All 4 Medicare-certified nursing homes in Chillicothe,
side by side on the things that separate them: how many nursing hours each resident gets, how much of the
staff leaves each year, and what inspectors found on their last visit.
Stonebridge Chillicothe runs about 3.52 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 9% under the national average, and weekend coverage drops another 17% below its own weekday level, that gap is where problems tend to surface. The inspection history is genuinely strong on paper, a five-star health inspection rating with the most recent survey in January 2025, but seven deficiencies sit on the current record, including one at the harm level and one tied to abuse. Staff turnover at 40% is better than the 45.8% national figure, though it still means a lot of new faces. Corporate for-profit ownership, 75 beds, and thin weekend staffing are the context behind a middling grade.
Morningside Center is county-owned, which usually buys some stability, but the numbers here tell a mixed story. Staffing sits at 3.71 nurse hours per resident day, about 4% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 14% below the home's own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. Turnover runs 50.7%, above the 45.8% national figure, meaning the people at the bedside keep changing. The record shows 16 deficiencies, including one at harm-or-jeopardy level and one abuse-related, and the most recent inspection was January 2025. Quality measures score poorly; staffing scores well on paper.
Livingston Manor Care Center in Chillicothe runs a for-profit corporate operation with 94 certified beds, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.99 hours per resident day, about 3% above the national average of 3.86. That's the strongest number here, though weekends drop roughly 21% below the home's own weekday staffing, and annual turnover hits 61.9% against a national average of 45.8%. The inspection record is where it gets hard to ignore: 54 deficiencies on file, including four at the harm or jeopardy level and nine tied to abuse, plus a $114,365 fine. CMS rated health inspections and quality measures 1 out of 5, with staffing at 4. The most recent inspection was August 21, 2025.
Grand River Health Care is a 60-bed for-profit home in Chillicothe, and the numbers are hard to dress up. Nurse staffing sits at 2.84 hours per resident per day against a national average of 3.86, roughly a quarter less hands-on time than the typical facility, and weekends run slightly thinner than weekdays on top of that. Staff turnover is 81.3%, nearly double the national rate, which means the people caring for residents are, more often than not, new.
The inspection record reflects that instability: 60 deficiencies on file, including 11 tied to abuse and four serious enough to put residents in harm's way, with $68,226 in fines. The last state visit was February 2025. One star each for health inspections and staffing tells you where the problems concentrate.
