St Elizabeth Edgewood Snf

Edgewood, KY · Kenton County

CMS 5/530 bedsNon-profit
Nurse hours
6.52 /day
Staff turnover
33%
Serious cites
0

St Elizabeth Edgewood runs a small 30-bed home in Kenton County, and the staffing numbers are the story here. At 6.52 nurse hours per resident day, it's giving residents roughly 69% more nursing time than the national average of 3.86, a gap that matters more than most families realize. Turnover sits at 32.7%, well below the national 45.8%, so the people providing that care tend to stick around. Weekend coverage does dip about 18% below its own weekday level, which is worth asking about directly. The record shows 4 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the last inspection in February 2026.

Emerald Trace

Elsmere, KY · Kenton County

CMS 2/554 bedsNon-profitMedicaid
Nurse hours
6.34 /day
Staff turnover
53%
Serious cites
0

Emerald Trace runs on unusually heavy staffing for a 54-bed nonprofit home, 6.34 nurse hours per resident day, roughly two and a half hours more than the national average. That's the strongest thing in its file, and it shows up in a 4-out-of-5 staffing rating. The catch is consistency and oversight: weekend coverage slips about 8% below weekdays, turnover sits at 52.5%, and the last inspection (August 2025) left eight deficiencies, two serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, plus a $9,318 fine. Good hands-on coverage, uneven follow-through on the compliance side.

Village Care Center

Erlanger, KY · Kenton County

Nurse hours

Staff turnover
61%

0

Village Care Center runs on more nursing hours than most homes, 4.40 per resident per day against a national average of 3.86, and that shows up in its staffing rating. The catch is turnover: 60.5% of staff left over the year, well above the 45.8% national figure, and weekend coverage drops about 12% below its own weekday level. Its inspection record is recent and clean at the serious end, 18 deficiencies, none causing harm or jeopardy, though three are abuse-related, which families should ask about directly. This for-profit corporate home earns solid marks across all three CMS categories, but the workforce churn is the number worth watching.

Villaspring Of Erlanger

Erlanger, KY · Kenton County

CMS 3/5140 bedsFor-profitMedicaid
Nurse hours
3.82 /day
Staff turnover
45%
Serious cites
0

Villaspring Of Erlanger runs 140 certified beds as a for-profit corporation, and its staffing sits just under the national average, 3.82 nurse hours per resident day against 3.86 nationally. That's close enough to be a wash on paper, but weekend staffing drops about 8% below its own weekday level, so the coverage you'd see on a Tuesday isn't what a Saturday looks like. The 44.6% turnover rate is actually slightly better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters more than the small staffing gap. Where this home stands out is its record: 12 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related, with the last inspection in September 2025. Its quality measure rating is strong while its inspection and staffing ratings are middling, the pattern of a place that documents good clinical outcomes but runs lean.

Madonna Manor

Villa Hills, KY · Kenton County

CMS 1/560 bedsNon-profitMedicaid
Nurse hours
6.85 /day
Staff turnover
63%
Serious cites
0

Madonna Manor has the staffing hours most families are told to look for, 6.85 per resident day, well above the national average, and the church-affiliated nonprofit ownership that often signals stability. The inspection record tells a different story. Twenty-one deficiencies on file, six of them serious enough to put residents at risk of harm, two tied to abuse, and $181,278 in fines across two penalties. Staff turnover sits at 63.3% against a national 45.8%, so the generous hours are delivered by a workforce that keeps changing. Weekend coverage also drops below weekday levels. The last inspection was recent, December 2025, meaning the problems are current rather than past.

Woodcrest Nursing And Rehabilitation Center

Elsmere, KY · Kenton County

CMS 4/5127 bedsFor-profitMedicaid
Nurse hours
3.50 /day
Staff turnover
46%
Serious cites
0

Woodcrest runs 127 certified beds under corporate ownership, and its staffing sits about 9% under the national average at 3.50 nurse hours per resident day. Weekends dip roughly another 8% below the home's own weekday coverage, which matters if your family visits or calls on Saturdays and Sundays. Turnover lands at 45.6%, essentially matching the national rate, so this isn't a retention crisis, just thin coverage. The inspection record is the bright spot: three deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related, and the most recent survey was in May 2025, so the findings are current. The tradeoff is straightforward, a clean recent inspection and steady turnover against below-average daily staffing.

Rosedale Green

Nurse hours

Staff turnover

Rosedale Green runs 176 certified beds as a nonprofit, and its staffing sits at 3.52 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 9% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop about 12% below its own weekday coverage, so the gaps aren't just relative to other homes; they're relative to itself. Turnover lands at 43.5%, slightly better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters because consistent caregivers know residents. The current record shows 10 deficiencies, 2 serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the last inspection in April 2025. The quality measure rating sits at 1 out of 5, the lowest tier, while staffing is 2 and inspections 3.

The Pavilion At Kenton

Covington, KY · Kenton County

CMS 1/582 bedsFor-profitMedicaid
Nurse hours
2.85 /day
Staff turnover
76%
Serious cites
0

The Pavilion At Kenton runs on 2.85 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly a quarter below the national average, and weekends drop another 9 percent below what it manages on weekdays. Staff turnover sits at 76.1 percent, well above the 45.8 percent national figure, that's more than three-quarters of the nursing staff leaving in a year, which matters for whether residents see familiar faces. The current record carries 24 deficiencies, none flagged at the harm level and none abuse-related, and the last inspection was in March 2026. This is a for-profit limited liability company operating 82 certified beds, and the low inspection and staffing ratings reflect a building that's been cited often and runs lean.
