Gordon Countryside Care runs on a government hospital district model, and the numbers show a facility that's been kept in decent shape. Nurse staffing sits at 4.30 hours per resident day, about 11% above the national average, and the staff actually stay, 31.3% turnover against a national rate of 45.8%. Inspectors were last in on September 23, 2025, and the 12 deficiencies on record include nothing at the harm level and nothing abuse-related. The one soft spot: weekend staffing drops roughly 16% below what the home runs during the week, so coverage on Saturdays and Sundays isn't quite what families see Monday through Friday.

Nurse staffing at Oglala Sioux Lakota Nursing Home runs 6.77 hours per resident day, roughly 75% above the national average of 3.86, a serious number that separates it from most homes. Staff turnover sits at 35.1%, below the national 45.8%, and the last inspection was recent, December 2025. The concerns are on the record: 20 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related. State surveyors gave three stars for health inspections and three for quality measures, while staffing earned five. Weekend coverage dips about 13% below weekday levels, which matters when aides are already stretched. For families weighing hands-on care against regulatory history, the staffing numbers are the case for this place; the deficiency record is the caution.

Pioneer Manor runs on city government ownership in a small Sheridan County town, and the numbers mostly hold up. Nurse staffing sits at 3.99 hours per resident day, a touch above the national average, and the weekend-to-weekday gap of roughly 15% is worth asking about directly, that's when families tend to notice less coverage. Staff turnover at 44.8% lands right around the national figure, so this isn't a home bleeding workers faster than everyone else. Nine deficiencies on record, one serious enough to involve harm, none tied to abuse, with an inspection completed at the end of 2025. That single harm-level finding is the one item I'd want explained before deciding.
