All 9 Medicare-certified nursing homes in Canton,
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.
The Pavilion at Edgefield is a for-profit, 99-bed home in Canton, and the numbers tell two different stories. Nurse staffing sits at 3.26 hours per resident day, about 15% under the national average, and weekend coverage drops roughly 12% below its own weekday level, so care thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Staff turnover of 35.1% is better than the national 45.8%, which suggests some stability in the workforce. What pulls the record down is the inspection side: a 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating, 39 deficiencies on the current record, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related. The most recent inspection was November 2025.
Canton Christian Home runs 57 certified beds as a nonprofit, and its clinical quality scores are genuinely strong, the federal quality measure rating comes in at 5 out of 5. Where it slips is staffing: 3.71 nurse hours per resident day sits about 4% under the national average, weekends drop roughly 13% below its own weekday levels, and annual turnover hits 54.7% against a national 45.8%. The inspection record shows 25 deficiencies, including two at the harm level and two tied to abuse, with one fine totaling $9,113; the last inspection was December 11, 2025. The 3-out-of-5 inspection rating and 2-out-of-5 staffing rating are what pull an otherwise strong clinical picture down to a B.
Altercare of Nobles Pond runs 71 beds in Canton under corporate ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.33 hours per resident day, roughly 12% above the national average. That's a real cushion, though weekends dip about 13% below the home's own weekday levels, so coverage isn't perfectly even across the week.
The bigger question mark is turnover: 61.7% annually against a national average of 45.8%, meaning a lot of the people delivering that care are new to the building. Inspections show 21 deficiencies on the current record, none at the harm level, one abuse-related. The most recent inspection was June 2025, so the picture is current rather than stale.
Hall Of Fame Rehabilitation And Nursing Center runs on 3.05 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a fifth below the national average, and weekends drop about 10% below what it manages during the week. That thin coverage shows up in its staffing rating, which sits at the bottom of CMS's scale. The inspection record is heavier: 43 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, with the most recent inspection dated March 26, 2026. Ownership is for-profit, through a limited liability company. Staff turnover, at 44.4%, is actually slightly better than the national figure. Quality measures score well, but they measure resident outcomes, not how many hands are available when someone needs help.
The Pines Healthcare Center runs on thinner nursing coverage than most homes, 3.36 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends get leaner still, dropping about 11% below its own weekday level. Its inspection record tells a more reassuring story: a 4-out-of-5 star rating, last surveyed in May 2025, with 22 deficiencies on file, none of them at the harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related. Staff turnover of 37.7% is actually better than the 45.8% national figure, which suggests workers stay put more than is typical. Quality measures score 5 out of 5. The tension here is real: strong outcomes and inspection results, but staffing is the weak spot.
Mckinley Nursing runs 176 certified beds in Canton under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing numbers are the first thing that stands out. Nurses provide 2.91 hours per resident per day against a national average of 3.86, roughly a quarter less care time, and weekends drop about 11% below what the home manages on weekdays. Annual turnover sits at 52.3%, higher than the 45.8% national figure, which means the people left are often the newest ones. The health inspection record shows 77 deficiencies, including six tied to abuse and one at the harm or jeopardy level. Quality measures score well, but that's the part of the picture families see least. Staffing is where the daily experience lives.
Gardens of Belden Village runs about 3.30 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 15% under the national average, and weekends dip another 12% below its own weekday staffing. That thin coverage shows up in the numbers: a one-star CMS staffing rating and 59.1% annual turnover, well above the 45.8% national figure. The current record carries 39 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and four tied to abuse. A four-star quality measure score doesn't cancel that out, those measures track resident outcomes, not how many hands are on deck. Ownership is a for-profit LLC, and the last inspection was April 2026.
Astoria Skilled Nursing And Rehabilitation runs 83 beds in Canton under corporate ownership, and the numbers that stand out are the ones about people. Nurse staffing sits at 3.46 hours per resident day, roughly 10% under the national figure, and it thins out further on weekends, about 15% below the home's own weekday level. Staff turnover is 63.1%, well above the 45.8% national average, which means the aides and nurses your family member sees are frequently new. The health inspection record shows 48 deficiencies, including five at the harm level and four tied to abuse, with $147,894 in fines. The quality measure score looks strong, but that's built on charted data, not on how the place is actually run day to day.
Bethany Nursing Home runs about 86 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits modestly above the national average at 4.00 nurse hours per resident day. That edge fades on weekends, when coverage drops roughly 8% below its own weekday level, and nearly half its staff turns over each year, 49.2%, a bit worse than the 45.8% national figure. The inspection record is the real concern: a 1-star health inspection rating, 45 deficiencies on file, including 3 tied to abuse, though none reached harm or jeopardy. A 5-star quality measure score stands out against that. The last inspection was March 2026, so the record is current.
