Lutheran Convalescent Home runs 4.82 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter more than the national average of 3.86, and its staff tends to stay, 31.5% turnover against a 45.8% national figure. Weekend coverage dips about 8% below weekday levels, which is worth asking about if your family visits on Saturdays or Sundays. The inspection record shows nine deficiencies, none at the harm level, though one is abuse-related, and the last full inspection was in November 2024. For a 251-bed for-profit home, that combination of heavy staffing and low turnover is the main thing separating it from the pack.

Lutheran Senior Services At Meramec Bluffs runs a small operation, 32 certified beds in Ballwin, and it's staffed like a place that intends to keep them. At 5.25 nurse hours per resident day, it sits roughly 36% above the national average of 3.86, and its 27.1% turnover is well under the 45.8% national figure, which suggests people stay. The tradeoff is weekends, when staffing drops about 14% below its own weekday level. The inspection record is strong: a 5-star health inspection rating, eight total deficiencies with none at the harm or jeopardy level, and a survey completed in October 2024. One abuse-related deficiency is on the record, so ask about it directly. Church-affiliated nonprofit ownership, and quality measures land at 4 stars.

Mason Pointe runs a nonprofit home with 63 beds in Chesterfield, and the numbers behind its record are mostly strong. Nurse staffing sits at 4.32 hours per resident day, about 12 percent above the national average, though weekend coverage drops roughly 13 percent from weekday levels, worth asking about if your family visits on Saturdays or Sundays. Staff turnover is 40.3 percent, below the national 45.8 percent, and its last health inspection came in August 2024 with a 5-star inspection rating and 17 deficiencies on record, none at the harm level, one abuse-related. That single abuse citation is the item to ask about directly before you decide.

Nhc Healthcare, Maryland Heights runs 220 certified beds under for-profit limited liability ownership, and its inspection record is genuinely solid, a 4/5 health inspection rating with 15 total deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level. One abuse-related deficiency is on the record, which is worth asking about directly. Staffing is where the picture gets mixed: 3.45 nurse hours per resident day sits about 11% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends run roughly 10% thinner than weekdays. The offsetting strength is retention, 28.6% annual turnover against a 45.8% national average means familiar faces, which matters for daily care. Quality measures also rate 4/5.

Barnes-Jewish Extended Care runs 120 certified beds as a nonprofit, and its nurse staffing sits at 5.09 hours per resident day, roughly a third above the national average of 3.86. That's the strongest part of the picture, though weekends dip about 19% below the home's own weekday coverage. Staff turnover is 54.5%, higher than the 45.8% national average, so people are cycling through even with the generous staffing numbers. The inspection record shows 30 deficiencies, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, with the most recent survey dated March 2026. Federal ratings land at 3 stars for health inspections and quality measures, 4 for staffing.

Nurse staffing at Anna House runs about 20% above the national average, at 4.62 hours per resident day, though weekends come in roughly 9% thinner than weekdays, worth asking about if your family member needs more help on Saturdays and Sundays. The inspection record shows 29 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related citation. That combination, solid overall staffing but a recent serious finding, is why it lands in the middle of the pack rather than at the top. It's a nonprofit home with 105 beds, last inspected in September 2024, and CMS gives it three stars each for health inspections, quality measures, and staffing. Nothing here is alarming, but ask directly about that harm-level deficiency and how weekend coverage actually works.

Delmar Gardens South runs on more nursing hours than most homes in the country, 5.42 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage slips only about 6% below weekdays. That's the strongest thing it has going. The trade-off shows up in turnover: 55.9% of staff leave each year, well above the 45.8% national figure, which matters for how well residents know their caregivers. Inspections look solid, ten deficiencies with one at the harm level and no abuse citations, and the most recent visit was September 2024. Quality measures score low, though, so the daily care picture is more mixed than the staffing numbers suggest.

Delmar Gardens of Chesterfield runs 227 certified beds under a for-profit limited liability company, and its staffing sits a bit thin, 3.77 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 2% under the national average, with weekends about 9% lighter than its own weekdays. Annual turnover is 48.8%, above the 45.8% national figure, which means the people caring for residents keep changing. The current record shows 39 deficiencies, including one tied to abuse; none reached harm or jeopardy level, and the most recent inspection was August 2025. Federal ratings land at 3 of 5 for health inspections and 2 of 5 for both quality measures and staffing.

Parkwood runs on 3.18 nursing hours per resident day, about 18% under the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage dips roughly 7% below its own weekday level, so the thinnest shifts come when families tend to visit. Staff turnover sits at 51.6%, above the 45.8% national figure, which means many of the people caring for your relative are new to the building. The current record carries 65 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse; its last inspection was August 2024. Inspections and quality measures each score 2 out of 5, staffing 1 out of 5. Corporate-owned, 130 beds. Ask how the low-staffing shifts are actually covered.

Delmar Gardens West is a 321-bed for-profit home in Town and Country, and the numbers pull in different directions. Nurse staffing sits at 3.62 hours per resident day, about 6% under the national average, and weekends run roughly 3% thinner than weekdays, so the floor is leanest exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover at 42.4% is slightly better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for consistency of care. What weighs things down is the inspection record: 30 deficiencies, two at harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, plus $22,623 in fines, with the most recent inspection in April 2025. The staffing rating is strong; the quality measure rating is not. Ask about weekend coverage and how those harm-level deficiencies were corrected.

Delmar Gardens of Meramec Valley runs 190 beds under corporate ownership, and its inspection record comes back clean where it counts most: zero deficiencies at the harm or jeopardy level, which is not nothing given 22 total findings on the books. Three of those are abuse-related, worth asking about directly. Where the numbers get shakier is staffing, 3.36 nurse hours per resident day sits about 13% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly another 10% below its own weekday levels. Turnover runs 47.8%, slightly above the national 45.8%. A recent December 2025 inspection means the picture is current.

Pillars of North County runs about 2.39 nurse hours per resident day against a national average near 3.86, roughly 38% less hands-on time than the typical home. Weekends dip even further, about 16% below what the building staffs on weekdays, and nearly half the nursing staff turned over in the past year. State inspectors cited 59 deficiencies on the current record, including two at the harm level and four tied to abuse. The five-star quality measure score reflects how well the home documents resident care, but the one-star staffing rating and the inspection history tell you what those daily hours actually look like.

Lemay Nursing runs 60 beds under corporate ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 2.86 hours per resident per day, roughly a quarter below the national average of 3.86. That thin coverage is the number to weigh most heavily, since it's the daily reality of how quickly call lights get answered. Weekend staffing dips about 3% below its own weekday level, so the gap doesn't close when families visit. Turnover is 36.8%, actually better than the 45.8% national figure, which means aides and nurses stick around longer than at many homes. But the inspection record carries 37 deficiencies, including one at harm level and two abuse-related, with the last inspection in May 2025. Ask about those directly.

Christian Extended Care & Rehabilitation runs 60 beds as a nonprofit, and its last inspection in March 2025 came back clean at the serious end, 12 deficiencies on record, none causing harm or jeopardy, none tied to abuse. Nurse staffing sits at 3.69 hours per resident day, a bit under the national 3.86, and weekends dip about 12% below the home's own weekday coverage. Turnover is the bright spot: 38.7%, better than the 45.8% national figure, which suggests aides and nurses tend to stay. The tradeoff shows in the federal stars, five for inspections, but two for staffing. Consistent care from a stable team, thinner coverage on weekends.

Sherbrooke Village runs a nonprofit shop with 149 beds in Saint Louis, and the nurses' hours look generous on paper, 4.85 per resident day, about a quarter above the national average. The catch is consistency: weekends drop roughly 18% below weekday coverage, and more than six in ten staff members leave each year, well above the 45.8% national rate. That churn shows up in the inspection record, where 49 deficiencies include 3 at harm or jeopardy level and 4 tied to abuse, with the most recent look coming in June 2024. Quality measures score well, but staffing and health inspection ratings sit at 2 out of 5.

Delmar Gardens North runs 240 beds in Black Jack, and the staffing numbers are the first thing worth knowing. At 3.56 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 8% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly another 8% below its own weekday level, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Turnover, at 42.9%, is slightly better than the 45.8% national figure, which is one genuine bright spot. The rest is harder: 34 deficiencies on the current record, including 3 at harm or jeopardy level and 2 tied to abuse, plus a $39,299 fine. Its last inspection was November 2025, so the record is recent.

Monarch Springs runs thin on nursing staff, 2.87 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 12% below what the building already provides on weekdays. That gap matters most on Saturdays and Sundays, when families often visit and notice. The inspection record adds weight: 34 deficiencies, two serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, with the most recent state visit in July 2024. Corporate for-profit ownership and 119 certified beds round out the picture. Nothing here suggests abuse, and quality measures land mid-range, but the staffing numbers and the harm-level findings are the two things I'd ask about directly before choosing this one.

Life Care Center of Bridgeton runs on thin nursing coverage. At 3.32 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 14% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly another 15% below its own weekday levels. Staff turnover is the bigger tell: 68.2% annually, well above the 45.8% national figure, which means caregivers are constantly new to residents. The inspection record backs that up, 58 deficiencies, including two at harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse, plus one fine of $21,801. The last inspection was February 2025, so the record is current. Ownership is for-profit, a limited liability company. Quality measures look decent; staffing is where the problems concentrate.

Nazareth Living Center runs on thin staffing margins. At 3.69 nurse hours per resident day, it sits below the national average, and weekends dip about 11% below its own weekday levels, so the hours when families visit most are often the leanest. The bigger warning sign is turnover: 77.4% of nursing staff leaving annually, well above the 45.8% national figure, which typically means less continuity for residents who need consistent caregivers. Its inspection record shows 49 deficiencies, including two at harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, with one fine of $11,928. The most recent inspection was March 2025, so the record is current, not stale. This nonprofit has real problems worth asking about directly.

Stonebridge Florissant runs on thin staffing. At 3.28 nurse hours per resident day, it sits roughly 15 percent under the national average, and weekends drop another 18 percent below its own weekday numbers, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Turnover tells a related story: 75.9 percent of staff leave within a year, well above the 45.8 percent national figure, which means unfamiliar faces and constant retraining. The inspection record is current, dated August 2025, with 37 deficiencies but none flagged at harm or jeopardy level, and none abuse-related. That's a meaningful distinction. Still, a 1-out-of-5 staffing rating with that churn rate is the number to weigh hardest when you tour.
