Saunders Medical Center is county-owned, and that shows in the numbers. Nurse staffing runs 4.83 hours per resident day, roughly a quarter above the national average of 3.86, and turnover sits at 39.7% against a national 45.8%, a fairly stable crew for this industry. Weekend coverage dips about 8% below weekday levels, which is common but worth asking about if your family visits mainly on Saturdays and Sundays. Five deficiencies on the current record, none at the harm level, none abuse-related, and the last inspection was in April 2026, so the picture is recent. All three CMS ratings, health inspection, quality measures, staffing, come in at 4 out of 5.

South Haven Living Center runs on better-than-average nurse coverage, 3.95 hours per resident day against a national figure near 3.86, and its staff stick around at a rate most homes would envy, with turnover at 32.2% versus 45.8% nationally. Weekend hours drop roughly 15% below weekday levels, so ask how that plays out on a Sunday afternoon. The inspection record is clean where it matters most: six deficiencies, none involving harm or abuse, and the most recent survey came in July 2025. Quality measure scores sit lower than the staffing and inspection marks, which is the tension worth asking about when you visit.

Adept Nursing & Rehab Of Ashland runs 97 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing comes in at 4.25 hours per resident day, roughly 10% above the national average of 3.86. That's the good news, and it's real. But weekends run about 10% thinner than weekdays, and annual turnover sits at 64.7% against a national average of 45.8%, so the people providing that care change over constantly.
The inspection record shows 19 deficiencies, three of them serious enough to cause harm or jeopardy. CMS rates quality measures just 1 out of 5 stars. The most recent inspection was July 22, 2025. Combine thin weekend coverage, heavy turnover, and three harm-level findings, and the picture is a home with adequate weekday hours but shaky follow-through.
