inspections, 3 for quality measures, and 2 for staffing, so the weaker numbers here are about coverage and consistency rather than safety violations.
Green Hills Center runs on thinner nurse coverage than most homes, 3.53 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly another 10% below its own weekday levels, which is when problems tend to surface. The inspection record shows 16 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one tied to abuse, plus a $16,801 fine. A recent inspection in September 2025 means the picture is current, not stale. Quality measures score well, but that staffing number and those deficiencies are what a family should ask about directly before deciding.
Brown Memorial Home in Circleville runs a tight ship on the clinical side, 23 deficiencies on its current record, but none of them rose to actual harm or jeopardy, and nothing abuse-related. A December 2025 inspection means the findings are recent, not stale. Nurse staffing sits at 4.18 hours per resident day, roughly 8% above the national average, though weekends drop about 20% below the home's own weekday coverage, so care can thin out on Saturdays and Sundays. The bigger concern is turnover: 60% of staff leaving annually against a national average near 46%, which can wear on continuity even when raw hours look good.
Samaritan Care Center and Villa sits in Medina, and the numbers tell a mixed story. The clinical quality measures look strong, but the staffing side is where the concern lives: 3.18 nurse hours per resident day runs about 18% under the national average, weekends dip further below weekdays, and 69% of staff turned over in a year against a national 45.8%. Twenty-one deficiencies sit on the current record, though none rose to the level of harm or jeopardy, and the last inspection came in June 2025. As a nonprofit, there's no owner extracting profit, but that doesn't erase a thin staffing picture. Ask how they cover weekends and what's driving people out the door.
Sanctuary At Wilmington Place runs 63 certified beds in Dayton under nonprofit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.72 hours per resident day, roughly 4% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 12% below what the home staffs on weekdays, and annual turnover hits 67.5% against a national 45.8%, so the aides and nurses caring for your family member are likely newer and stretched thinner than average. The current inspection record shows 41 deficiencies, including 2 at the harm or jeopardy level and 2 tied to abuse; the most recent inspection was June 2, 2025. Quality measures score well, but the staffing and inspection numbers are what carry weight here.
Shepherd of the Valley-Boardman runs 4.04 nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the national average, but that average hides a weekend problem, staffing drops roughly 19% below its own weekday level, which is when families tend to visit and notice. Staff turnover sits at 66.7%, well above the national 45.8%, so the people providing that care are changing often. The current inspection record carries 24 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, with the most recent inspection dated December 31, 2025. This is a nonprofit operation with solid quality marks, but the inspection history and turnover are the numbers worth asking about directly.
Providence Care Center runs a 138-bed nonprofit home in Sandusky with about 3.43 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 11% under the national average, and weekends dip another 11% below its own weekday coverage. That thin staffing lines up with a 1-out-of-5 staffing rating and a 50.5% turnover rate, meaning half the nursing staff leaves within a year. Inspectors cited 41 deficiencies, none rising to harm or jeopardy, but six tied to abuse. The quality measure rating sits at 4 out of 5, and a May 2025 inspection is recent. The church affiliation doesn't change the math: care quality may look strong on paper, but the people providing it are stretched and cycling through fast.
St. Clare Commons runs 3.82 nurse hours per resident day, just under the national average, and weekends drop about 8% below what the home staffs on weekdays. The bigger concern is turnover: 50.8% annually against a 45.8% national rate, meaning roughly half the nursing staff leaves each year. Inspections tell a similar story, 49 deficiencies on record, including one at the harm level and six tied to abuse, plus a $40,433 fine. The most recent inspection was June 2025, so the record is current. Quality measures score well, but staffing and inspection results are where the problems sit.
The Sanctuary at Tuttle Crossing has enough nurses on paper, 4.30 hours per resident day, about 11% above the national average, but that cushion thins out on weekends, when staffing drops roughly 14% below its own weekday level. The bigger issue is who stays: annual turnover of 73.1% sits far above the 45.8% national average, meaning many of the aides and nurses you'd meet may not be there next year. Then there's the inspection record, a 1 out of 5 star rating, 39 deficiencies logged, and two tied to abuse, one serious enough to put a resident in harm's way. That history, not the daily hours, is what's driving the grade.
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.
Harmar Place in Marietta runs 86 certified beds as a nonprofit, and the numbers raise real questions. Nurse staffing sits at 3.67 hours per resident day, below the national average, and it drops another 12% on weekends, so care gets thinnest exactly when families tend to visit. Staff turnover of 56.1% means more than half the nursing workforce leaves each year, well above the national rate, and that churn shows in the record: 58 deficiencies, including 7 at the harm or jeopardy level and 3 tied to abuse, with two fines totaling $202,275. A recent March 2025 inspection and a 1-star health inspection rating don't offset the 4-star quality measure score.
Saint Luke Lutheran Home is a 166-bed nonprofit in North Canton, but nonprofit status isn't shielding residents here. Nurse staffing sits at 3.71 hours per resident day, under the national average, and weekends run thinner than weekdays. The bigger flag is turnover: 81.7% annually, far above the 45.8% national figure, meaning caregivers are constantly changing. Its inspection record shows 85 deficiencies, four at harm or jeopardy level, seven abuse-related, and one fine near $98,000. CMS has placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, reserved for the poorest performers. The last inspection was January 2023, so that record is getting old, which matters when you're weighing how current the picture really is.
University Manor runs on 3.01 nurse staffing hours per resident per day, about 22 percent under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip roughly 6 percent below its own weekdays, so coverage is thinnest exactly when families tend to visit. Its inspection record carries 47 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and six tied to abuse, plus $32,394 in fines. Staff turnover sits at 47.8 percent against a national 45.8, and the last inspection was December 5, 2024. As a nonprofit corporation, it isn't chasing shareholder returns, but that structure hasn't translated into stronger numbers here.
The Gardens of St. Francis runs on 1.48 nurse staffing hours per resident day, roughly 62% below the national average, and weekend coverage drops about 15% below what it manages on weekdays. Turnover sits at 65.6% against a national rate of 45.8%, so a large share of the staff you'd meet is relatively new. The record shows 40 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, plus a $45,250 fine. Inspections are recent, and the quality measure score is strong, but that staffing number is the one worth weighing hardest.
Wesleyan Village runs 3.42 nurse hours per resident per day, about 11% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 12% below its own weekday staffing. That thin coverage is paired with 66% annual turnover against a national 45.8%, so the people at the bedside keep changing. The inspection record is the harder problem: 54 deficiencies, six at harm or jeopardy level, four tied to abuse, and $219,798 in fines across two penalties, with the most recent inspection in February 2025. A five-star quality measure score sits alongside one-star inspection and staffing ratings, which is worth asking about directly, since quality scores depend on the staff actually documenting and delivering care.
Community Skilled Healthcare in Warren runs 99 certified beds as a nonprofit corporation, and the numbers are hard to get past. Nurse staffing sits at 3.68 hours per resident per day, about 5% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 14% below the home's own weekday level, so care thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Staff turnover is 59.8% against a national 45.8%, meaning most of the people caring for residents are relatively new. The current record shows 69 deficiencies, including 3 at harm or jeopardy level and 13 abuse-related, plus $186,582 in fines, and CMS has placed the home in its Special Focus Facility program.
