Willows Health Center

Rockford, IL · Winnebago County

CMS 3/5 50 beds Non-profit Medicaid
Nurse hours

Staff turnover
—
Serious cites
0

The Willows Health Center runs 50 certified beds in Rockford under nonprofit ownership, and its staffing sits well above average, 5.21 total nurse hours per resident day, roughly 35% more than the national figure. That's the strongest card in its hand, though weekend coverage drops about 17% below its own weekday level, so the weekday-to-weekend difference is worth asking about. The trade-off shows up in its record: 26 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy, plus three tied to abuse, and one fine of $12,909. With the last inspection dated November 2025 and quality and staffing each rated 4 out of 5, you're looking at a home that invests in staff but has real compliance problems to weigh.

Radford Green

Lincolnshire, IL · Lake County

Nurse hours

Staff turnover

Serious cites

Radford Green runs on 5.41 nursing hours per resident per day, roughly 40% above the national average, and weekend staffing holds within about 6% of weekday levels, rare for a for-profit home. Annual turnover sits at 35.7%, well under the national 45.8%, so the people around your parent are more likely to stay. The caution is on the record: 25 deficiencies, 6 serious enough to risk harm, one tied to abuse, and $68,794 in fines, with the last inspection in February 2025. Strong staffing and quality measures, a thinner inspection history. Worth asking the administrator directly what changed since.

Staff turnover

Serious cites

Alden Estates Of Shorewood runs about 4.89 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 27% above the national average. That staffing cushion is real, though weekends dip about 13% below the home's own weekday level, so coverage isn't perfectly even across the week. Turnover sits at 38.3%, meaningfully better than the 45.8% national figure. The inspection record shows 15 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, and the most recent inspection was January 2026. This is a for-profit corporate home whose numbers hold up on staffing and inspections, with quality measures landing closer to the middle.

0

Miller's Merry Manor in Logansport runs 127 beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.88 nurse hours per resident day, about 1% above the national average, which is close enough that weekends are where the difference shows. Weekend staffing drops roughly 12% below its own weekday level, and annual turnover is 47.7%, slightly worse than the 45.8% national figure. The inspection record is recent (April 2026) and fairly clean: 10 deficiencies total, none at the harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related. All three CMS star ratings land at 4 out of 5, so the weak spots are turnover and weekend coverage rather than the care measures themselves.

Avon Health & Rehabilitation Center runs 137 certified beds as a for-profit corporation, and its staffing sits at 3.50 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 9% under the national average of 3.86, with weekends about 14% thinner than weekdays. Turnover is 36.8%, which is actually better than the 45.8% national figure, so the people who stay tend to stay. The current record shows 15 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the last inspection dated February 26, 2026. Quality measures score well and inspections score well; the softer spot is staffing, especially on weekends when your family member is most likely to visit.

Colonial Oaks runs a tight ship on the things inspectors check. A five-star health inspection rating with only four deficiencies on record, none at the harm level, none related to abuse, and a clean inspection from July 2024 puts it well ahead of most homes on regulatory compliance. Where it gives ground is staffing: 3.40 nurse hours per resident day sits about 12% under the national average, and weekends run roughly 14% lighter than weekdays. The saving grace is retention. Turnover of 26.6% is well below the national 45.8%, which means the aides and nurses who are there tend to stay, and that consistency matters more than raw hours in a lot of families' day-to-day experience.

Morristown Manor

Morristown, IN · Shelby County

Nurse hours

Morristown Manor runs on a county-owned model with 119 certified beds along the western edge of Shelby County. Its overall nurse staffing sits at 3.59 hours per resident day, about 7% under the national figure, and weekends drop roughly 12% below what the home staffs during the week, worth asking about if your family tends to visit Saturdays and Sundays. Turnover is the bright spot, at 33% against a national average near 46%, and that stability shows up in the quality measure rating. The current inspection record carries 31 deficiencies, two at the harm level and seven flagged as abuse-related, which isn't a small number. The last state visit was in May 2025, so the picture is reasonably current.

Golden Years Homestead runs on a nonprofit model with 111 certified beds, and its staffing sits at 4.09 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 6% above the national average of 3.86. That's a real cushion, though weekends run about 10% thinner than weekdays, so coverage isn't perfectly even across the week. What stands out most is retention: 12.6% annual turnover against a national average near 46%, meaning the people caring for residents here tend to stay. The inspection record is more mixed, 21 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and three tied to abuse, plus a $15,646 fine. The most recent inspection was in August 2025. Good staffing consistency, but the deficiency history is worth asking about directly.

Evansville Protestant Home

Nurse hours

Staff turnover
46%

Evansville Protestant Home runs on a nonprofit model with 49 certified beds, and its strongest number is staffing: 5.35 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 39% above the national average. That cushion matters, though weekends dip about 8% below the home's own weekday levels. Turnover sits at 46%, almost identical to the national 45.8%, so continuity of caregivers isn't a distinguishing strength. Where the record gets harder to read is inspections and care quality, both rated 2 out of 5, with 19 deficiencies on file and one at the harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related. The most recent inspection was April 2025, so the picture is current. Strong hands-on staffing, middling oversight results.

The Indiana Veterans Home in West Lafayette runs on a state government operation with 212 certified beds, and the nurse staffing numbers are genuinely strong, 5.61 hours per resident day puts it roughly 45% above the national average of 3.86. That's real coverage on paper, though weekends dip about 15% below its own weekday levels, and annual turnover sits at 64.2% against a national 45.8%, so the floor is covered but the faces change often. The inspection record carries 19 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse, with a 3/5 health inspection rating and the most recent survey dated December 2025.

Mount Ayr Health Care Center runs 46 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.68 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 5% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 11% below the home's own weekday coverage, so families should ask how that gap gets covered. Turnover is the brighter spot: 37% against a national 45.8%, which suggests a relatively stable crew for a small Iowa home. The inspection record shows 11 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent survey dated April 2026.

Mechanicsville Specialty Care runs on a nonprofit model with 39 beds, and the numbers show a place that inspection-wise is doing a lot right. Its last survey was in September 2025, and of the 12 deficiencies on record, none rose to harm or jeopardy level and none involved abuse. Nurse staffing sits at 3.07 hours per resident day, roughly 20 percent under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 3 percent below weekdays, so coverage is thinner than you'd like. Turnover, though, is 38.2 percent against a national 45.8, which suggests people tend to stay. Quality measures scored at the top of the scale.

Atlantic Specialty Care runs on 2.96 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly a quarter below the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 12% below its own weekday staffing. That thinner coverage shows up in its two-out-of-five inspection rating and 42 deficiencies on record, though none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection dated April 2026. What works in its favor: staff turnover is 28.3%, well under the 45.8% national figure, suggesting a steadier workforce than many homes, and its quality measure rating sits at five out of five. As a nonprofit, it isn't answering to shareholders. The tradeoff here is real but bounded, fewer hands on weekends, strong clinical measures, no serious safety findings.

Bedford Specialty Care runs 39 certified beds as a nonprofit, and its recent inspection history is solid, the last survey wrapped in July 2025 with a 4-star health inspection rating. The 14 deficiencies on record include none at the harm or jeopardy level, though three are abuse-related, which families should ask about directly. Staff turnover sits at 27.6% against a national average of 45.8%, meaning caregivers here tend to stay. Total nurse staffing is 3.72 hours per resident day, slightly under the 3.86 national figure, and weekends run about 5% thinner than weekdays, so coverage dips when it's hardest to reach administrators.

Montezuma Specialty Care runs 41 certified beds as a nonprofit corporation, and its 3.30 nurse staffing hours per resident day sit about 14 percent under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip roughly 7 percent below the home's own weekday levels, and annual turnover lands at 51.6 percent against a national 45.8, so the people caring for residents here are both fewer in number and changing more often than is typical. The current record shows 13 deficiencies, two tied to abuse, though none rose to harm or jeopardy. Its last inspection was April 23, 2026. Quality and staffing measures each earned four stars from CMS, with inspection at three.

Chariton Specialty Care runs 60 certified beds as a for-profit corporation, and its staffing sits just under the national average at 3.81 nurse hours per resident day. The bigger concern is who's on the floor: annual turnover hits 58.1%, well above the 45.8% national rate, and weekends run about 13% leaner than weekdays, exactly when families often visit. Inspections tell a similar story, 18 deficiencies on record, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse. A single fine of $15,134 has been levied. The most recent inspection was January 14, 2026. Quality measures score well, but the direct-care and oversight picture is what a family should weigh.

Oakwood Specialty Care runs a 54-bed nonprofit home in Albia, and the staffing numbers are the main thing to weigh. Nurses give residents about 3.26 hours of care per day, roughly 15% under the national average, and weekends dip another 13% below what the home itself manages on weekdays. Turnover sits at 31.7%, which is better than the 45.8% national figure. Eighteen deficiencies show on the current record, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the last inspection in September 2025. Quality measures score well; the day-to-day staffing is where this home is thinner than most.

Green Hills runs on a strong direct-care workforce: 4.53 nurse hours per resident day is about 17 percent more than the national average, and that shows up in a five-star staffing rating. The catch is consistency, weekend coverage drops roughly 13 percent below weekday levels, and turnover sits at 47.1 percent, slightly worse than the national average, so the faces around your family member may change often. Seven deficiencies on record, none involving harm, jeopardy, or abuse, and a January 2026 inspection is recent enough to trust. Quality measures are the weak spot at two stars, which is worth asking about directly even though the care hours look good on paper.

Akron Care Center is city-owned, which is unusual, most Iowa nursing homes are for-profit. Inspectors have found four deficiencies on its current record, none of them causing harm or involving abuse, and the most recent visit was in May 2025. Nurse staffing sits at 3.80 hours per resident day, a hair under the national average of 3.86, and weekends run about 11% thinner than weekdays, which is worth asking about if your family member needs more help on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover is 40.4%, better than the 45.8% national figure but still meaning roughly two in five caregivers left within a year. Quality measure scores lag behind its inspection and staffing results.

Brio Of Johnston runs a for-profit limited liability operation with 36 certified beds in Polk County, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.57 hours per resident day, roughly 18% above the national average. That margin narrows on weekends, when coverage drops about 10% below the home's own weekday pace. Staff turnover lands at 55.1%, nearly ten points above the national figure, which means the people delivering that care are cycling through faster than average. Twelve deficiencies sit on the current record, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, with a single fine of $6,923 and an inspection dated April 2026. The staffing and quality measure ratings hold at 4 stars each; inspection results sit lower at 3.
