Staff turnover

Fulton Nursing and Rehabilitation runs on 2.82 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 27% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 14% below what the home staffs on weekdays. That thin coverage shows up in its staffing rating, which sits at the bottom of CMS's five-point scale, while its quality measure rating lands at two stars. Turnover is 45.9%, essentially identical to the national figure, so this isn't a retention crisis, it's a coverage problem. Nine deficiencies sit on the current record with none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, and the most recent inspection was in May 2025.

Somerset Nursing and Rehabilitation runs 123 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.73 nurse hours per resident day, a bit under the national average of 3.86. That gap is small, but weekends drop about 11% below the home's own weekday coverage, and CMS gave staffing a single star. Turnover is 45.7%, essentially identical to the national figure, so that's not the differentiator here. The inspection record is: 19 deficiencies, four of them at harm or jeopardy level, three tied to abuse, with the last inspection in June 2025. Two-star marks on health inspections and quality measures round it out. Families weighing this one should ask directly about weekend nurse coverage and how the abuse-related findings were resolved.

The nurse staffing number at Mt. Sterling Health & Rehab, 3.85 hours per resident day, lands almost exactly on the national average. That's about where the good news ends. Staff turnover runs 50%, well above the typical 45.8%, and weekend coverage drops about 8% below what the home staffs on weekdays, so the hours that look adequate on paper thin out when families are most likely to visit. The health inspection record shows a 1-out-of-5 star rating with 26 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse. One fine totaling $13,520 is on file. The most recent inspection, in March 2026, is current, but the findings behind it aren't reassuring.

Green Acres runs lean on nursing hours, 3.25 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 15% below what the home itself staffs during the week. That thinner weekend coverage matters most when families visit and when residents need help. Annual turnover sits at 51.5%, above the 45.8% national figure, so many of the aides and nurses you meet may be relatively new. The good news: 11 deficiencies on the current record, none involving harm or abuse, and the last inspection was recent, in August 2025. It's a for-profit limited liability company with 60 beds, so ask who owns it now and how long the director of nursing has been there.

Sycamore Heights runs 96 beds in Louisville under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers that stand out most are on the staffing side. At 3.25 nurse hours per resident day, it sits roughly 16% under the national average, and weekends dip about 12% below its own weekday levels, so coverage is thinnest exactly when families tend to visit. Annual turnover of 60.7% is well above the 45.8% national figure, which means the people caring for your relative are likely to change often. Its inspection record shows 23 deficiencies, four serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, plus two fines totaling $21,879. The most recent inspection was February 2026, so that record is current.

Countryside Center runs a 53-bed for-profit operation in Carlisle County, and its staffing is the first thing to look at. Nurses provide 3.16 hours per resident per day, roughly 18% under the national average, and weekends drop about 13% below its own weekday numbers. Turnover sits at 46.8%, a touch above the national figure. On the plus side, the health inspection record is strong, four stars, eight deficiencies with none at harm or jeopardy level and no abuse findings, last inspected in February 2026. Quality measures and staffing both score two stars, which tells you where the tradeoffs land: a clean inspection history paired with thin day-to-day coverage.

Good Shepherd Health And Rehabilitation runs 118 certified beds in Phelps under corporate for-profit ownership, and the numbers worth your attention are the inspection record and the staffing. Fourteen deficiencies sit on the current record, six of them serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, and one tied to abuse, with four fines totaling $29,852. Nurse staffing comes in at 3.42 hours per resident day, roughly 11 percent under the national average, and weekend coverage holds flat against weekdays rather than dropping. Turnover at 39.6 percent is actually better than the 45.8 percent national figure, which suggests some steadiness in the workforce even as oversight problems persist. The last inspection was September 2024, so the record is fairly current.

The Village of Lebanon runs 54 beds under for-profit partnership ownership, and its payroll sits almost exactly at the national norm, 45.6% turnover against 45.8% nationally, so the staffing churn here isn't unusually bad for the industry. What stands out more is the quality measure rating of 1 out of 5, which is where the clinical picture looks weakest, and 12 deficiencies on the current record including one tied to abuse. Inspectors were last on site in August 2025 and found nothing at the harm or jeopardy level, which matters. Eight fines totaling $45,335 is real money, though not extreme for a home this size.

Park Grove is a for-profit limited liability operation in Madisonville with 71 certified beds, and its numbers land below average on nearly every federal measure. Nurse staffing sits at 3.64 hours per resident day, roughly 6% under the national figure, and weekends run about 15% thinner than weekdays, a gap families often feel when they visit on a Saturday. Turnover is 46%, basically at the national rate, so continuity isn't the standout problem here. The inspection record is: 16 deficiencies on file, two serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and $12,860 in fines across two penalties. Its most recent inspection was in June 2025, so the picture is current. All three CMS star ratings, health inspections, quality measures, and staffing, sit at 2 out of 5.

Oakview runs about 3.47 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 10% under the national average, and weekends dip about 14% below its own weekday staffing. That thinner weekend coverage matters most when families visit and when residents need help at meals and bedtime. The bigger concern is turnover: 67.7% of nursing staff left over the year, well above the 45.8% national average, which means caregivers are often new and unfamiliar with residents. Inspections in September 2025 turned up 16 deficiencies, two serious enough to put residents at risk of harm, plus $15,646 in fines. State surveyors last visited in late 2025, so the record is current. Limited liability ownership with for-profit status rounds out the picture.

Hartland Park runs 150 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing numbers tell you most of what you need to know. Nurses provide 3.44 hours per resident day, roughly 11% below the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip another 10% below the home's own weekday levels, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover sits at 46.2%, essentially matching the national rate, which means this isn't a retention crisis so much as a staffing floor that never gets high enough. The inspection record is the harder read: 33 deficiencies, two at harm or jeopardy level, one abuse-related, and two fines totaling $12,925, with the most recent inspection in June 2025.

Franklin-Simpson runs on 3.06 nurse hours per resident day, about a fifth below the national figure of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 14% under its own weekday level, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Staff turnover sits at 50.6%, higher than the 45.8% national average, and the federal staffing rating reflects that at 1 out of 5. The inspection history is the counterweight: a 4-out-of-5 health inspection rating, though the current record still carries 15 deficiencies, two at harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse. It's a for-profit LLC, 98 beds, last inspected July 2025. Quality measures rate 2 out of 5.

Wurtland Nursing and Rehabilitation runs 126 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing numbers are where the trouble starts: 3.51 nurse hours per resident day sits about 9% under the national average, weekend coverage drops roughly 14% below its own weekday level, and annual turnover hits 50% against a 45.8% national figure. Inspections back that up. Twenty-four deficiencies sit on the current record, eight serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and one fine of $69,908 has been levied. A 1-out-of-5 inspection rating and a 1-out-of-5 staffing rating tell you regulators and the payroll data agree. The most recent inspection, in March 2026, is the record to ask about directly.

Bradford Heights runs on thin nursing coverage, 3.18 hours per resident per day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 12% below what the home itself manages Monday through Friday. That shortfall shows up in CMS's staffing rating, which sits at the lowest mark, and in turnover of 57.1% against a national 45.8%, meaning the aides and nurses at the bedside keep changing. Inspectors logged 22 deficiencies on the current record, none rising to harm or jeopardy and none abuse-related, with the last visit in September 2025. The limited liability company ownership takes profit out of the picture, but the staffing numbers are the ones families should weigh.

Glenview runs 3.35 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 13 percent under the national average, and weekends drop about 8 percent below the home's own weekday staffing. That thin coverage compounds with a 58.7 percent annual turnover rate, well above the 45.8 percent national figure, so the aides and nurses at the bedside keep changing. Inspectors logged 11 deficiencies, two tied to abuse, with the most recent visit in June 2025. The company is a for-profit LLC. Taken together, low hours, high churn, a 1-out-of-5 staffing rating, the pattern is a home running lean, and families should ask directly how many aides are on the floor on a Sunday evening.

Grant Healthcare and Rehabilitation runs 95 certified beds in Williamstown under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers pull in different directions. The health inspection side is genuinely solid, a recent September 2025 survey, no deficiencies at the harm or jeopardy level, and a four-star inspection rating. But look at what surrounds that. Nurse staffing sits at 3.20 hours per resident day, roughly 17 percent under the national average, and weekends run about 12 percent thinner than weekdays. Annual turnover of 65.7 percent is well above the national 45.8 percent, meaning most of the people caring for your family member are relatively new. Thirteen deficiencies on record, four tied to abuse, with a one-star quality measure rating, round out a home that passes inspection but struggles to keep and staff its floors.

Dover Nursing & Rehabilitation Center runs 85 certified beds in Georgetown under for-profit LLC ownership, and its 4.04 nurse hours per resident day sit slightly above the national average of 3.86. That number looks better than it is, though, weekend staffing drops about 9% below the home's own weekday level, and annual turnover hits 58.6% against a national average of 45.8%. The inspection record is where the real concern sits: 29 deficiencies currently on file, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse. Four fines total $170,733, and the last inspection was March 19, 2026. A 1-out-of-5 staffing star rating alongside a 2-out-of-5 health inspection rating tells you the regulatory picture here is thin.

Lake Barkley runs lean on nursing hours, 3.30 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends are thinner still, about 5% below its own weekday staffing. That gap matters less when you consider the inspection record: 12 deficiencies on file, none causing harm or jeopardy, none abuse-related, and a recent April 2026 survey. The bigger concern is turnover at 61.1%, well above the 45.8% national average, which corporate ownership hasn't offset. Federal quality measures land at 2 out of 5 stars despite the 4-star inspection rating, a split that suggests care planning and outcomes don't match the clean survey history.

The Pavilion At Kenton runs on 2.85 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly a quarter below the national average, and weekends drop another 9 percent below what it manages on weekdays. Staff turnover sits at 76.1 percent, well above the 45.8 percent national figure, that's more than three-quarters of the nursing staff leaving in a year, which matters for whether residents see familiar faces. The current record carries 24 deficiencies, none flagged at the harm level and none abuse-related, and the last inspection was in March 2026. This is a for-profit limited liability company operating 82 certified beds, and the low inspection and staffing ratings reflect a building that's been cited often and runs lean.

Belmont Terrace runs on thin staffing for a 151-bed for-profit home. At 3.75 nurse hours per resident day, it sits slightly under the national average, and weekends drop another 7% below its own weekday coverage, meaning the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. The bigger warning sign is turnover: 59.1% of staff left over the past year against a national rate of 45.8%. On inspections, the record shows 54 deficiencies, including 8 at the harm or jeopardy level and 7 tied to abuse, with six fines totaling $35,980. The most recent inspection was April 2025.
