Community Care Of Rutherford runs 131 certified beds as a nonprofit, but the numbers behind its record are worth a close look. Nurse staffing sits at 3.81 hours per resident day, just under the national average, and weekends drop about 8% below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit.
The bigger concerns are on the inspection side: 19 deficiencies on the current record, two of them serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, with no abuse citations. The last full inspection was in May 2022, meaning that record is getting stale. Low marks on both health inspections and staffing tell you where the problems cluster.
Wharton Nursing Home carries a heavier nurse staffing load than most places, 4.20 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, but weekends drop about 11% below its own weekday level, so the coverage families see on a Tuesday isn't what they get on a Sunday. The inspection record is the real problem: 18 deficiencies, four serious enough to put residents at harm or jeopardy, and two tied to abuse, with $69,885 in fines and the most recent inspection from February 2024. Nonprofit ownership hasn't kept the clinical side clean, and that staffing edge doesn't offset what inspectors found.
Generations Center of Spencer runs 70 certified beds as a nonprofit corporation, and its staffing sits at 3.67 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 5% under the national average of 3.86. The bigger issue is consistency: weekend staffing drops about 23% below the home's own weekday levels, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover is 38.9%, better than the 45.8% national figure, which suggests some stability in the workforce. On the record, nine deficiencies, three of them abuse-related, though none rose to harm or jeopardy level. The last inspection was May 2026, and CMS gave middle-of-the-road marks on health inspections but weaker scores on quality measures and staffing.
Beverly Park Place runs 271 certified beds as a nonprofit, and its biggest problem shows up in the staffing numbers. At 3.13 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 19% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 11% below its own weekday level. Turnover is 66.7%, well above the 45.8% national figure, so the aides and nurses your family would see are cycling through fast. Inspections tell a similar story: 14 deficiencies on record, six related to abuse, none rising to harm or jeopardy, and the last full look was in October 2022. Quality measures score well; staffing doesn't.
Humphreys County Care and Rehabilitation runs a nonprofit home of 91 beds in Waverly, and the staffing numbers are the strongest part of the picture: 4.28 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 11% above the national average. That edge narrows on weekends, which run about 11% below the home's own weekday level. Turnover sits at 48.4%, a bit above the national 45.8%. The inspection record is the bigger concern, 25 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and three related to abuse, with two fines totaling $14,013. The last inspection was in September 2025.
Waynesboro Post Acute & Rehabilitation runs 109 certified beds as a nonprofit corporation, and its staffing sits at 3.53 nurse hours per resident day, about 9% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip roughly 13% below its own weekday coverage, so the hours aren't evenly spread. The inspection record is where the real weight is: 15 deficiencies, 7 of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, 3 tied to abuse, and the last full inspection was back in January 2022. One fine of $8,788 is on file. Turnover at 26.1% is genuinely better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for continuity of care.
Mission Convalescent Home runs a 57-bed nonprofit operation in Jackson with a real strength and a real weak spot. The health inspection side looks solid, 20 deficiencies on record, none of them serious enough to cause harm or jeopardy, and no abuse findings, with the most recent inspection in July 2025. Where it struggles is daily hands-on care: 2.46 nurse staffing hours per resident day sits about 36% below the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage dips slightly below its own weekday level. Annual turnover of 62.5% runs well above the 45.8% national figure, which makes it harder to keep consistent caregivers at the bedside. Good inspections, thin staffing, that's the tradeoff here.
Elk River Health & Nursing Center runs about 3.70 nursing hours per resident per day, a bit under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 13% below its own weekday staffing. That thin weekend coverage matters more when you consider turnover: nearly 70% of staff left last year, against a national average near 46%, and CMS gives the home its lowest mark on staffing. Inspections look better, a four-star health inspection rating, with nine deficiencies on record and none at the harm level, though one is abuse-related. The last inspection was July 30, 2025. Quality measures sit at two stars. Nonprofit ownership doesn't change the arithmetic: consistent hands are the hard part here.
West Hills runs a nonprofit home with 194 beds, and its inspection record is genuinely good, 4 out of 5 stars, last surveyed in November 2024, with 10 deficiencies on file, only 2 of them serious enough to cause harm. The problem sits elsewhere. Nurse staffing comes in around 3.41 hours per resident day, roughly 12% under the national average, and weekends run about 11% lighter than weekdays. Staff turnover is the number that should worry you most: 77%, against a national average near 46%. That's a lot of unfamiliar faces coming through the door. Quality measures score 2 out of 5, which suggests the day-to-day care isn't matching the clean inspection sheet.
The staffing numbers at Christian Care Center of Medina are the first thing that stands out: 3.35 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 13 percent under the national average, with weekends running about 12 percent thinner than weekdays. That shortfall shows up in the turnover figure too, 70.6 percent annually against a national rate near 46 percent, meaning most of the people caring for residents are relatively new to the building. Meanwhile, the current inspection record carries 28 deficiencies, four of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy and three tied to abuse. Three fines totaling $15,592 round out the picture. Nonprofit ownership doesn't change what those numbers say.
The Mckendree Post Acute & Rehabilitation is a 180-bed nonprofit home in Hermitage that CMS has placed in its Special Focus Facility program, a designation reserved for homes with a persistent record of poor inspections. The numbers explain why: 37 deficiencies on the current record, including four at the harm or jeopardy level and five tied to abuse, plus a single fine of $252,242. Staffing sits at 3.50 nurse hours per resident day, about 9% under the national average, and weekends run roughly 12% thinner than weekdays. Annual turnover is 58% against a national 45.8%. Its last inspection was October 2023. If you're considering this home, ask what's changed since then.
