Jackson Creek Post Acute runs about 13% below the national average on nurse staffing, at 3.36 hours per resident day against 3.86 nationally, and weekends drop roughly another 12% below its own weekday levels. That's the number that matters most here, because it's when families tend to visit and when problems surface.
Staff turnover sits at 55.2% against a national average of 45.8%, so the aides and nurses working with your relative are likely to change often. The current inspection record shows 39 deficiencies, one at the harm or jeopardy level, with a $29,186 fine and a December 2025 inspection. The quality measure rating is genuinely strong at 4 out of 5, but the staffing and inspection ratings both sit at 2 out of 5, and that split tells you where the risk lives.

Putnam County Care Center runs about 3.50 nursing hours per resident day, roughly 9% under the national average of 3.86, and weekend staffing drops nearly a fifth below its own weekday levels, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. The current inspection record carries 24 deficiencies, three of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, plus three fines totaling $72,664; the last inspection was September 2024. As a county-owned home, it answers to local government rather than a chain, but that hasn't translated into stronger numbers here. Quality measures look ordinary at three stars, while inspection and staffing sit at two each.

Ignite Medical Resort Blue Springs is a for-profit, LLC-owned home with 90 certified beds, and the numbers tell a mixed story. Its inspection record is strong, a 4/5 health inspection rating, last survey in October 2024, and 14 deficiencies with none at the harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related. Quality measures score 5/5. Staffing is where it slips: 3.51 nurse hours per resident day sits about 9% under the national average, weekend coverage drops roughly 9% below its own weekday level, and turnover runs 55.7% against a national 45.8%. Good outcomes on paper, but thinner coverage and churning staff are worth asking about directly.

Moore Few Care Center is city-owned, which is unusual, and its 108 beds are staffed at 3.83 nurse hours per resident day, a hair under the national average of 3.86. Weekends are where that thins out: about 17% less coverage than weekdays, and half the staff turns over each year against a national rate near 46%. Inspections look solid on paper, with a 4-out-of-5 health inspection rating and the most recent visit in July 2024, but 21 deficiencies sit on the current record and three of those rose to harm or jeopardy. One fine totaling $13,662. The quality measure side tells a different story than the inspection side, and that gap is worth asking about directly.

Aspire Senior Living Joplin runs 120 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing numbers are the first thing I'd flag. At 3.34 nurse hours per resident per day, it sits about 13% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly another 12% below its own weekday level, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. The inspection record backs that up: 48 deficiencies on file, including four abuse-related, and a 1/5 health inspection star rating from CMS. Quality measures score well at 4/5, and the most recent inspection was May 2025, so the record is current rather than stale. Ask specifically about weekend nurse coverage and how the abuse-related citations were resolved.

Aspire Senior Living Jonesburg runs on thin staffing. At 1.79 nurse hours per resident day, it's about 54% below the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 19% below its own weekday levels. That's the kind of gap that shows up as slower call-light response and less time for hands-on care. The 50% annual turnover, above the 45.8% national figure, means aides are constantly new. The current record carries 41 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and three tied to abuse. Ownership is for-profit, through a limited liability company. A 4/5 quality measure score sits on the books, but with a 1/5 staffing rating and a 2/5 inspection rating, those quality numbers deserve a closer look.

Medicalodges Nevada runs 4.12 nurse hours per resident per day, about 7% above the national average, and that's the strongest part of its record. The catch is who's there to deliver it: turnover sits at 70.6% a year against a national 45.8%, and weekend staffing drops roughly 17% below weekday levels, so the coverage that looks good on paper may not feel steady week to week. The home carries 26 deficiencies from its June 2024 inspection, two of them abuse-related, with no harm-level citations, and it holds two stars each on health inspections and quality measures. A for-profit corporation owns its 100 certified beds.

Citizens Memorial Healthcare Facility in Bolivar runs 111 certified beds as a nonprofit, and its staffing tells a mixed story. At 3.16 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 18% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly another 18% below its own weekday coverage. Turnover, at 42.5%, is actually a bit better than the 45.8% national figure. The inspection record carries 25 deficiencies, including one at the harm level, though none are abuse-related, and the most recent survey was in December 2025. Quality measure scores are the weak spot here, landing at 1 out of 5 stars.

Aspire Senior Living East Prairie runs 52 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its inspection record is the strongest part of the picture: a 4-out-of-5 health inspection rating with no deficiencies at the harm or jeopardy level. The trouble sits elsewhere. Nurse staffing comes in at 3.45 hours per resident day, roughly 11% under the national average, and weekends run about 19% below the home's own weekday level. Annual turnover of 64.9% is well above the 45.8% national figure, and there's one abuse-related deficiency on the current record. Quality measures rate 2 out of 5. Inspections look solid; daily staffing consistency is the question worth asking about.

Forsyth Care Center runs 2.90 nurse hours per resident per day against a national average of 3.86, so the people on staff are covering a lot more ground per person than is typical. Weekends get thinner still, about 16% below weekday coverage, which matters most when families visit and notice who's available. The good news sitting next to that: turnover of 36.5% is well below the national 45.8%, meaning the staff who remain tend to stick around. Twenty-five deficiencies appear on the current record, none at the harm level but two tied to abuse, and the last inspection closed in November 2025. A for-profit corporate owner, 120 certified beds.

Fountainbleau Nursing Center runs 116 certified beds in Festus under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing numbers are the first thing to notice: 2.66 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 31 percent below the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage drops about 19 percent below its own weekday levels, which matters if your family visits or calls on Saturdays and Sundays. Turnover sits at 44.1 percent, close to the national 45.8 percent, so retention isn't the outlier here, raw hours are. The current inspection record shows 20 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level but two tied to abuse, with the last inspection dated February 12, 2026.

Stonebridge Owensville runs 131 certified beds under corporate ownership, and its staffing is the number worth sitting with. At 3.44 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 11% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 19% below the home's own weekday levels, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Annual turnover of 50.8% runs above the 45.8% national figure, meaning more than half the nursing staff turns over each year. The inspection record shows 20 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, with $20,383 in fines across two penalties. Its last inspection was August 2024.

Winchester Nursing Center runs about 3.41 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 12% under the national average of 3.86, and the gap widens on weekends, about 16% thinner than its own weekday coverage. Staff turnover sits at 55.6% against a national 45.8%, so nearly six in ten caregivers leave within a year, which matters for whether aides and nurses know your mother's routine. The good news is the inspection record: a 5/5 health inspection rating, last surveyed July 2025, with seven deficiencies on file but none at the harm level and none abuse-related. The corporation that owns it keeps the building clean on paper; the question is whether the floor stays covered.

Baptist Homes of Arcadia Valley runs 36 certified beds in Ironton, under church-related nonprofit ownership. Its eight deficiencies on the current record include nothing at the harm or jeopardy level and nothing tied to abuse, which matters more than the raw count, most of what surveyors flagged is paperwork and process, not resident safety. The last inspection came in March 2025, so the record is recent. At 36 beds, this is a small home where staffing ratios and administrator turnover tend to swing widely from quarter to quarter, and that volatility is what a family should ask about directly on a visit. Ask who the director of nursing is, how long they've been there, and how many CNAs have worked here more than a year.

Maple Lawn has a staffing edge on paper, 4.06 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 5% above the national average, but that number hides two problems. Weekend coverage drops about 9% below its own weekday level, and 65% of staff turn over each year against a national rate near 46%, so the people providing that care keep changing. The inspection record is harder to explain away: 44 deficiencies, five of them serious enough to put residents at risk of harm, seven tied to abuse, and two fines totaling $74,653. County ownership and a December 2025 inspection don't offset what those findings describe.

Life Care Center of Sullivan runs 120 certified beds as a for-profit corporation, and its staffing numbers are the part worth sitting with. At 3.32 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 14% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly another 11% below its own weekday coverage. Turnover is 57.7% against a national 45.8%, which means a good share of the people caring for residents are still learning the building. The inspection record shows 30 deficiencies, two at harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in October 2024. Staffing and quality measures each land mid-range; the staffing star doesn't.

Community Springs runs lean on nursing hours, 3.24 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends about 14 percent below its own weekday coverage. That thin weekend margin matters most when families visit and see less staff on the floor. Turnover works in the home's favor, though: 36.9 percent leaving annually is meaningfully better than the 45.8 percent national figure, so the people who stay tend to know residents. Inspections look solid on the surface, a recent January 2025 visit and no deficiencies at the harm or jeopardy level, but twelve total deficiencies, two tied to abuse, sit on the record. The low quality-measure score suggests outcomes aren't keeping pace with the staffing and inspection picture.

Claru Deville runs 90 beds in Fredericktown under corporate ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.36 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 13% under the national average, with weekends about 9% thinner than weekdays. The bigger number is turnover: 79.1% of staff left over the past year, against a national rate near 46%, which means the people caring for residents are, more often than not, new. Its inspection record shows 26 deficiencies, four of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy and three tied to abuse, plus one fine of $81,964, and the most recent inspection was in January 2025.

Country Club Rehab runs 73 beds in Warrensburg under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing numbers tell a mixed story. Total nurse hours come in slightly above the national average, but that average masks a 55.4% annual turnover rate, well past the national 45.8%, and weekends run about 6% thinner than weekdays. CMS rates staffing just 1 out of 5 stars despite the decent hours on paper. The inspection record is heavier: 56 deficiencies, including one at the harm-or-jeopardy level and two tied to abuse allegations. A March 2025 inspection is recent, which counts for something, but a 2-star health inspection rating alongside that deficiency count suggests the problems are ongoing rather than past.

Holden Manor runs on about 3.07 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a fifth below the national average, and weekends dip another 10% under its own weekday level. Staff turnover sits at 77.8%, well above the 45.8% national figure, which means the people caring for your family member are likely to change often. The current inspection record carries 38 deficiencies, four of them abuse-related, though none reached the harm or jeopardy level. The last inspection was in August 2024. Quality measures score mid-range, but staffing and inspection results both come in at 2 out of 5 stars under a for-profit corporate owner. Worth asking about weekend coverage and how they retain aides before deciding.
