Landmark of Lancaster runs 96 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.35 hours per resident day, roughly 13% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop about another 10% below its own weekday levels, so coverage is thinnest exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover is the brighter spot: 26.6% against a national average of 45.8%, meaning the aides and nurses here tend to stay. The current record shows 9 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection dated December 4, 2025. All three CMS star ratings, health inspection, quality measures, staffing, land at 2 out of 5.

Landmark of Laurel Creek runs 106 certified beds in Manchester under corporate for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.14 hours per resident day, roughly 19% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 14% below what the home staffs on weekdays, so coverage thins out when families tend to visit. The tradeoff is retention: 31.6% annual turnover beats the national 45.8%, meaning the aides who are there tend to stay. Nine deficiencies sit on the current record, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the last inspection in July 2025. Quality measure and staffing stars both come in at 2 of 5, inspection at 3.

Stanton Nursing and Rehabilitation Center runs 81 certified beds under individual for-profit ownership, and its staffing sits slightly above the national average at 3.93 nurse hours per resident day. That edge narrows on weekends, which run roughly 13% below the home's own weekday coverage. Turnover is the real bright spot: 23.9% against a national average of 45.8%, meaning far fewer familiar faces leave each year. The trade-offs show up elsewhere. Eight deficiencies sit on the current record, three tied to abuse, though none reached harm or jeopardy level, and the last inspection came in June 2025. Quality measure scores land at the low end even as inspectors rate the home well.

Forest Springs Health Campus runs 58 beds in Louisville under for-profit LLC ownership. Its overall nurse staffing comes in at 3.97 hours per resident day, slightly above the national average, but weekends dip about 9% below its own weekday level, and annual turnover sits at 66.2%, well above the 45.8% national mark. That churn matters more than the headline staffing number, since a quarter of the clinical team cycling through each year is hard on continuity. The health inspection record is the strong point: 4 of 5 stars, seven deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related, with a December 2025 inspection on file. Quality measures earn 3 of 5.

Nurse staffing at this 165-bed for-profit home runs 3.98 hours per resident day, slightly above the national average of 3.86, but weekends drop roughly 17% below its own weekday level, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. The bigger issue is the inspection record: 28 deficiencies, five serious enough to put residents in harm's way, and two fines totaling $182,488, all as of a May 2025 visit. Staff turnover sits at 64.7% against a national 45.8%, meaning nearly two-thirds of the caregiver workforce turns over each year. Strong quality-measure scores don't offset that kind of churn and oversight history.

Harlan Health and Rehabilitation Center runs 4.19 nurse hours per resident day, about 8% above the national average, and that staffing shows up as a 4-out-of-5 CMS staffing star. The catch is consistency: weekends run roughly 8% thinner than weekdays, and turnover sits at 45.7%, essentially the national rate, meaning the faces change about as often here as anywhere. Clinical quality measures score 1 out of 5, and inspectors cited 12 deficiencies on the current record, three serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy. Two fines totaling $10,868 are on file, with the most recent inspection in March 2025. This for-profit corporation home has adequate hands on deck, but the care results and inspection record don't match that staffing strength.

Bradford Square runs 100 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its staffing sits right at the edge of average, 3.93 nurse hours per resident day, barely above the national 3.86. That thin margin gets thinner on weekends, when coverage drops about 10% below the home's own weekday levels. Turnover tells a bigger story: 51.5% of staff leave annually, against a national rate of 45.8%. The inspection record shows 19 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, plus a $13,627 fine. Its most recent inspection was March 26, 2026. CMS rates the home 2 out of 5 on both quality measures and staffing.

Chautauqua Health And Rehabilitation runs 145 certified beds in Owensboro under for-profit partnership ownership, and the numbers show a building under real strain. Nurse staffing sits at 3.59 hours per resident day, about 7% under the national average, and weekends dip roughly 6% below its own weekday levels, meaning the thinnest coverage lands exactly when families tend to visit. Staff turnover of 49.1% outpaces the national 45.8%, so the people providing that care are often new. The inspection record is the harder read: 34 deficiencies, four at harm or jeopardy level, three tied to abuse, and a one-star health inspection rating from CMS with the most recent survey in April 2025. If you're considering this home, ask pointed questions about those abuse-related findings and how weekend coverage is actually staffed.

Mountain Ridge runs 3.38 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 12% under the national average, and weekend coverage dips another 12% below its own weekday level, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. Turnover at 35.4% is better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters, but it hasn't kept the home out of trouble: 19 deficiencies on the current record, four serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy and four tied to abuse. Inspectors were last on site in September 2024, and three fines totaling $13,426 have accumulated. Corporate ownership has not translated into strong survey results here.

Princeton Nursing & Rehabilitation runs 104 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.29 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 15% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 12% below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover at 40.8% is actually a bit better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for continuity of care. The inspection record shows 15 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related. A recent January 2026 inspection and a 4/5 health inspection rating suggest the physical care environment is being watched closely, but the 1/5 quality measure rating and 2/5 staffing rating tell you where the strain shows.

Lee County Care & Rehabilitation Center runs 109 certified beds in Beattyville under corporate, for-profit ownership. Its last health inspection, in August 2024, came back clean enough for a five-star rating, and the current record shows just two deficiencies, neither at the harm level and none tied to abuse, that's a genuinely strong inspection picture. The staffing side is thinner. At 3.43 nurse hours per resident day, the home sits about 11% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly another 11% below its own weekday coverage. Turnover, at 39.4%, is actually better than the 45.8% national figure, which suggests some stability. What holds the overall picture back is quality measures, where the home earns two stars.

Fordsville Nursing and Rehabilitation Center runs on thinner staffing than most homes, 3.39 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 12% below what the home staffs on weekdays. Turnover sits at 42.9%, slightly better than the 45.8% national figure, so the people who are there tend to stay. The current record shows 12 deficiencies, none rising to harm or jeopardy, though one is abuse-related. A 4-out-of-5 inspection rating and a December 2025 survey are real strengths, but the 2-out-of-5 quality measure score is the number worth asking about, because it speaks to how residents are actually doing day to day.

Henderson Nursing and Rehabilitation Center runs on thinner staffing than most homes, 3.10 nurse hours per resident each day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends dropping roughly another 14% below its own weekday coverage. The federal staffing rating reflects that gap at 1 out of 5 stars. Inspections from May 2025 turned up 15 deficiencies, none serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy and none tied to abuse, which is why its health and quality ratings sit mid-range. Staff turnover of 42.5% is actually slightly better than the national figure, so the problem isn't retention so much as how few hands are scheduled per resident.

Signature Healthcare at Jackson Manor runs 4.04 nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the national average, but that cushion thins out on weekends, when staffing drops roughly 17 percent from weekday levels. The bigger issue is turnover: 75 percent of staff left over the past year, well above the 45.8 percent national figure, which means caregivers are constantly new to residents who need consistency. Inspectors cited 16 deficiencies on the current record, including one abuse-related finding, though none rose to harm or jeopardy level, and the last visit was in May 2025. For-profit corporate ownership, a two-star staffing rating, and that churn are what pull the overall picture down.

Letcher Manor runs 142 certified beds in Whitesburg under corporate for-profit ownership, and its staffing is the number that stands out: 3.47 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 10% under the national average of 3.86, with weekends dipping about another 10% below its own weekday level. That thin coverage shows up in the federal staffing rating, which sits at 1 out of 5 stars. Turnover is 46.2%, essentially in line with the 45.8% national figure, so the issue isn't churn so much as how many hands are scheduled. The current record lists 12 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level but one abuse-related, and the last inspection was February 27, 2025.

Menifee Meadows runs 60 certified beds as a nonprofit corporation, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.66 hours per resident day, roughly 5% under the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips about 2% below its own weekday levels, and annual turnover is 55.7% against a national 45.8%, which means the aides and nurses on the floor keep changing. The current record shows 13 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse. The last health inspection was December 2024. CMS rates quality measures 1 out of 5 stars, so short-term outcomes and clinical tracking are the weak spot here, even though the inspection and staffing stars land at 3. Worth asking about before you visit.

Heartland Villa runs lean on nurses. At 3.43 hours per resident per day, it's about 11% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip roughly 17% below the home's own weekday staffing. That thin coverage is what drives the one-star staffing rating, and 47.8% annual turnover, slightly worse than the 45.8% national figure, means the aides and nurses on the floor keep changing. The other numbers tell a more mixed story. The home's inspection record shows just 2 deficiencies, though one was serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, with $8,788 in fines and a January 2026 inspection. Quality measures score well. For a 45-bed for-profit run by a limited liability company, the real question is whether the weekend staffing gap is one your family can live with.

Highlands Nursing and Rehabilitation runs 154 beds in Louisville under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurses deliver 3.37 hours of care per resident each day, roughly 13 percent under the national average of 3.86, with weekend coverage dipping about 8 percent below its own weekday level. That thinner weekend presence matters, because the home carries 30 deficiencies on its current record, seven of them serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy, plus one tied to abuse. Turnover sits at 38.7 percent, better than the 45.8 percent national figure, and the last inspection came in February 2025, so the record is recent. Two fines totaling $17,523 round out the picture.

Eastway runs 252 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing numbers are the first thing to look at. At 3.63 nurse hours per resident day it sits about 6% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 15% below its own weekday coverage, so the hours aren't just thin, they're thinner exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover is 56.4% against a national 45.8%, which means the aides and nurses who do show up are often new. The inspection record backs that up: 41 deficiencies, 10 at harm or jeopardy level, 4 abuse-related, three fines totaling $24,630, and a 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating. The last survey was August 2025, so the record is current, not stale.

Lexington Country Place runs 111 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits essentially at the national mark, 3.88 nurse hours per resident day against 3.86 nationwide. That balance is thinner than it looks, though, because weekend coverage drops roughly 6% below the home's own weekday level, and annual turnover hits 56.8% compared with 45.8% nationally. Inspectors visited recently, in April 2025, and found 10 deficiencies, none involving harm or jeopardy and none abuse-related. The state inspection and quality-measure ratings both land at 3 out of 5, while staffing scores 2. If you're weighing this one, ask how they hold nurse coverage steady on Saturdays and Sundays and how they keep experienced aides from walking out the door.
