Signature Healthcare of Carrollton runs on thinner staffing than most homes nationally, 3.61 nurse hours per resident day against a 3.86 average, and weekends drop about 12% below its own weekday coverage. That's the kind of gap families notice when a call light takes longer to answer on a Sunday. Turnover sits at 44.8%, roughly in line with the national figure, so the concern here isn't retention so much as how few hands are on deck at any given time. Ten deficiencies appear on the current record, none at harm or jeopardy level, though two are abuse-related and worth asking about directly. The last inspection was June 2025, so the picture is reasonably current.

Cherokee Park Rehabilitation runs 104 beds under for-profit limited liability ownership, and the numbers show a building leaning hard on its clinical outcomes to offset some real operational strain. Nurse staffing sits at 3.34 hours per resident day, roughly 13% under the national average, and weekends dip about 10% below the home's own weekday coverage. Staff turnover is 58.2% against a 45.8% national figure, which means more than half the nursing team turns over in a year. The inspection history is where the concern concentrates: 35 deficiencies on record, five of them at harm or jeopardy level, with a 2/5 health inspection rating and a 2/5 staffing rating from CMS. A 4/5 quality measure score and one $12,054 fine round out the picture.

Vanceburg Hills runs a for-profit operation with 94 certified beds, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.31 hours per resident day, roughly 14% under the national average. Weekends dip about 10% below what the home itself manages Monday through Friday, so coverage is thinnest exactly when families tend to visit. Staff turnover is 40.5%, which actually beats the national 45.8%, so the picture isn't all downside. But the inspection record carries 15 deficiencies, three of them serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, along with one fine of $10,527. The last inspection was June 2025, so the record is current rather than stale. Read together: decent retention, thin daily coverage, and a deficiency list worth asking about directly.

Elizabethtown Nursing and Rehabilitation Center runs on thin nursing coverage: 3.40 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 13% below its own weekdays. The bigger warning sign is turnover, 78.2% of nursing staff leave annually, well above the 45.8% national figure, which means caregivers rarely stay long enough to know residents well. Its last inspection, on January 31, 2026, left 19 deficiencies on record, including one tied to abuse; none rose to harm or jeopardy level. Under a for-profit limited liability owner, the home posts strong quality-measure scores but the staffing picture and inspection history tell a more mixed story.

Cumberland Valley runs 4.01 nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the national average of 3.86, but that cushion thins on weekends, weekend staffing drops roughly 12% below its own weekday level. The 84-bed for-profit home carries 7 deficiencies on its current record, 2 of them serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, along with 2 fines totaling $15,646. Its CMS quality measure rating sits at 1 out of 5, and inspections were last done in September 2025. Staff turnover, at 43.8%, is slightly better than the 45.8% national figure, though that's the one measure here that isn't working against it.

Stonecreek runs about 12% below the national average on nurse staffing, and weekends dip roughly 9% further than its own weekdays, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Staff turnover sits at 58.3% against a national 45.8%, which means the aide caring for your mother this month may well be gone by spring. The current record shows 31 deficiencies, including two tied to abuse, though none rose to the harm or jeopardy level. Federal inspectors last visited in December 2025, and all three CMS star categories land at 2 out of 5 under for-profit LLC ownership. The pattern is consistent: thin shifts, high churn, middling oversight.

Elliott Nursing and Rehabilitation runs 75 certified beds in Sandy Hook under for-profit LLC ownership, and its numbers split in two directions. The health inspection and quality measure ratings both come in at 4 out of 5, and the last inspection was recent. But nurse staffing sits at 3.21 hours per resident day, roughly 17 percent under the national average, and weekends drop about 12 percent below the home's own weekday level, which is when coverage gaps tend to show. Turnover runs 48.3 percent, slightly above the national figure. Eleven deficiencies are on the current record, three at harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, with a single fine of $12,844.

Barren County Nursing and Rehabilitation runs on thinner nurse coverage than most homes, 3.14 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 15% below its own weekday levels. Staff turnover sits at 51.9%, well above the 45.8% national figure, so the people caring for residents change often. The current record shows 10 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in August 2025. This is a for-profit limited liability company with 94 certified beds. Nothing here suggests danger, but the staffing numbers are the story worth weighing.

Mills Nursing & Rehabilitation runs thin on nursing hours, 3.21 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends are about 17% leaner than weekdays, which is when gaps tend to show up. The inspection record is the bigger concern: 15 deficiencies, four at harm or jeopardy level, three tied to abuse, and three fines totaling $26,132, with the last inspection in July 2025. Staff turnover sits at 46.4%, roughly in line with the national rate, so retention isn't the outlier here. Ownership is a for-profit limited liability company. Quality measures score well, but that's a self-reported area; the health inspection and staffing ratings both sit at two stars. Ask about weekend coverage and the abuse-related findings before you decide.

Parkwood runs on 3.04 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a fifth under the national average, and weekends drop about 11% below what it manages during the week. That thin coverage shows up in the numbers: a one-star staffing rating, 54.2% annual turnover against a national 45.8%, and 25 deficiencies on record, seven serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, four tied to abuse. Ownership is for-profit and individual, and the last inspection was January 8, 2026. The quality measure rating of three stars suggests some clinical benchmarks land where they should, but that's a narrow bright spot against staffing, inspection history, and the $10,209 in fines.

Shady Lawn runs about 3.46 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 10% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip another 8% below its own weekday numbers, worth asking about if your family visits mainly on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover sits at 50%, a bit above the 45.8% national figure, so continuity of caregivers may be a real question. The inspection record is genuinely strong: eight deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related, and the most recent survey was July 2025. The tradeoff is in quality measures, which come in low despite that clean inspection history, a split worth understanding before you decide.

South Shore Nursing and Rehabilitation runs 60 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing numbers sit below where you'd want them. Total nurse coverage is about 3.58 hours per resident day, roughly 7% under the national average, and weekends drop another 13% below its own weekday level, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Annual turnover is 52.5%, well above the 45.8% national figure, which matters because unfamiliar aides can miss subtle changes. The inspection record is genuinely decent: a four-star health inspection rating with 12 deficiencies and none at harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related. Quality measures and staffing both come in at two stars. The most recent inspection was July 2025.

Irvine Nursing and Rehabilitation Center runs 86 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers show a home doing the basics without much cushion. Nurse staffing sits at 3.59 hours per resident day, about 7% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 13% below its own weekday coverage, that's when families tend to notice. Staff turnover of 47.3% edges past the national rate of 45.8%, meaning aides and nurses cycle through faster than average. Ten deficiencies on record, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in February 2025. Nothing here reads as dangerous; it reads as thin.

Woodland Oaks runs a 110-bed for-profit operation in Ashland with a clean recent inspection record, five deficiencies on the books, none causing harm or involving abuse, and the state was last out in May 2026. That's the good news. The staffing side is thinner: 3.77 nurse hours per resident day, a bit under the national average, and weekends drop about 12% below what the home staffs on weekdays. Turnover sits at 48.9%, roughly three points above the national figure, which means familiar faces are harder to keep. The inspection score looks strong, but the day-to-day coverage and the 2/5 quality measure rating are where families should focus their questions.

Kensington runs about 3.63 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 6% under the national average, and weekends drop another 13% below its own weekday staffing. That thin coverage shows up in its staffing rating, which sits at the bottom of CMS's scale, and in turnover: nearly 59% of staff leave within a year, well above the 45.8% national figure. The inspection record is cleaner than those numbers might suggest. Twenty-seven deficiencies are on file, but none involved actual harm or jeopardy, and none were abuse-related. State inspectors were last in the building in March 2025. For-profit, limited-liability ownership, 82 beds, in Elizabethtown. The pattern reads as a home that isn't dangerous so much as thinly staffed and constantly retraining.

Berea Health and Rehabilitation runs 84 certified beds under for-profit partnership ownership, and its staffing picture is more fragile than the headline number suggests. Total nurse staffing sits at 3.91 hours per resident day, barely above the national average, but weekends drop about 17% below the home's own weekday levels, and annual turnover hits 55.2% against a national 45.8%. Inspections look better: a 4/5 health inspection rating, most recently surveyed in April 2025, with seven deficiencies on record, two of them serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, and $16,801 in fines across two penalties. The gap between decent inspection results and thin, churning staffing is what stands out here.

Liberty Care & Rehabilitation Center runs 97 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers worth knowing are on the inspection side. Seventeen deficiencies sit on the current record, six of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, plus two tied to abuse. Three fines add up to $65,196. Staffing lands at 3.47 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage drops about 16% below the home's own weekday level. Annual turnover of 55.8% runs well above the 45.8% national figure. The quality measure score looks strong, but quality measures rely on self-reported data, the inspection history and the thin weekend staffing are the parts a family can't argue with.

Green River Trails runs lean on nursing hours: 3.17 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 15% below its own weekday staffing. That thin coverage is the main thing behind its middling scores on staffing and quality measures, even though the health inspection side came back strong at 4 out of 5. Turnover sits at 40.2%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure, and the home carries eight deficiencies with none at the harm level and none abuse-related. Two fines total $12,645, and the last inspection was June 5, 2025. It's a for-profit corporation operating 118 certified beds.

Valhalla Post Acute runs 162 beds in Louisville under for-profit LLC ownership, and the direct-care hours don't quite keep up: 3.73 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends roughly 12% thinner than weekdays. The bigger signal is churn, 69.8% annual staff turnover, well above the 45.8% national figure, which makes consistent care hard to sustain no matter how the schedule looks on paper. Inspectors have logged 17 deficiencies, four at harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, with two fines totaling $17,963 and a survey as recent as March 2026. Resident outcome measures score well; the staffing and inspection records are what pull the overall picture down.

Madisonville Health and Rehabilitation runs 94 certified beds as a for-profit corporation, and its staffing sits around 3.09 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 20% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop about 10% below the home's own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts are the ones families often visit. Annual turnover is 48.7%, a bit above the 45.8% national figure, which means caregivers cycle through faster than average. The current record shows 8 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, and the last inspection was May 1, 2025, so the picture is fairly recent. Federal ratings land at 3 out of 5 for inspections and 2 out of 5 each for quality measures and staffing.
