Waterford Place runs on a nonprofit model with 103 certified beds, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.99 hours per resident day, slightly above the national average of 3.86. That margin is real but thin, and weekends dip about 11% below weekday coverage, which is worth asking about if your family member needs help on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover comes in at 41.9%, a bit better than the national 45.8%. The inspection record shows 11 deficiencies with nothing at the harm or jeopardy level and no abuse citations, and the most recent inspection was in February 2026. Quality measures score well; staffing is the softer spot.

North Woods Village is county-owned, and its 155 beds are staffed thinner than most: 3.37 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86. Weekends run about 15% below the home's own weekday level, so coverage thins out right when families tend to visit. Turnover of 32.7% is better than the 45.8% national figure, which suggests some stability in who's actually on the floor. The inspection record shows 13 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and two abuse-related, plus a $24,291 fine; the most recent inspection was March 2026. Quality measures score well, but staffing and inspection results are where the gaps sit.

Brickyard Healthcare - Sycamore Village runs 110 certified beds in Kokomo under corporate for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.36 hours per resident day, roughly 13% under the national average of 3.86. That gap widens on weekends, when coverage drops about 15% below the home's own weekday level, so a Saturday shift is thinner than a Tuesday one. Staff turnover is 41.8%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure, which suggests some stability. Inspections turned up 28 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level but two tied to abuse; the most recent visit was January 2026. Quality measures score well; staffing and inspections are middling.

Kokomo Healthcare Center runs 80 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its staffing numbers are the main thing to know. At 3.51 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 9% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip roughly 14% below its own weekday coverage, a pattern worth asking about if your family member needs help on Saturdays and Sundays. Turnover at 43.1% is slightly better than the 45.8% national figure, so aides aren't cycling through quite as fast as elsewhere. The health inspection record shows 14 deficiencies, none at harm level but two tied to abuse, with the most recent inspection in September 2025. Resident outcome measures look strong; the staffing side is where the gaps sit.

Wellbrooke of Kokomo is a for-profit, limited-liability operation with 70 certified beds, and its strongest showing is in care quality measures, where it scores at the top of CMS's five-star scale. Inspections are a bright spot too: a 4/5 rating and a recent survey date of February 2026, with 18 deficiencies on record, one of them serious enough to involve actual harm, though none tied to abuse. Where it slips is staffing. At 3.54 nurse hours per resident day, it runs roughly 8% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 15% below its own weekday coverage. Turnover sits at 49.3%, a few points above the national 45.8%. One fine totaling $8,824 is on the books.

Aperion Care Kokomo runs 105 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing numbers are the clearest trouble spot: 3.34 nurse hours per resident per day sits about 14% under the national average, weekends drop roughly 12% below its own weekday coverage, and 57.7% of staff turn over each year against a 45.8% national rate. That thin, churning workforce is hard to separate from the inspection record, 32 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, with one $15,593 fine. The last inspection was recent, August 2025. Quality measures score mid-range, but low staffing and a long deficiency history are what a family should weigh here.
