Serious cites

Yukon Kuskokwim Elder's Home runs 18 certified beds in Bethel under nonprofit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 9.10 hours per resident day, roughly 136% above the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips only about 5% below its own weekday level, which matters in a home this small, where one absence reshapes a shift. The inspection record shows 20 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with a single fine of $10,117 and the most recent inspection dated March 6, 2026. Staffing and quality measures each earned 4 out of 5 stars from CMS, while health inspections came in at 3.

Sante Of Chandler runs about 4.84 nursing hours per resident each day, roughly a quarter more than the national average of 3.86, a real cushion, though weekends dip about 14% below its own weekday staffing, so coverage isn't perfectly even across the week. Its record shows 7 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the last inspection dated February 19, 2026, so the picture is recent rather than stale. Quality measures score at the top of CMS's scale, and the corporation that owns it operates for profit.

Arizona State Veteran Home-Tucson runs 120 certified beds and puts 5.05 nursing hours behind each resident every day, roughly 31% more than the national average of 3.86. That staffing cushion is the main reason its record holds up, though weekends drop about 8% below its own weekday levels, so coverage isn't perfectly even across the week. The inspection history is mixed: 16 deficiencies on the current record, none at harm or jeopardy level, but two tied to abuse, and the last full inspection was January 2024. State-run ownership means public accountability, and the quality measure score sits at 4 of 5 stars. Worth asking about those two abuse findings directly.

Brookdale Skyline runs 4.55 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 18% above the national average, and that staffing shows up in the five-star rating. Weekends drop about 20% from weekday levels, so ask how coverage holds up on a Sunday. Staff turnover sits at 53%, higher than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for whether you see the same faces. The inspection record is mixed: 17 deficiencies, two at harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, plus a $9,110 fine. The most recent inspection was April 2025. Strong daily staffing, thinner weekends, and a citation history worth asking about directly.

Bay Village Of Sarasota runs on a nonprofit model with 95 certified beds, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.98 hours per resident day, roughly 29% above the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip only about 3% below weekday levels, so coverage stays fairly consistent. The tradeoff shows up in its inspection record: 11 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, but one tied to abuse, with the most recent inspection dated April 2024. Resident outcomes look solid, with a 4-out-of-5 quality measure rating and 4 out of 5 on staffing, while health inspections land at 3. The picture is a well-staffed home with a clean harm record but a blemish worth asking about directly.

Colquitt Regional Senior Care runs on a hospital district's payroll, and the numbers show a stable crew: 28.8% turnover against a national average of 45.8%, with 4.05 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 5% above what the typical home provides. Weekend coverage dips about 16% below its own weekday level, so ask how that plays out on a Saturday. Thirteen deficiencies sit on the current record, none at the harm level, though one is abuse-related, worth a direct question. The last inspection was January 8, 2026. Staffing holds up well here; the quality measure side is more middling.

Lamoni Specialty Care runs 3.63 nurse hours per resident day, about 6% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip roughly 15% below its own weekday coverage, so the daily help is thinner than average, especially Saturday and Sunday. That said, staff retention is strong: turnover sits at 32.3% against a national 45.8%, meaning the people caring for residents tend to stay. Inspections back that up, with a 5/5 health inspection rating, a 5/5 quality measure rating, and only 5 deficiencies on record, none at harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related. The most recent inspection was February 19, 2026. This nonprofit's record is clean, but watch weekend staffing.

Zearing Health Care runs 40 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.68 hours per resident day, roughly 5% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about another 10% below the home's own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts are the ones families tend to visit. The inspection record shows 8 deficiencies with none at harm or jeopardy level, though 3 are abuse-related, which is worth asking about directly. Quality measures score well, and the last inspection was recent. Small Iowa home, mostly solid numbers, with weekend coverage and those abuse citations as the real questions.

Evans Senior Living Community

Evans Senior Living Community runs 43 beds in Cresco under nonprofit ownership, and its inspection record is the strongest thing about it: one deficiency on file, nothing at the harm level, and a survey completed in August 2025. The staffing picture is more mixed. At 3.66 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 5% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 16% below its own weekday coverage, the stretch when families often notice less attention. What offsets that is retention: 28.9% turnover against a 45.8% national rate means the people caring for your relative are more likely to still be there next year. Low deficiencies, stable staff, slightly thin weekend hours.

The Vinton Lutheran Home runs a strong floor: 4.12 nurse staffing hours per resident day, roughly 7% above the national average, with turnover at 40% against a national 45.8%. Those are the numbers behind the top staffing rating. The problem sits in the inspection record. Thirteen deficiencies on file, two of them at harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, earned a 1 out of 5 inspection rating, and the most recent survey closed April 30, 2026. Weekend staffing also drops about 17% below its weekday level, so coverage thins exactly when families visit and issues tend to surface. Good people, thin margins on compliance. Ask about the plan to fix it.

Serious cites

Ossian Care Center runs on 4.63 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a fifth more staffing than the national average, and turnover sits below the national rate. That combination is doing most of the work in its grade. The catch is weekends, when coverage drops about 18% from weekday levels, and a health inspection record carrying 19 deficiencies, three tied to abuse, though none reached harm or jeopardy. Inspectors were last in on January 22, 2026, and the 2/5 inspection rating is the weakest part of the file. The nursing care is there; the compliance history is the question mark.

Medicalodges Goddard runs 60 beds in Sedgwick County under for-profit, limited-liability ownership, and its current record shows 33 deficiencies, one of them serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy, plus one abuse-related finding. Inspectors were last in on January 15, 2026, so that record is recent, not stale. Nurse staffing sits at 3.77 hours per resident day, a bit under the national average of 3.86, and weekends run roughly 18% thinner than weekdays, which matters if your visits fall on a Saturday or Sunday. Annual turnover of 46.8% edges just past the 45.8% national figure, meaning close to half the nursing staff turns over in a year. The five-star quality measure score reflects reported clinical outcomes; the two-star inspection score reflects what surveyors actually found.

Claridge Court sits in Prairie Village with 45 certified beds and nonprofit ownership, and its nurse staffing runs about 20% above the national average, 4.63 hours per resident day against 3.86. Weekend coverage drops roughly 16% below its own weekday level, so ask how that gap gets handled on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover is 43.6%, a touch under the national 45.8%. The inspection history is the mixed part: 17 deficiencies on record, one of them at the harm or jeopardy level, plus a single fine of $18,028. The most recent inspection was January 14, 2026, so that picture is current, not stale.

Staff turnover
21%
Serious cites
0

Prairie Sunset Home runs on more nursing hours than most places, 5.09 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and its staff tends to stay, with turnover at 20.8% versus 45.8% nationally. That combination shows up in the five-star staffing rating. Weekends get thinner, roughly a fifth below weekday coverage, which is worth asking about if your family member needs more help on Saturdays and Sundays. The inspection record isn't spotless: 18 deficiencies, one serious enough to involve harm, though nothing abuse-related, and the most recent state visit was in March 2025. Quality measures sit middle of the road. As a nonprofit with 43 beds, it's small enough that you can press administrators on specifics.

Willowbrook Healthcare runs 71 certified beds in Carlisle under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers that stand out here are on the staffing side. At 5.93 total nurse hours per resident day, it's running well above the national average of 3.86, roughly 54% more nursing time per resident than the typical home. That margin holds up reasonably well on weekends too, dipping only about 8% below its own weekday level rather than falling off a cliff. What's on the record otherwise is quiet: zero deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, and no abuse-related citations. Its most recent inspection was in May 2025, so the picture is current rather than stale. For a family weighing a placement, the absence of problems plus unusually heavy staffing is the story.

Deer's Head Center is a state-run home in Salisbury with 80 certified beds, and its staffing is the headline: 9.55 nurse hours per resident day, roughly two and a half times the national average. Turnover sits at 30.6% against a national 45.8%, so the people caring for residents tend to stick around, though weekend coverage drops about 21% below weekday levels, which is worth asking about. The trouble is the inspection record: 19 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse, plus a $41,265 fine. Staffing is strong; oversight has been the problem, and the most recent inspection was in December 2025.

Liberty Commons runs on 4.68 nurse hours per resident day, about 21% above the national average, and that staffing level is the main reason it lands where it does. The catch is weekends, when coverage drops roughly 17% below its own weekday pace. Turnover sits at 40.7%, slightly better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for whether care stays consistent. Inspections are the weak spot: a 2/5 health inspection rating, 16 deficiencies on record, one tied to abuse, though none reached harm or jeopardy level. The most recent inspection was January 9, 2026, so the picture is current. For-profit corporate ownership, 132 beds.

The Meadows runs 5.42 nursing hours per resident day, roughly 40% more than the national average of 3.86, and that holds up on weekends, which dip only about 8% from weekday coverage. That's the rare version of weekend staffing that doesn't fall off a cliff. The current inspection record is clean: zero deficiencies, including nothing at the harm level and nothing abuse-related, with the most recent survey dated August 2025. As a nonprofit corporation with 60 beds, it's small enough that administrators likely know the residents by name. The one soft spot in the federal ratings is quality measures at 4 out of 5, but staffing and inspections both sit at the top of that scale.

Wellspring Lutheran Services runs 39 beds in Fairview under corporate ownership, and the numbers here are mostly steady. Nurse staffing sits at 4.03 hours per resident day, roughly 4% above the national average, though weekend coverage drops about 15% below what the home staffs on weekdays, so care on Saturdays and Sundays looks thinner than the weekday picture suggests. Turnover is 38.1%, better than the 45.8% national rate, which matters for whether residents see familiar faces. The current record shows 7 deficiencies, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and none related to abuse. Inspectors were last on site in August 2025, and the home earned 4 of 5 stars in each CMS category, health inspections, quality measures, and staffing.

Eastwood Nursing Center in Negaunee runs a tight ship on inspections, a five-star health inspection rating, a clean record on harm and abuse deficiencies, and a survey from April 2025 that's still recent. The 16 total deficiencies on file are mostly the routine kind that don't put residents in danger. Nurse staffing sits at 3.99 hours per resident day, slightly above the national average, though weekends drop about 16% below weekdays, so coverage thins out on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover at 48.2% runs a bit higher than the 45.8% national figure, meaning you'll likely see new faces on the aide staff fairly often.
