Staff turnover

Ossian Health Care and Rehabilitation Center sits in Wells County with 100 certified beds under individual for-profit ownership. Staffing runs about 3.62 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 6% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 15% below the home's own weekday coverage. That's the main soft spot. Turnover, though, is 34% against a national 45.8%, so the aides and nurses who are there tend to stay. On inspections, six deficiencies appear on the current record with none at harm or jeopardy level and nothing abuse-related, and the most recent inspection closed out in April 2026. Ownership is individual for-profit, meaning one person's name is on the license rather than a chain's.

Christian Care Retirement Community

Staff turnover

Christian Care in Bluffton runs 4.73 nurse hours per resident per day, which is about 22% above the national average of 3.86, that's a real staffing cushion, not a rounding difference. Weekends dip roughly 14% below the home's own weekday coverage, so a Saturday shift won't look like a Tuesday, and staff turnover sits at 38.3%, better than the 45.8% national figure. Five deficiencies on the current record, none tied to harm or abuse, and the last inspection was August 2025. It's a for-profit corporation, so margins matter here, but the numbers above are the ones that decide what your family member's day actually looks like.

Markle Health & Rehabilitation runs on leaner nursing hours than most homes, about 3.30 per resident per day against a national average near 3.86, and weekends get thinner still, roughly 17% below what the building staffs on weekdays. That's worth asking about directly, especially if your family member needs help at predictable times on Saturdays and Sundays. The tradeoff shows up elsewhere: a clean inspection record with just four deficiencies, none involving harm or abuse, and a survey as recent as June 2025. Staff turnover sits at 40%, better than the 45.8% national figure, which suggests people stay. Quality measures and inspections both rate at the top of CMS's scale; staffing lands in the middle.

River Terrace Health Care Center

River Terrace is county-owned, which usually means steadier oversight than you'd get from a for-profit chain, and the inspection record backs that up: a five-star health inspection rating, just four deficiencies on the books, none causing harm and none tied to abuse, with the most recent visit in December 2025. The trouble sits in the day-to-day staffing. At 3.67 nurse hours per resident, it runs about 5% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 16% below its own weekday coverage, that's when families tend to notice slower call bells. Turnover near 62%, well above the 45.8% national figure, means the people caring for your relative keep changing.
