Staff turnover
39%

0

Salem Springlake runs about 3.11 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a fifth under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip another 15% below its own weekday coverage. Turnover sits at 38.8%, which is actually better than the 45.8% national figure, so the staff who are there tend to stay. The 14 deficiencies on record include none at the harm or jeopardy level and none related to abuse, and the most recent inspection was in November 2025, so the picture is current. What you're weighing is thinner daily coverage against a clean harm record and relatively stable retention.

Staff turnover
43%
Serious cites
0

Nurse staffing at this Elizabethtown home runs 3.93 hours per resident day, slightly above the national average, though weekends drop about 16% below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins out when families tend to visit. Staff turnover is 42.6%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure, but the inspection record is the real problem: 13 deficiencies, one of them at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, with the most recent inspection in October 2024. The corporation that owns it holds a 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating, even as its quality measure score sits at 5. That gap, strong clinical metrics against serious inspection findings, is worth asking about directly.

Fountain Circle runs on a for-profit LLC structure with 147 certified beds in Winchester, and its staffing sits at 3.99 nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the national average, though weekends drop roughly 17% below its own weekday coverage. Turnover lands at 43.4%, slightly better than the 45.8% national figure. The current inspection record shows 11 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in March 2025. What holds the health inspection rating down to 2 stars is the volume of those deficiencies rather than their severity, and the quality and staffing measures each land at 3 stars.

Twin Rivers Nursing And Rehabilitation Center

Twin Rivers runs 3.48 nurse hours per resident day, about ten percent under the national average, and weekends dip roughly ten percent below its own weekday level, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Turnover sits at 44.7%, close to the national 45.8%, meaning this is a stable workforce by industry standards, not a churning one. The record shows 18 deficiencies with none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, and the most recent inspection was July 2025. Strong marks on inspections and quality measures carry the profile; the staffing number is what holds it back.

Hazard Health and Rehabilitation Center runs 200 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its staffing is the one clear strength: 4.72 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 22% above the national average of 3.86. That's real coverage on weekdays, though weekends drop about 9% below the home's own weekday level, so plan visits accordingly. The trouble sits elsewhere. Staff turnover is 45.8%, essentially the national average, meaning nearly half the workforce cycles out each year despite the generous hours. Federal inspectors rate health inspections and quality measures both 1 out of 5, with 18 deficiencies on record, none at harm or jeopardy level, but one tied to abuse. The last inspection was October 31, 2024.

Hopkins Nursing and Rehabilitation Center is a 50-bed for-profit home in Woodburn, and its record is genuinely mixed. The clinical side looks strong, a 5/5 quality measure rating and a 4/5 inspection rating, with the most recent survey in August 2025. The 8 deficiencies on file don't include any at the harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related, which families should ask about directly. Where it slips is staffing: 3.86 nurse hours per resident day lands right at the national average, but weekend coverage runs about 7% thinner than weekdays, and the 2/5 staffing rating reflects that gap. Turnover at 35.7% is better than the 45.8% national figure, so caregivers tend to stay longer than average.

Mountain View runs about 3.37 nursing hours per resident each day, roughly 13 percent under the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage dips a bit further below its own weekday level. Staff turnover sits at 54.3 percent against a national 45.8, which means more than half the nursing staff left within the year. Its inspection record shows 20 deficiencies, including three at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse. The quality measure rating is 5/5, but the staffing rating is 2/5 and the inspection rating 3/5, with the last survey dated November 2025. Pineville families weighing this one should ask how the home keeps weekend shifts covered.

Jeffersontown Rehabilitation runs 98 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its last inspection on January 23, 2026 landed it a five-star health inspection rating. That's the strongest part of the record. Staffing is thinner: 3.50 nurse hours per resident day, about 9% under the 3.86 national average, with weekends running roughly 10% below the home's own weekday level. Turnover sits at 34.2%, better than the 45.8% national figure. The current deficiency record carries 14 findings, three of them at harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related. So read it as a home that inspects well and keeps its staff longer than most, but consistently runs lean on direct care hours, especially on weekends.

Regency Nursing and Rehabilitation Center runs 110 certified beds in Louisville under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.22 nurse hours per resident day, about 17% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip roughly 6% below its own weekday coverage, which matters when you're relying on consistent hands-on care. Turnover at 36.6% is actually better than the 45.8% national figure, so the same faces stick around more than average. What stands out on inspections is the record: 21 deficiencies, 14 at harm or jeopardy level, 4 abuse-related, and a 2/5 inspection rating from CMS despite strong quality-measure scores. The last inspection was January 15, 2026.

Clinton County Care and Rehabilitation Center in Albany runs on leaner nurse staffing than most homes, 3.79 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 15% below its own weekday coverage. That said, the 22.9% annual turnover is remarkably low, nearly half the national rate, which means the aides and nurses who are there tend to stay. Eight deficiencies on record, none involving harm, jeopardy, or abuse, and a clean inspection as recently as May 2025. The tradeoff is clear: fewer hands per shift, but stable ones, and a survey history without serious problems.

Robertson County Health Care Facility runs 60 certified beds under corporate ownership, and its staffing sits just above the national average at 3.91 nurse hours per resident day, though weekends drop about 9% below its own weekday level, so coverage thins when families tend to visit. Turnover at 39.7% is meaningfully better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for consistency of care. The tradeoff shows up in the inspection record: seven deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, plus a single fine of $8,788. The most recent inspection was July 2025, so that record is current.

Edmonson Nursing and Rehabilitation Center runs 74 beds in Brownsville under corporate for-profit ownership, and its inspection record is genuinely strong, a five-star CMS health inspection rating with only three deficiencies on the current record. But those three are all flagged at the harm or jeopardy level, and all three are abuse-related, which matters more than the low count suggests. Nurse staffing sits at 3.75 hours per resident day, slightly under the national 3.86 average, and weekends run about 9% thinner than weekdays. Staff turnover of 33.3% is better than the 45.8% national figure. The last inspection was March 26, 2026. Ask directly what those three abuse deficiencies involved and how the home corrected them.

Signature Healthcare of McCreary County runs a 60-bed for-profit home in Pine Knot, and its staffing sits right at the national average, 3.86 nurse hours per resident per day. That's not a cushion, though. Weekend staffing drops about 19% below the home's own weekday level, and 40% of staff turn over each year, which is better than the 45.8% national rate but still means a lot of new faces. The real trouble is the inspection record: a 1-star health inspection rating, 14 deficiencies, four of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy. The most recent inspection was May 2025, so this isn't stale history. Family members should ask directly how the home covers weekends and what's changed since that inspection.

Harrodsburg Health & Rehabilitation Center runs 112 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing numbers are the part worth your attention. At 3.56 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 8% under the national average, with weekends roughly 16% lighter than weekdays, that gap matters most when a fall or infection happens on a Sunday. Turnover at 30.2% is meaningfully better than the 45.8% national figure, which suggests some stability in the workforce. Six deficiencies on record, none at harm level and none abuse-related, plus one fine of $6,682 and a recent February 2026 inspection. Quality measures score well; staffing is the soft spot.

Riverview Health Care Center in Prestonsburg holds a clean inspection record, zero deficiencies, no harm-level findings, no abuse citations, with its most recent survey in November 2024. That's genuinely uncommon, and it's the strongest thing this home has going for it. The staffing picture is more mixed. At 3.23 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 16 percent under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 14 percent below its own weekday coverage. Turnover, though, runs at 39.1 percent against a national 45.8 percent, which suggests workers are staying longer than at the typical home. For-profit corporate ownership, a strong survey history, and thinner-than-average daily staffing, that combination is what you're weighing.

Lake Cumberland Regional Hospital Scu is a small swing-bed unit inside a hospital, twelve beds total, run by a for-profit corporation. The nurse staffing number stands out right away: 7.06 hours per resident day, roughly 83% above the national average of 3.86, though weekends dip about 12% below the unit's own weekday level. Turnover is the catch, 69.4% of staff leave each year against a national average of 45.8%, which is a lot of churn for a twelve-bed unit. On inspections it looks clean: two deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related, and the most recent survey was January 2025. Quality measures score lower than the inspection record suggests.

Boyd Nursing And Rehabilitation is a 60-bed for-profit home in Ashland, run by a limited liability company, and the numbers pull in different directions. Nurse staffing sits at 3.52 hours per resident day, roughly 9% under the national average, and weekends drop about 17% below what the home staffs on weekdays, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover at 43.2% is slightly better than the national 45.8%, which matters less than it sounds when aides are still leaving at that rate. The 17 deficiencies on record, three of them at harm or jeopardy level, line up with the 2/5 inspection and staffing ratings, even though resident quality measures score 5/5. That gap is worth asking about directly.

Sunrise Manor runs about 3.55 nursing hours per resident per day, roughly 8% under the national average, and weekends dip another 11% below its own weekday levels, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Staff turnover sits at 50.8% against a 45.8% national rate, meaning half the nursing team turns over each year. The current record carries 19 deficiencies, five serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and the last health inspection in December 2025 produced a one-star result. Ownership is for-profit, through a limited liability company.

Danville Centre for Health & Rehabilitation runs 3.91 nurse hours per resident per day, just barely over the national average of 3.86, thin enough that weekends, when staffing drops about 14%, could feel noticeably lighter than weekdays. Turnover at 40.4% is better than the 45.8% national figure, so the same faces are somewhat more likely to stick around. What stands out more is the inspection record: 16 deficiencies, 7 of them at harm or jeopardy level and 3 tied to abuse, with two fines totaling $12,444 and the most recent inspection in August 2025. The quality measure rating sits at 4 of 5, but the 1-of-5 inspection rating tells you regulators have found real problems here.

Signature Healthcare of Georgetown runs 65 certified beds under corporate ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.53 hours per resident day, roughly 9% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop about 11% below what the home staffs on weekdays, and turnover runs 48.5% against a national 45.8%, so the aides and nurses your family sees may change often. The current record carries 22 deficiencies, none flagged at harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related. Inspectors were last in on July 10, 2025, and CMS gave the health inspection side 2 out of 5 stars while quality measures and staffing each earned 3. That combination, a recent inspection, a long deficiency list without serious harm findings, and thin weekend coverage, is what lands this home in the middle of the pack.
