Deupree Cottages runs on a small scale, 24 certified beds under nonprofit ownership, and the staffing numbers reflect that attention. At 5.39 nurse hours per resident day, it sits roughly 40% above the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage stays within about 10% of its weekday level, so care doesn't thin out when families tend to visit. Staff turnover tells its own story: 15.8% against a national 45.8% means aides and nurses are staying put, which matters for residents who depend on familiar faces. Thirteen deficiencies on record with none at the harm level and none abuse-related, plus a July 2025 inspection, round out a picture of a home that's both well-staffed and recently reviewed.

Ohio Living Cape May runs a small house in Wilmington, 23 certified beds, nonprofit-owned, and the staffing numbers are the first thing that stands out. At 4.89 nurse hours per resident day, it sits roughly 27% above the national average of 3.86, and its annual turnover of 22.7% is about half the national rate. Weekend coverage does dip about 17% below its own weekday level, which is worth asking about directly. The inspection record shows 11 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, one abuse-related; the most recent inspection was June 2023, so the record is getting stale. A 4/5 on health inspections with 5/5 on quality and staffing measures is a solid profile for a home this size.

Ohio Living Llanfair runs a small 36-bed nonprofit home in Hamilton County, and the staffing numbers are the story here. At 5.28 nurse hours per resident day, it's well above the national average, and weekend coverage only dips about 14% from weekdays, less than many places manage. Staff turnover sits at 28.2%, noticeably below the national rate, which matters for consistency of care. On the record: 14 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, though two are abuse-related and worth asking about directly. The most recent inspection was December 31, 2025, so the picture is current. For a family weighing options, the staffing depth and low turnover are the real signals behind the A.

Ohio Living Sarah Moore runs about 4.53 nurse hours per resident each day, roughly 17% above the national average, and its staff tends to stay: turnover sits at 37%, better than the 45.8% national figure. Weekend coverage dips about 10% below its own weekday staffing, so ask how that plays out on Saturdays and Sundays. The 19 deficiencies on record include none tied to harm or abuse, and the most recent inspection was in March 2026. Quality and staffing both score 5 out of 5 in CMS data, while inspections land at 3. This is a small nonprofit home, 47 beds, that performs well where it counts and has a clean harm record.

Ohio Living Mount Pleasant runs a small 32-bed nonprofit home in Monroe, and the numbers behind its grade start with staffing: 4.08 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 6% above the national average. Weekend coverage dips about 6% below its own weekday level, which is worth asking about. Staff turnover sits at 30%, well under the national 45.8%, so the people caring for residents tend to stay. The tradeoff shows up in its inspection record, 11 deficiencies, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, though none abuse-related. Its last inspection was in January 2026, recent enough to trust. Strong quality measures and steady staffing carry this one; the deficiency history is what to weigh.

Westerwood Rehabilitation sits at 75 certified beds in Columbus, run by a for-profit corporation. The numbers that stand out: nurse staffing at 4.32 hours per resident day, roughly 12% above the national average, and staff turnover near 31% against a national figure closer to 46%, a meaningful gap when consistent caregivers matter to families. Weekend coverage dips about 10% below weekday levels, which is common but worth asking about. The home carries 19 deficiencies on its current record, none at the harm level, though one is abuse-related. Its last inspection was February 2026, so the picture is recent.

Marjorie P Lee Retirement Community runs on unusually heavy nurse staffing for a nursing home, 5.30 hours per resident day, roughly a third more than the national figure. Weekend coverage dips only slightly from weekday levels, and turnover sits well under the national rate, which matters because stable caregivers tend to know residents' routines. The trade-off is a recent record with four deficiencies, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, though none tied to abuse. Inspectors were last in on January 29, 2026, so the picture is current, not stale. As a nonprofit with 88 beds, it isn't chasing volume; the numbers suggest a home placing real weight on direct care, with one inspection finding worth asking about directly.

Daughters of Miriam, a 233-bed for-profit home in Beachwood, runs rich on paper: 5.60 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 45% above the national average, and top CMS marks for staffing and quality measures. But weekends drop about 22% below weekday staffing, and turnover sits at 54.2% against a 45.8% national average, so that bench is expensive to keep filled. Inspections tell the harder story, a 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating, 48 deficiencies on the current record with 5 at harm or jeopardy level, and a survey as recent as November 2024. Strong daily coverage, shaky oversight. Ask what those harm-level citations involved and how weekend coverage is actually staffed.

S.e.m. Haven Health Care Center runs on 4.51 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 17 percent above the national average, and its staff turnover of 37.4% sits well under the 45.8% national figure, a combination that usually means aides and nurses stick around long enough to know the residents. The 15 deficiencies on file are worth noting, though none reached harm or jeopardy level and none involved abuse. Weekend staffing dips about 11% below its own weekday coverage, so ask how that plays out on Saturdays and Sundays. Inspectors were last in on October 11, 2025, and the nonprofit owner has kept this building's health inspection record at 4 out of 5 stars.

Knolls Of Oxford runs on a nonprofit model with 50 certified beds in Butler County, and the inspection record is where it stands out, a five-star health inspection rating with just two deficiencies on file, though one of those reached harm or jeopardy level, which is worth asking about directly. Staffing sits at 3.67 nurse hours per resident day, about 5% under the national average, and weekends dip another 5% below the home's own weekday coverage. Turnover is the quieter strength here: 33.3% against a national average near 46%, meaning fewer unfamiliar faces from shift to shift. The last inspection was in December 2025, so the picture is current.

Otterbein Springboro runs 4.44 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 15 percent above the national average, and the weekend dip is only about 5 percent, small enough that care doesn't visibly change on Saturdays. Staff turnover sits at 42.9 percent, a bit better than the 45.8 percent national figure, which matters because consistent aides know the residents. The 25 deficiencies on record include nothing at the harm or jeopardy level and nothing abuse-related. The tradeoff is a middle-of-the-road health inspection rating of 3 out of 5, with the most recent inspection in April 2026, so the record is current. Quality measures score 5 out of 5.

Ayden Healthcare of Wauseon runs a tight ship on the things families often can't see day to day. Staff turnover of 14.6% is strikingly low next to the 45.8% national rate, which usually means people stick around and know the residents, and while overall nurse hours (3.74 per resident day) sit just under the national 3.86, the bigger caveat is weekends, when coverage drops roughly 11% below weekday levels. The health inspection record is the weak spot: 41 deficiencies, including one at harm level and two tied to abuse, with the most recent inspection in August 2024. Quality measures score well, but that inspection history and family-owned for-profit structure deserve your questions on a visit.

Ohio Living Lake Vista runs a tight ship. The Cortland nonprofit has 39 certified beds and enough nurses on hand to deliver 4.42 hours of care per resident each day, roughly 15% more than the national average, and its most recent inspection, in January 2026, left six deficiencies on the books, none of them involving harm, jeopardy, or abuse. Weekend coverage dips about 9% below weekday levels, which is worth asking about if your family visits on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover sits at 49%, a touch above the national figure of 45.8%, so continuity of caregivers isn't guaranteed. The numbers say consistent, well-staffed care with room to improve retention.

Weekend coverage dips roughly 12% below weekday levels, so ask how that plays out on Saturdays and Sundays. The inspection record is clean where it matters, six deficiencies total, none at the harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related, with the most recent survey in March 2025. Corporate for-profit ownership is the main thing to keep in mind; the numbers here are solid, but ownership type is worth asking about directly.

Nurse staffing at Ohio Living Dorothy Love runs about 4.39 hours per resident day, roughly 14 percent above the national average, and that margin matters most on weekends, coverage there drops about 12 percent below the home's own weekday level. Staff turnover sits at 36.4 percent, well under the national 45.8 percent, which suggests people tend to stay. The 17 deficiencies on file include none at the harm or jeopardy level and none related to abuse, and the most recent inspection came in March 2025, so the record is current. Shelby County's nonprofit home doesn't have a clean sheet, but nothing in it points to danger.

Weekends dip roughly 12% below its own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts are predictable. Turnover is the bright spot: 19.6% against a national 45.8%, meaning the aides and nurses who are there tend to stay. Inspections tell a harder story, 41 deficiencies on the current record, one tied to abuse, and a one-star health inspection rating, though nothing rose to actual harm or jeopardy. The most recent inspection was April 2, 2026.

Brookdale Westlake Village runs 60 certified beds in Cuyahoga County under corporate ownership, and the nurse staffing comes in around 4.27 hours per resident day, roughly 11% above the national average. That number slips on weekends, though, landing about 15% below what the same building provides Monday through Friday, so the coverage your family sees on a Tuesday may not be what shows up on a Sunday. Staff turnover sits at 44.6%, basically level with the national figure, and the home's nine deficiencies include one tied to abuse, though none rose to the level of actual harm or jeopardy. Its last inspection was October 2024.

The Laurels of Worthington runs 95 beds under corporate ownership, and its nursing hours come in around 12 percent under the national average, with weekends thinner still. That gap matters most on Saturdays and Sundays, when fewer hands are on the floor. Turnover is the bright spot: 25.7 percent against a national average near 46 percent, so the staff who are there tend to stay. The inspection record shows 31 deficiencies, none at the level of harm or immediate jeopardy, though one is abuse-related. State surveyors last visited in November 2024. Quality measures score well, which suggests residents' clinical outcomes hold up despite the leaner daily staffing.

Brookhaven runs a tight operation. Nurse staffing sits at 3.92 hours per resident day, just above the national mark, and the 29.9% turnover rate is far better than the 45.8% typical nationwide, that stability matters more than a single good week of coverage, though weekend hours do run about 11% under weekday levels. The inspection record backs it up: 14 deficiencies on file, none at the harm level, none abuse-related, with the most recent survey completed in April 2026. For-profit individual ownership doesn't guarantee anything either way, but the numbers here suggest a home that mostly does what it says.

Staffing at Willows At Willard runs a little under four hours of nurse time per resident each day, roughly 4% below the national average, with weekends dipping another 2% below its own weekday pattern. The bigger number is turnover: 32.4% against a national average of 45.8%, which suggests people stay here longer than they do at most homes. State inspectors have cited 13 deficiencies, none reaching harm or jeopardy and none tied to abuse, and the most recent inspection was in April 2026. A for-profit corporation owns the 69-bed building, and quality measures score well above average.
