Nursing homes across Sandusky County, Ohio, graded on the federal inspection
record, nurse staffing and staff turnover. County rank is shown on each home's profile.
Bellevue Care Center runs 3.61 nurse hours per resident per day, about 6% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 14% below its own weekday staffing. That thin weekend coverage is the main reason its staffing rating sits at 2 out of 5 despite strong marks elsewhere. Turnover is the bright spot: 31.5% against a national 45.8%, so the aides and nurses here tend to stay. Inspections back that up, with a 5/5 health inspection rating, five deficiencies on record, none involving harm or abuse, and the most recent survey from October 2024. Quality measures also score 5/5. Corporate-owned, 63 beds, solid care on paper, just watch the weekend coverage.
Valley View runs 60 certified beds in Fremont under for-profit LLC ownership. Its nurse staffing sits at 3.81 hours per resident day, just under the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage drops roughly 9% below what the home staffs on weekdays, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. The current inspection record shows 19 deficiencies, two of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, plus one fine of $16,801; the most recent inspection was April 2025. Annual turnover of 47.5% runs slightly above the national 45.8%, meaning nearly half the nursing staff leaves each year. Resident outcome measures score well, but consistent staffing and a clean inspection history are the weaker points here.
The Willows at Bellevue runs 3.79 nurse hours per resident day, just under the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage drops about 13% below what it manages on weekdays. Turnover sits at 40.6%, better than the 45.8% national figure, and the home's record shows 15 deficiencies with none at the harm level and none tied to abuse; its last inspection was April 10, 2025. For a 60-bed for-profit, the inspection and quality marks come in strong, and the staffing shortfall against the national number is small enough that it reads more like a rounding gap than a pattern. The weekend dip is the number to ask about directly.
Countryside Manor runs on 4.28 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 11% above the national average, and its quality measure score is strong at 4 out of 5 stars. But those numbers sit on top of a 1-star inspection record with 46 deficiencies, including three at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, plus two fines totaling $32,938. Staff turnover is the real problem: 73.3% a year against a national average of 45.8%, with weekend staffing about 15% thinner than weekdays. People are leaving faster than they can be replaced, and the inspection record reflects it.
Parkview Care Center runs 38 beds in Fremont under corporate ownership, and the numbers show real strain. Nurse staffing sits at 3.51 hours per resident day, about 9% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 18% below what the home itself staffs on weekdays, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover tells its own story: 75% of staff leave each year against a national rate near 46%.
The inspection record is where things get serious. Fifty deficiencies are on file, including three at the harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse, with $138,397 in fines across two penalties. The last inspection was March 2025.
Spring Creek runs 120 certified beds in Green Springs under a for-profit LLC, and its staffing is the number that stands out. At 3.72 nurse hours per resident per day, it sits about 4% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 7% below its own weekday level, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover at 41.3% is actually a bit better than the 45.8% national figure, which is the one bright spot. The inspection record is heavier: 31 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse, plus a $77,618 fine. Its last inspection was February 2024.
Bethesda Care Center runs 89 certified beds as a nonprofit, and its overall nurse staffing of 4.05 hours per resident day sits about 5% above the national figure. That headline number looks fine until you notice weekends run roughly 14% thinner than weekdays, which matters if your family member needs help on a Saturday.
Staff turnover is the bigger concern: 60% a year against a national average near 46%, meaning most of the people caring for residents are relatively new. Inspections add pressure too, a 2/5 health inspection rating, 26 deficiencies on record including one at the harm level, and a $64,604 fine. The last inspection was May 2024.
Windsor Lane runs on a for-profit LLC model with 89 certified beds, and its staffing is genuinely better than most: 4.32 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 12% above the national average, with turnover at 39.8% compared to 45.8% nationally. That's a real strength, though weekends dip about 8% below the home's own weekday coverage. The trouble sits in inspections. A 2-out-of-5 health inspection rating and 42 deficiencies on record, one at harm or jeopardy level, seven abuse-related, tell you the day-to-day care environment has drawn repeated federal citations, most recently in July 2024. Strong quality scores and solid staffing numbers are offset by that inspection history, which is what pulls the overall picture down to average.
Majestic Care Of Clyde, a for-profit LLC home with 74 beds, runs lean on nursing staff, 3.11 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 13% below its own weekday numbers, and annual turnover sits at 52.5%, well above the 45.8% national figure. Its inspection record shows 50 deficiencies, none flagged at harm or jeopardy level, though 11 are abuse-related, and the last state visit was in November 2024. Despite the strong quality measure rating, the low staffing and inspection history are what pull its overall standing down.
