Ridgewood Terrace Health And Rehabilitation Center

Nurse hours
4.36 /day
Staff turnover
51%

0

Ridgewood Terrace runs a 110-bed for-profit operation in Madisonville, and the numbers tell a mixed story. Nurse staffing sits at 4.36 hours per resident day, roughly 13% above the national average, though weekends run about 14% thinner than weekdays, worth asking about if your family tends to visit Saturday or Sunday. The inspection record is the strong point: a recent May 2025 survey, 14 deficiencies on file but none at harm or jeopardy level and nothing abuse-related. Staff turnover at 50.7% is higher than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for continuity of care. Quality measure scores come in low even as the staffing and inspection ratings hold up, that gap is the real question to press the administrator on.

Clinton Place runs 91 certified beds in Hickman County under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 2.93 hours per resident day, roughly a quarter below the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 17% below the home's own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. On the positive side, turnover is 34.7%, better than the 45.8% national figure, which suggests some stability in the workforce. The current record shows 14 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, plus one fine of $8,512. The last inspection was August 2025, so that picture is recent.

Rockcastle Health & Rehabilitation Center runs 104 certified beds under corporate ownership, and the staffing numbers are the first thing worth noticing. At 3.56 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 8% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 17% below its own weekday coverage, so care thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Annual turnover of 48.5% runs slightly above the national figure, which usually means less continuity for residents who need consistent hands. The inspection record shows 20 deficiencies, including two at the harm level and one abuse-related, plus a $15,646 fine; its last inspection was August 2025.

Signature Healthcare of Spencer County runs 120 certified beds as a for-profit LLC, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.83 hours per resident day, just under the national average of 3.86. The bigger issue is consistency: weekend staffing drops roughly 18% below its own weekday level, and annual turnover hits 55.8% against a national average of 45.8%. The current record shows 17 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, but two tied to abuse. Inspectors were last in on January 23, 2026, and the health inspection rating came back 2 out of 5, even as quality measures scored 4. Families weighing this one should ask specifically who covers weekends and how abuse-related findings were resolved.

The Heritage Nursing And Rehabilitation Facility

Staff turnover

The Heritage runs 85 beds in Corbin under corporate, for-profit ownership, and its last inspection came in April 2025, recent enough that the record reflects current conditions. Eight deficiencies are on file, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, which matters more than the raw count. Where the numbers get less comfortable is staffing: 3.87 nurse hours per resident day sits almost exactly on the national average, but the 2-star staffing rating and 48.4% turnover, above the 45.8% national figure, suggest the people providing care are cycling through. Weekend staffing drops about 17% below weekdays. The quality measure score is strong; the question is whether that holds when weekends thin out.

Somerwoods runs a 166-bed for-profit home in Somerset, and the staffing is genuinely better than most: 4.10 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with turnover at 39.4% versus 45.8% nationally. Weekend coverage dips about 12% below its own weekday level, which is worth asking about directly. The trouble sits elsewhere. Twelve deficiencies are on the current record, two tied to abuse, and the last inspection was February 2025. CMS gives it 2 of 5 stars on health inspections and just 1 of 5 on quality measures. Strong hands-on staffing is carrying a record that inspection and quality scores say is uneven.

Life Care Center of Morehead runs a 97-bed for-profit home in Rowan County, and the numbers point in two directions at once. Nurse staffing sits at 3.48 hours per resident day, about 10 percent under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 13 percent below its own weekday coverage, so the hours get thinnest exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover, at 38.7 percent, actually beats the national 45.8 percent, and 13 deficiencies with one at harm level and a $15,334 fine suggest care problems that staffing math alone doesn't explain. The last inspection was March 2026, so the record is current.

Madonna Manor

Nurse hours

Staff turnover

Serious cites

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.

Fair Oaks Health And Rehabilitation

Jamestown, KY · Russell County

Staff turnover

Fair Oaks runs lean on nursing hours, 3.06 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 8% below its own weekday levels, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Turnover is the brighter spot: 39.1% against a national 45.8%, meaning the aides and nurses you meet are somewhat more likely to still be there next year. The inspection record is clean where it counts, four deficiencies with none involving harm or abuse, and the most recent survey was April 2025. The tradeoff is straightforward: good survey results and steady-ish staff, but you should ask how many nurses are actually on the floor on a Saturday.

Creekwood runs lean on nursing hours, 3.20 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, roughly 17% below. Weekends dip about 9% below the home's own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. The tradeoff shows up in retention: 38.2% turnover beats the 45.8% national figure, meaning fewer unfamiliar faces than at a typical for-profit corporate home. Inspections look clean on paper, five deficiencies, none involving harm or abuse, with a survey completed in late February 2026. Quality measures hold at 4 out of 5 stars, but staffing sits at 2. The consistent thread is a place that keeps its people and avoids serious problems while running on fewer hands than average.

Klondike runs 3.25 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 16% under the national average, and weekends drop another 11% below its own weekday levels, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Turnover at 35.8% is better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for continuity. The record shows 20 deficiencies, five at harm or jeopardy level, one abuse-related, plus two fines totaling $33,062. The quality measure score of 5/5 reflects charted outcomes, while staffing sits at 2/5. That split is the tension here: the clinical measures look strong, but the hands-on coverage and inspection history tell a more cautious story.

Cambridge Nursing & Rehabilitation Center runs 108 certified beds in Lexington under for-profit LLC ownership. The staffing picture is thin: 3.64 total nurse hours per resident per day, about 6% under the national average, with weekends dropping roughly 14% below the home's own weekday coverage. Turnover sits near 49%, a few points above the national figure. The federal staffing rating lands at 1 out of 5. What offsets that is the care record. Ten deficiencies on file, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, and the most recent inspection was February 19, 2026, recent enough to trust. The quality measure rating is 5 out of 5. So the clinical outcomes look strong even though the daily hours behind them don't. If your family member needs consistent weekday attention, ask how weekends get covered.

Glen Ridge Health Campus runs 70 certified beds in Louisville under for-profit LLC ownership, and its 3.52 nurse staffing hours per resident day sit roughly 9% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 11% below its own weekday coverage, and annual turnover hits 56.5% against a national 45.8%, meaning the aides and nurses who know your family member are likelier than average to leave. The current record carries 16 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse. A recent June 2025 inspection keeps the picture current; quality scores look strong, but staffing and inspection history are where the real questions live.

Green Meadows runs leaner than most: 3.37 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 9% below its own weekday coverage. The trade-off shows in staffing and health inspection ratings of 2 out of 5, with 22 deficiencies on the current record, three tied to abuse, though none reached the harm or jeopardy level. What keeps it from sinking further is turnover at 26.8%, well under the national 45.8%, which suggests the aides who are there tend to stay. Licensed for 122 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, it was last inspected October 25, 2024. Ask about weekend coverage and how those abuse-related findings were resolved.

Home Of The Innocents is a 76-bed nonprofit in Louisville with a recent inspection, September 13, 2025, so the record is current. What that record shows is mixed: ten deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse. Its inspection star rating sits at 2 out of 5, while quality measures come in at 3. Roughly one in five of those deficiencies involves actual harm or abuse concerns, which is the kind of thing worth asking the administrator about directly. The nonprofit structure and fresher inspection help, but the harm-level findings are the part I would not gloss over when you call.

Cal Turner Rehab runs a tight ship on the things that show up in writing: a five-star inspection record, nine total deficiencies with nothing abuse-related, and staff turnover at 34.7%, well under the 45.8% national average, which matters for whether you see the same faces month to month. A nonprofit's balance sheet shows up too, with just one fine on record for $5,519. The softer spots are real, though. Total nurse staffing sits at 3.57 hours per resident day, about 7% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 18% below the home's own weekday levels, so ask what a Saturday actually looks like. The two-star quality measure rating is the other piece worth pressing on.

St Elizabeth Ft Thomas runs a small 20-bed unit as a nonprofit, and its inspection record is genuinely clean, five stars, one deficiency on the books, none involving harm or abuse, and the last survey was in January 2025. The catch is staffing, which scores one star. That's the number to press on when you visit: ask what nurse and aide coverage looks like on nights and weekends, because a single deficiency total means little if there aren't enough hands on shift. Quality measures land mid-range at three stars. With this few beds, staffing can change fast, so ask for current numbers rather than trusting the rating alone.

Signature Healthcare of Bowling Green runs 176 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its inspection record is genuinely solid, a 4-out-of-5 health inspection rating, 13 deficiencies on the current record with none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, and a survey as recent as September 2025. Staffing is where the picture dims. At 3.69 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 5% under the national average, weekends drop roughly 10% below its own weekday level, and annual turnover of 52.2% runs well above the 45.8% national figure. Quality measures score 4 out of 5, so care outcomes look better than the staffing numbers alone would suggest, but thin weekend coverage and high turnover are the things to ask about directly.

Hillcrest runs 4.31 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 12% above the national average, and that staffing shows up in a 4/5 CMS staffing rating. Weekends thin out by about 14% from weekday levels, though, and annual turnover sits at 60% against a national 45.8%, meaning the people covering those hours keep changing. The current record shows 9 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, but 3 tied to abuse, and the quality measure rating is 1/5. The last inspection was August 2025, so it's recent. A 4/5 inspection rating with no harm-level findings is a real strength; the abuse citations and turnover are what pull the overall picture down.

Heritage Hall runs 94 certified beds in Lawrenceburg under individual for-profit ownership, and its numbers tell two different stories. Nurse staffing sits at 3.75 hours per resident day, about 3% under the national average, and weekends dip roughly 12% below what the home staffs on weekdays, so the coverage your family member gets on a Saturday isn't what they'd get on a Tuesday. Annual turnover of 43.8% is slightly better than the 45.8% national figure. What pulls the record down is the inspection side: 20 deficiencies on file, 5 of them at harm or jeopardy level, 4 tied to abuse, plus a single $185,227 fine and a July 2025 inspection. A 1-out-of-5 health inspection star against 4-out-of-5 for staffing.
