Maywood Terrace runs on thinner staffing than most homes, about 3.49 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends dip roughly 9% below what the building manages on weekdays. The turnover number is the one that should stop you: 92.6% of staff leaving annually, when the typical U.S. nursing home sits near 45.8%. That kind of churn usually means caregivers who know your mother's routine aren't there long enough to learn it. The inspection record backs up the concern: 54 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, with a 2/5 inspection rating and 1/5 on both quality measures and staffing. It's for-profit, LLC-owned, last inspected July 2024.
Abode Health and Wellness Center in Independence has more direct-care nursing hours than the typical U.S. nursing home, 4.21 per resident day against a national average of 3.86. That's the one number here that looks reassuring, and it comes with a caveat: weekend staffing drops about 4% below the home's own weekday level.
Everything else on the record is hard to get past. CMS has cited 80 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and nine tied to abuse. Fines total $269,476 across 24 penalties, and the home sits in Medicare's Special Focus Facility program, reserved for the country's most persistently troubled homes. Its last inspection was in February 2025. Staffing hours don't fix an inspection record like that.
Parkway Health Care Center runs on 2.25 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 42% under the national average, and weekends drop about 10% below its own weekday level. That thin coverage sits behind a one-star staffing rating. The inspection record is heavier: 98 deficiencies, including 2 at harm or jeopardy level and 8 tied to abuse, drawing $30,821 in fines. Staff turnover hits 67.4% against a national 45.8%, so the people providing care keep changing. The most recent inspection was October 23, 2024. Corporate-owned, 97 beds.
Bridgewood runs on 2.45 nursing hours per resident per day, roughly a third below the national average, and weekend coverage drops another 9% below its own weekday level, so the thinnest shifts are the ones families visit. Staff turnover sits at 58.3% against a national 45.8%, meaning the people providing that care are frequently new. The inspection record is what stands out most: 125 deficiencies, 26 of them at harm or jeopardy level, 36 tied to abuse, and $973,967 in fines across 13 penalties. CMS has placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, reserved for homes with a persistent pattern of poor care. The most recent inspection was April 28, 2025.
Jefferson Health Care runs 118 beds in Lees Summit under corporate ownership, and the numbers describe a home stretched thin. Nurse staffing sits at 3.39 hours per resident day, roughly 12% under the national average, with weekends running about 16% below its own weekday level, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Staff turnover is 64.2% against a national 45.8%, meaning most of the people caring for residents this year probably won't be there next year. The inspection record shows 61 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and three tied to abuse, plus $34,459 in fines. That inspection was recent, April 2025, so the picture isn't stale.
Edgewood Manor is a for-profit LLC home in Raytown with 91 certified beds, and the numbers that matter most here are the staffing ones. At 2.61 nurse hours per resident per day, it runs roughly a third below the national average of 3.86, weekends dip even further, and 70% of staff turned over in a year, well above the 45.8% norm. Its inspection record carries 72 deficiencies, including 6 at harm or jeopardy level and 10 tied to abuse, plus two fines totaling $84,557. The last inspection was October 2024. Quality measures score mid-range, but thin, churning staffing and that deficiency history are what families should weigh.
Gregory Ridge is a 116-bed for-profit home in Kansas City, and the numbers behind its record are hard to argue with. Nurse staffing sits at 2.37 hours per resident day, roughly 39% below the national average, and it thins out further on weekends. Staff turnover runs 68.4% a year against a national average of 45.8%, which means the people caring for residents are, more often than not, new or on their way out.
That instability shows up in the inspection record: 100 deficiencies, 15 of them at harm or jeopardy level, 18 abuse-related, and six fines totaling $708,002. CMS has placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, a designation reserved for the country's most persistently troubled homes.
Raintree Village runs a small house, 40 beds, and staffs it well above the national average at 4.92 nurse hours per resident day. That cushion matters most on weekends, and here it thins by about 14% against the home's own weekday coverage, which is worth asking about directly since that's when families tend to visit and notice. The inspection record is thin: one deficiency on file, nothing at the harm or jeopardy level, no abuse citations, and the most recent state visit came in May 2025. Corporate ownership doesn't tell you much on its own, but combined with that staffing and citation picture, the numbers suggest a home that has been running clean.
