How chain-owned homes in the United States compare
This group set against every nursing home in the United States, from the current CMS release.
Avir At San Antonio runs on 2.63 nurse staffing hours per resident per day, roughly a third below the national average, and weekends drop about 9% below its own weekday level, so coverage is thinnest when families tend to visit. Staff turnover sits at 60.7%, well above the 45.8% national figure, which means the people caring for your relative are often new to the building. The inspection record shows 43 deficiencies, including three at the harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse, with $29,494 in fines across three penalties. Its most recent inspection was August 30, 2025, and the corporation that owns it holds a for-profit license.
Austin Wellness & Rehabilitation runs on 2.63 nurse hours per resident each day, roughly a third below the national average of 3.86, and weekend staffing drops another 9% below its own weekday level. That thin coverage sits behind a 1-out-of-5 inspection rating and 62 deficiencies on the current record, four of them at harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse. Staff turnover is 61.3% against a national 45.8%, meaning the aides and nurses your family member sees may keep changing. Three fines total $166,205, and the last inspection was March 2025. For-profit, individually owned, 120 beds.
Parham Health Care & Rehab Center runs a 180-bed for-profit operation in Henrico County, and the staffing numbers are the first thing that stand out. At 2.93 nurse hours per resident day, it's about a quarter below the national average, and weekends drop another 14% under its own weekday levels, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Turnover sits at 62.2%, well above the 45.8% national figure, which means the people providing care are often new. The inspection record backs that up: 126 deficiencies, ten at harm or jeopardy level, plus 11 abuse-related findings and two fines totaling $266,181. CMS has placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, a designation reserved for homes with a persistent pattern of serious problems.
Portsmouth Health and Rehab runs on 3.24 nursing hours per resident per day, about 16 percent under the national average, and weekends dip roughly 14 percent below its own weekday coverage. Staff turnover sits at 61.5 percent against a national figure near 46 percent, so the people caring for residents are cycling out faster than at a typical home. The inspection record backs up those numbers: 64 deficiencies, six serious enough to cause harm or jeopardy, three tied to abuse, and $134,401 in fines. The last full inspection was in May 2021, which means families are relying on a picture that's several years old. For-profit corporate ownership.
Waters Edge runs 128 certified beds in Kenosha under corporate for-profit ownership, and the numbers here are hard to dress up. Nurse staffing sits at 3.53 hours per resident day, roughly 9% under the national average, weekend coverage drops another 11% below its own weekday level, and annual turnover hits 63.2% against a national 45.8%. Those staffing figures match a one-star CMS staffing rating and a one-star health inspection rating. The deficiency record shows 74 total, including 8 at harm or jeopardy level and 7 tied to abuse, along with a $54,055 fine. CMS has placed this home in its Special Focus Facility program, which is reserved for the country's most persistently troubled nursing homes. The most recent inspection was September 30, 2025.
Greenhill Villas runs on thin staffing even before the weekend squeeze: 3.10 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 15% below its own weekday level. That's the kind of gap families notice as slower call-button response. Staff turnover sits at 95.2%, more than double the national 45.8%, so the aide who knows your mother's routine this month may be gone the next. The current record carries 47 deficiencies, including three at harm or jeopardy level and five tied to abuse, plus $154,116 in fines across three penalties. The last inspection was June 2025. Corporate-owned, 150 beds.
Forest Park runs on 2.92 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter below the national average, and weekend coverage dips about 8% below its own weekday level. That thin staffing shows up in a 67.8% annual turnover rate, well above the 45.8% national figure. Its inspection record carries 53 deficiencies, eight at the harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse, along with four fines totaling $193,834. The most recent inspection was February 2026. A 4/5 quality measure score sits alongside 1/5 ratings for both staffing and health inspections, worth knowing what that quality number actually measures before weighing it against the rest.
Bria Of Woodriver sits at 3.86 nurse hours per resident day, which lands right on the national average, but that number hides a staffing schedule that thins out considerably on weekends, dropping about 16 percent below its own weekday levels. The bigger problem is who's providing that care and for how long: annual turnover runs 78.5 percent, well above the national 45.8 percent, meaning most of the people caring for your family member will be gone within a year. Behind those numbers is a one-star health inspection rating, 64 deficiencies on the current record with 18 at harm or jeopardy level and 7 tied to abuse, and $492,838 in fines across seven penalties. CMS has placed this home in its Special Focus Facility program, a designation reserved for the persistently worst performers.
Onondaga Center runs 82 beds under corporate ownership, and its staffing is the first thing that stands out: 3.25 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 16% under the national average, with weekends about 20% thinner than weekdays. Turnover sits near 70% against a national rate around 46%, so the people caring for residents keep changing.
The inspection record backs that up, 48 deficiencies, four serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, three tied to abuse, and $191,992 in fines across three penalties. CMS has placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, a designation for homes with a pattern of poor inspections. The most recent inspection was in November 2025.
Good Samaritan Society Miller runs 50 beds in Hand County, and the numbers here deserve a close look before you decide. Nurse staffing sits just under the national average, but weekends run about 15 percent thinner than weekdays, and annual turnover of 70.8 percent means most of the people caring for residents are relatively new, against a national rate nearer 46 percent. The inspection record shows 22 deficiencies, four of them at harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, with $96,127 in fines across two penalties. A recent February 2026 inspection and a 1-out-of-5 quality measure score round out a picture worth asking hard questions about.
Nurse staffing at Chattanooga Health And Rehab Center runs about 3.22 hours per resident day, roughly 17% under the national average, and weekends dip another 16% below its own weekday levels, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Staff turnover sits at 77.6%, well above the 45.8% national figure, which matters because aides who know residents are the ones who notice changes first. Inspectors cited 22 deficiencies on the current record, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, with one fine of $6,509 and a most recent inspection in August 2025. The limited liability, for-profit owner carries the license.
Buena Vida Nursing and Rehab in San Antonio runs 222 certified beds under hospital district ownership, and federal data shows it struggling on every measure CMS tracks. Nurse staffing sits at 2.93 hours per resident day, roughly a quarter below the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 9% below its own weekday level, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. The inspection record is the bigger concern: 49 deficiencies, five serious enough to put residents in harm's way, three tied to abuse, and $187,608 in fines. That combination landed it in CMS's Special Focus Facility program, a designation reserved for the country's most persistently troubled homes.

Glenwood Health Center By Harborview runs 225 certified beds in Decatur under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing numbers are the first thing to know: 2.75 nurse hours per resident per day against a national average of 3.86, roughly 29% below. That gap widens on weekends, when coverage drops about 11% below the home's own weekday level, and 62.6% annual turnover means the people providing that care are constantly changing. The inspection record includes 40 deficiencies, four at harm or jeopardy level and five related to abuse, plus two fines totaling $13,043. Its most recent inspection was January 3, 2026. All three CMS star ratings, health inspections, quality measures, and staffing, sit at 1 out of 5.
Allure of Knox County reports 4.19 total nurse staffing hours per resident day, which is genuinely above the national average of 3.86, that's the one number here that looks decent. Everything else points the other way. Staff turnover runs 73.9% against a national average of 45.8%, meaning most of the people caring for residents this year likely won't be there next year, and weekend coverage dips below its own weekday level. The inspection record carries 41 deficiencies, six of them at harm or jeopardy level and six abuse-related, with $88,229 in fines and a December 2024 inspection. For-profit, limited liability ownership. Ask about turnover and the abuse findings directly before deciding.
Arcadia Care Auburn runs on thinner staffing than most homes its size, 2.77 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 12% below what it manages during the week. Annual turnover sits at 54.3%, well above the 45.8% national figure, so the people providing that care are cycling through faster than usual. The inspection record backs up the concern: 33 deficiencies, eight of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, two tied to abuse, and four fines totaling $273,034. Its most recent inspection was in February 2025. A 1-out-of-5 staffing rating and a 1-out-of-5 quality measure rating, in a for-profit corporate home, tell you where the trouble concentrates.
Sullivan Healthcare & Senior Living runs on nurse staffing that's roughly 30% below the national average, 2.70 hours per resident day against 3.86, and weekends drop about 10% below its own weekday level, which is when families tend to visit and notice. Staff turnover sits at 53.4% against a national 45.8%, so the people providing that thinner care are also leaving at a faster clip. The inspection record is where it gets harder to look past: 48 deficiencies, three at the harm or jeopardy level, seven tied to abuse, and one fine of $93,289, with the most recent inspection in August 2025 giving all three CMS ratings, health inspections, quality measures, and staffing, just one star out of five.
The Citadel at Saint Anne Place carries 43 deficiencies on its current record, nine of them serious enough to cause harm or put residents in jeopardy, and $144,440 in federal fines across five citations. That's a heavy enforcement history for a 179-bed nonprofit home, and it's recent, state inspectors were last on site in June 2025. Staffing sits at 3.42 nurse hours per resident day, about 11% under the national figure, and weekends drop roughly 14% below the home's own weekday coverage. Annual turnover of 62.2% means most of the people caring for your relative are new, versus 45.8% nationally. Ask the administrator directly how nine harm-level findings were corrected and what weekend coverage looks like now.
Palm Garden of Mattoon carries a one-star rating in all three CMS categories, health inspections, quality measures, and staffing, which tells you the problems run across the board, not just in one area.
