Eastern Star Masonic Home runs on 4.13 nurse staffing hours per resident day, about 7% above the national average, and turnover sits at 39.5%, lower than the 45.8% typical elsewhere. Those are real strengths. The trade-offs show up in the inspection record: 19 deficiencies, two of them abuse-related, though none rose to actual harm or jeopardy. Weekend staffing drops roughly 13% below its own weekday level, so care can thin out on Saturdays and Sundays. The last inspection was in April 2025, so the picture is reasonably current. For a 76-bed nonprofit in Boone, this reads as a generally solid home with a specific weekend and abuse-reporting pattern worth asking about directly.

Accura Healthcare of Ogden runs 46 beds under corporate ownership, and its state inspection record sits at two stars, with 22 deficiencies logged. None of those reached the harm or jeopardy level, and none involved abuse, worth knowing, since "22 deficiencies" can sound worse than it is. Staffing is the interesting part: 3.21 nurse hours per resident day is roughly 17% under the national average, and weekends drop about 19% below the home's own weekday levels, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover, though, is 29% against a national 45.8%, meaning the people who are there tend to stay. The last inspection was September 2025.

Madrid Home for the Aged runs 64 certified beds as a nonprofit corporation, and its last inspection came in March 2026, so the record is current. Nurse staffing sits at 3.70 hours per resident day, about 4% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 8% below the home's own weekday level, worth asking about if your family visits or calls on Saturdays and Sundays. Annual turnover of 46.8% edges slightly past the national 45.8%. Fourteen deficiencies appear on the current record, none at the harm or jeopardy level but two tied to abuse, which is the kind of item you'd want explained directly rather than assumed.

Westhaven Community runs 4.10 nurse hours per resident day, about 6% above the national average, which helps explain its decent staffing marks, but weekends drop roughly 11% below its own weekday coverage, so care thins out exactly when families tend to visit. The bigger concern is turnover: 96.1% of staff leave each year, more than double the national rate of 45.8%, meaning the people delivering care are constantly new. Add 13 deficiencies on record, including one at the harm level, and an April 2025 inspection that's already aging, and you've got a home with real strengths sitting alongside real instability. It's nonprofit-owned, so nobody's paying dividends, but that doesn't make the churn any easier on residents.
