Abuse icon on record

Burlington House runs 122 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership in Cincinnati, and the staffing numbers are the first thing to look at. At 3.26 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 16% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly another 10% below its own weekday level, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover at 41.5% is slightly better than the 45.8% national figure, which helps. The inspection record is the bigger concern: 31 deficiencies, including 2 at harm or jeopardy level and 3 abuse-related, with the last inspection in May 2024. Quality measure scores look strong, but that record deserves direct questions before you decide.

Abuse icon on record

Lincoln Crawford runs 96 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.46 hours per resident day, roughly 10% under the national average, with weekends dropping about 11% below its own weekday coverage. Annual turnover is 55.4% against a national 45.8%, so the staff caring for residents is changing over at a high rate. The inspection record shows 19 deficiencies, including 2 at harm or jeopardy level and 4 tied to abuse; the most recent inspection was August 2025. Quality measures score well, but that sits against a two-out-of-five inspection rating and thin, uneven staffing.

Ayden Healthcare of Madeira runs about 3.07 nursing hours per resident day, roughly a fifth below the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage dips another 8% below its own weekday level. Staff turnover sits at 65% against a national 45.8%, so the people showing up are frequently new. The current record carries 80 deficiencies, three of them abuse-related, none flagged at harm or jeopardy level, and the last inspection was in December 2025. The 4/5 quality measure score reflects how residents' conditions are tracked, but with 1/5 on both staffing and health inspections, the daily reality is thin coverage and constant churn.

Nurse hours

Staff turnover

Indianspring Of Oakley runs 144 certified beds in Cincinnati under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing numbers are where the trouble sits. Nurses provide 3.70 hours per resident day, about 4% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 8% below what the home itself staffs during the week, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Annual turnover of 63% against a 45.8% national rate means aides and nurses cycle through constantly, which matters more than any single number because unfamiliar caregivers miss changes in condition. The record shows 25 deficiencies, including two at harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, plus one fine of $17,345. A recent July 2025 inspection and decent quality scores don't offset that staffing picture.

Harrison Pavilion runs on 3.31 nursing hours per resident day, about 14 percent under the national average, and weekends drop roughly another 15 percent below its own weekday level. That thin coverage shows up in the numbers: 69.3 percent annual turnover, well above the 45.8 percent national figure, and a one-star staffing rating from CMS. The health inspection record is heavier than most, 67 deficiencies, three flagged at harm or jeopardy level, three abuse-related, and the last inspection was September 2025. A four-star quality measure score stands out against all of that, but quality measures come from resident assessments, not from how many hands are on the floor.

Lakeridge Villa runs about 3.09 nurse hours per resident per day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly another 10% below its own weekday staffing. That thin coverage helps explain a 1-out-of-5 staffing rating and a 69.4% annual turnover rate, well above the 45.8% national figure. The inspection record shows 40 deficiencies, including two tied to abuse, though none rose to the harm or jeopardy level. Hamilton County families comparing options should weigh whether the 4-out-of-5 quality measure score holds up when the people delivering that care keep changing.

Abuse icon on record

Aventura At West Park runs on thin staffing: 3.69 nurse hours per resident day sits about 4% under the national average, weekends drop roughly 9% below its own weekday levels, and annual turnover hits 68.8% against a national norm of 45.8%. That churn matters more than any single inspection finding. The record backs it up, 41 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy, seven tied to abuse, and a $16,801 fine, with the last inspection in April 2024. Corporate for-profit ownership, 125 beds, and a CMS staffing rating of 1 out of 5. What the quality measure score of 4 out of 5 reflects is the clinical data the home reports on its own residents; it doesn't offset what inspectors found or how fast the staff turns over. Ask about direct-care staffing on weekends before you decide anything.

Special Focus Facility

The Arc At Cincinnati runs 3.56 nurse staffing hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 17% below its own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts are when families tend to visit. Annual turnover hits 58.3% compared to 45.8% nationally, meaning many of the people caring for residents are still learning the building. The current inspection record carries 85 deficiencies, including 7 at harm or jeopardy level and 8 tied to abuse, with $233,690 in federal fines. CMS has placed this for-profit LLC home in its Special Focus Facility program, and its last inspection was December 2025.
