Staff turnover

Altercare Thornville runs 50 beds under corporate ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.76 nurse hours per resident day, just under the 3.86 national average, with weekends about 12% thinner than weekdays. Turnover is 38%, better than the 45.8% national figure. The trouble is in the record: 36 deficiencies, including one at harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, plus a $97,565 fine. That inspection history, most recently dated February 2026, is what pulls the health inspection rating down to 2 out of 5 even as quality measures score 5. Ask about the abuse deficiencies and the weekend coverage before you decide.

Staff turnover

Forest Hills Healthcare Center is a for-profit LLC home with 138 certified beds in Cincinnati. Its quality measure score is genuinely strong, but that number sits alongside 29 deficiencies on the current record, including one at the harm or jeopardy level, and a single fine of $16,801. Staffing tells a similar mixed story: 3.71 nurse hours per resident day runs about 4% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 9% below the home's own weekday coverage, so care thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover of 48.3% edges past the 45.8% national figure. The most recent inspection was April 30, 2026, which is recent enough to reflect current conditions rather than old problems.

Otterbein At Maineville runs a nonprofit shop with 60 beds, and the raw staffing number is the strongest thing going for it: 4.49 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 16% above the national average. Weekends dip only slightly, so coverage stays fairly steady. The tradeoff is turnover, 59.6% annually against a 45.8% national figure, meaning nearly six in ten staff left last year despite the generous hours. Its current record carries 32 deficiencies, three serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, plus $43,514 in fines across three penalties. The last inspection was in April 2025. Strong daily care capacity, but a revolving door and a lengthy inspection history are the real story here.

The Meadows of Ottawa runs on 3.20 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 17 percent under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 15 percent below its own weekday staffing. That's the pattern to watch if your family member needs help on a Saturday. Turnover sits at 39.2 percent, better than the 45.8 percent national figure, so the crew here is comparatively stable. The current record shows 26 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, though none tied to abuse; the last inspection was January 30, 2025. Corporate-owned and Medicare-certified for 86 beds, its quality measures score well while staffing and inspections land in the middle.

Grand The in Dublin runs 128 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its inspection record is the first thing that stands out: 66 deficiencies, two of them serious enough to cause harm or jeopardy, plus three tied to abuse. The last inspection was March 17, 2026, so that record is recent, not stale. Nurse staffing sits at 3.61 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 7% below the home's own weekday coverage, the stretches when families often visit. Turnover at 40.8% is actually better than the 45.8% national figure. The five-star quality measure score reflects charted care, not the inspection findings, and those two numbers are telling different stories here.

Smiths Mill runs a corporation-owned home of 58 beds where the care numbers pull in two directions. The clinical quality scores look strong, but staffing sits at 3.57 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, weekends run about 13% thinner than weekdays, and more than half the nursing staff turns over each year, 56.7% versus 45.8% nationally. The inspection record is the bigger concern: 51 deficiencies, three tied to abuse, and a two-star health inspection rating. None of those reached actual harm, and the last survey was recent, in April 2026. Consistency of caregivers is the question mark here.

Johnstown Pointe runs a tight ship on inspections, six deficiencies on record, none of them serious enough to cause harm and none tied to abuse, with the most recent state visit in April 2026. Staff turnover sits at 41.1%, a few points better than the national average, which matters in a building this size. Where it slips is daily coverage: 3.72 nurse hours per resident is modestly under the national figure, and weekends dip about 10% below the home's own weekday numbers, so Saturday and Sunday care can feel thinner than what you'd see midweek. A corporate-owned, 80-bed home that inspects clean and keeps its workers longer than most.

Tamarack Ridge runs a 96-bed for-profit home in Kent, and its inspection record is the strongest part of the picture: seven deficiencies on file, none serious enough to cause harm, and a survey completed in April 2025. The abuse-related citation is worth asking about directly. Staffing is thinner than average, 3.63 nurse hours per resident day against 3.86 nationally, and weekends dip about 9% below the home's own weekday numbers, so ask how coverage holds up on Saturdays and Sundays. Turnover at 40.4% is better than the 45.8% national figure, which suggests less churn than many competitors. Quality measures score well; staffing is the softer spot.

Scenic Pointe runs lean on nursing hours, 3.11 per resident day, roughly 19% under the national average, and weekends dip about 20% below its own weekday levels, which matters most when families visit and fewer eyes are on residents. The tradeoff is stability: turnover sits at 29.7% against a national 45.8%, so the aides and nurses you meet are likelier to still be there next year. Inspections look solid, with a 4-star health inspection rating, no harm-level or abuse deficiencies among the 12 on record, and a recent survey. Individual for-profit ownership, 150 beds. The staffing number is the thing to ask about directly.

Harding Pointe runs about 18% below the national average on nurse staffing, and weekends drop roughly 16% below its own weekday levels, that's the pattern that matters most here, because thin coverage gets thinner exactly when families tend to visit. Staff turnover of 34.8% is better than the 45.8% national figure, so the people who are there tend to stay. The 18 deficiencies on record include one abuse-related finding, though none rose to harm or jeopardy, and the most recent inspection was in December 2025. Quality measures look strong; staffing measures don't. For-profit corporate ownership rounds out the picture.

Burbank Parke runs lean on nursing hours, 3.48 per resident per day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends thin out further, roughly 19 percent below what the building staffs on weekdays. That pattern matters more than the raw headcount, since gaps tend to show up when fewer people are watching. The tradeoff is stability: turnover sits at 29.2 percent, well under the 45.8 percent national figure, so the aides and nurses who are there tend to stay. Twenty-two deficiencies sit on the current record, none tied to harm, jeopardy, or abuse, and the last full inspection was in late 2023. Corporate-owned, 81 beds. Ask about weekend coverage and who actually answers the call light on a Sunday.

Clifton Healthcare Center runs 3.17 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 18% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 12% below its own weekday staffing. That thin coverage sits behind a 2-out-of-5 staffing rating even though the home scores 5 out of 5 on quality measures, a split worth asking about directly. Turnover is the bright spot: 25.9% against a national 45.8%, meaning the aides and nurses who are there tend to stay. Twenty-three deficiencies appear on the current record, none at harm level, one abuse-related, and the last inspection was April 2026. If you tour, ask how the weekend shift is actually covered.

Southbrook runs lean on nurse staffing, 3.15 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends dipping about 10% below its own weekdays. That thin coverage shows up in the inspection record: 35 deficiencies, including two at the harm level and four abuse-related, and a 2/5 health inspection rating. The 5/5 quality measure score reflects how well the home documents resident care items, but it sits alongside a 2/5 staffing rating, so the two don't tell the same story. Turnover at 31% is actually better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for consistency of care. The most recent inspection was May 2025.

Arbors West runs 94 certified beds as a for-profit corporation, and its staffing sits about 11% under the national average, 3.43 nurse hours per resident day against 3.86 nationally. Weekends thin out further, roughly 14% below what the home staffs on weekdays, and turnover runs 52.7% against a national 45.8%. Inspections tell a mixed story: 42 deficiencies on record, none at harm or jeopardy level, one abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in March 2025. Quality measures score well, but health inspection results land at 2 out of 5. The picture is a home that charts decent clinical outcomes while running lean on the floor and cycling through staff.

Evergreen Healthcare Center runs on 3.27 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 15% under the national average of 3.86, and weekend staffing drops about another 10% below its own weekday level. That thinner coverage shows up in the inspection record too: 27 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse. Staff turnover sits at 46.5%, essentially matching the national rate, so this isn't a retention crisis so much as a steady churn. The corporate owner, the recent April 2026 inspection, and a 4/5 quality measure score are the brighter spots. If you're weighing this one, ask directly how weekends and evenings are covered.

Arbors At Oregon runs about 4.25 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 10% above the national average of 3.86, but weekend coverage drops about 15% below its own weekday level, so the staffing cushion thins out when families tend to visit. The inspection record is the harder problem: 47 deficiencies, three at harm or jeopardy level and two abuse-related, with $36,224 in fines and a one-star health inspection rating, though the last inspection was August 2024. Staff turnover sits at 45.6%, essentially the national average. Quality measures score five stars while health inspections score one, that gap is worth asking about directly, since it usually means the daily care numbers look better on paper than the surveyor findings suggest.

Carecore At Minster runs a fairly well-staffed building, 4.45 nurse hours per resident day sits about 15% above the national average, and a 26.5% turnover rate is well below the typical 45.8%, which matters because consistent caregivers tend to know residents better. The catch is on the inspection side: a 2-out-of-5 health inspection rating, 29 deficiencies on record, including two at the harm level and two tied to abuse, plus a $28,743 fine. Staffing and quality measures look strong on paper, but the last inspection in September 2025 still turned up real problems.

Lake Pointe runs lean on the floor: 3.11 nurse hours per resident day sits about 20% under the national figure of 3.86, and weekends dip roughly 7% below its own weekday staffing. Turnover is the exception, 33.8% is meaningfully better than the 45.8% national rate, suggesting people stay. The inspection record is mixed: 4 of 5 stars for health inspections and a perfect quality-measure score, but 20 deficiencies on file, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse. One fine totaling $8,021. The last visit was October 2024, so that record is reasonably current.

Country View Of Sunbury runs a tight ship on inspections, a five-star health inspection record with just nine deficiencies on the books and none at the harm or jeopardy level. The last survey was in June 2025, so the picture is current. Where it gives some ground is staffing: 3.66 nurse hours per resident day sits about 5% under the national average, and weekends dip roughly 9% below the home's own weekday coverage. Turnover is 40.6%, which sounds high but actually beats the 45.8% national figure. So you're looking at a home that's clean on care quality and inspections, with staffing that's slightly thin and a weekend gap worth asking about directly.

Crystal Care Center of Franklin Furnace is a small for-profit home in Scioto County, just 30 certified beds, and its inspection record is genuinely strong. Ten deficiencies on the current record, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, plus a recent inspection in April 2026. Where it comes up short is staffing: 3.70 nurse hours per resident day sits about 4% under the national average, weekends run roughly 9% thinner than weekdays, and annual turnover of 53.3% is well above the 45.8% national figure. High turnover and thin weekend coverage matter most when a resident needs something at 2 a.m. on a Sunday. The care quality and inspection scores look good; the question is whether the staffing can hold that up.
