Nursing homes across Lake County, Ohio, graded on the federal inspection
record, nurse staffing and staff turnover. County rank is shown on each home's profile.
Ohio Living Breckenridge Village runs a 72-bed nonprofit home in Willoughby, and the staffing numbers are the strongest part of the picture: 4.12 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 7% above the national average. Weekend coverage dips about 10% below its own weekday level, so ask how that plays out on a Saturday. Turnover sits at 34.6% against a national 45.8%, which matters because familiar aides tend to notice changes sooner. The current record shows five deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, none tied to abuse. That single high-level citation is the thing worth asking about directly before you tour.
Concord Ridge runs about 3.24 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 16% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip another 7% below its own weekday staffing. That thin coverage is the main thing pulling its staffing rating down to 2 out of 5. Turnover is the brighter spot, 31.9% against a national 45.8%, so the aides and nurses who are there tend to stay. Inspections look decent on the surface: a 4/5 health inspection rating, last visit in August 2024. But the current record carries 17 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, which is worth asking about directly.
Homestead II runs 46 certified beds in Painesville under corporate ownership, and its inspection and quality scores are genuinely strong, four and five stars respectively, with a clean January 2025 inspection and five total deficiencies, none at the harm level. Where it slips is staffing: 3.47 nurse hours per resident day, about 10% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends run roughly 11% thinner than weekdays. Annual turnover sits at 48.8%, a bit above the national 45.8%. One abuse-related deficiency is on the record. If you're touring, ask how they cover weekend shifts and what that abuse citation involved.
Wickliffe Country Place runs 170 certified beds under for-profit limited liability ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.81 hours per resident day, just under the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop roughly 15% below weekday coverage, and annual turnover is 57.5%, well above the 45.8% national figure. The health inspection record shows 35 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, with the most recent inspection in September 2024. Quality measure scores run high, but that inspection history and the churn in staff are the parts worth asking about directly before you decide.
Madison Health Care runs 125 certified beds under corporate ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 2.94 hours per resident day, roughly a quarter below the national average of 3.86. That gap matters most on weekends, when coverage dips even further below the home's own weekday level. Turnover is actually a bright spot at 30.6%, well under the 45.8% national figure, so the people who stay tend to stay. The inspection record is where things get harder to defend: 34 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and four tied to abuse, plus a $109,991 fine. The most recent inspection was in March 2025. Quality measures score well, but staffing and inspections drag the overall picture down.
Willoughby Post Acute runs 157 certified beds under corporate ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 2.99 hours per resident day, roughly 22% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 11% below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. The 43.9% turnover rate is slightly better than the national 45.8%, which is a small point in its favor. But 21 deficiencies on the current record, 2 of them at harm or jeopardy level, along with $54,520 in fines, tell you inspections have found real problems. Quality measures score well; staffing and inspection results are where the concerns live.
Mentor Ridge Health and Rehabilitation sits in Lake County with 99 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its inspection record is genuinely strong, five deficiencies on file, none at the harm or jeopardy level, no abuse findings, and a survey that wrapped up recently in February 2026. Where the picture shifts is staffing, which is the thinnest part of this home's profile: 3.71 nurse hours per resident day lands about 4% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 9% below its own weekday levels. Annual turnover runs 52.2% against a national 45.8%, so the people present are often new. Strong inspections, shakier day-to-day coverage, worth asking how weekends are actually staffed before you decide.
Mentor Hills runs 147 beds under a for-profit LLC, and its staffing is the number to sit with. At 3.40 nurse hours per resident day, it's about 12% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly another 15% below its own weekday level, so the thinnest coverage lands exactly when families tend to visit. Annual turnover of 62.1% sits well above the 45.8% national figure, which means the people caring for your relative are often new to the building. The current record shows 35 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and four tied to abuse. Recent inspection, February 2025. Quality measures look solid, but staffing and that deficiency history are what pull the overall picture down.
Heritage Healthcare of Painesville runs on 3.05 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly a fifth below the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 11% below its own weekday staffing. Turnover sits at 70.5% against a national average of 45.8%, so the aides and nurses around your relative are likely to change often, and CMS gives staffing one star out of five. The quality measure score is five stars, which sounds great until you notice it's built on data the home largely reports itself. Twenty-four deficiencies are on the current record, two tied to abuse, none rising to actual harm. The last inspection was September 2024. Ask about weekend coverage and who actually supervises evenings.
Concord Village runs a nursing staff of 3.57 hours per resident day, about 7 percent under the national figure, and weekend coverage dips roughly 5 percent below its own weekday levels. The bigger number is turnover: 75.3% of staff leave each year against a national average of 45.8%, which is the kind of churn that shows up as unfamiliar faces on a Tuesday night shift. Inspections look strong, a 5/5 health rating, most recent visit in June 2025, and 12 deficiencies with none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related. So the care environment passes scrutiny; the question is whether the staffing can hold up between visits.
Grand River Health & Rehab Center runs 80 certified beds in Painesville under corporate for-profit ownership, and its record has some hard edges. Nurse staffing sits at 3.55 hours per resident day, roughly 8% under the national average, and weekends drop about 10% below the home's own weekday level. Turnover lands near the national rate at 46%, so that's not the outlier here, the inspection history is. Thirty-four deficiencies are on the current record, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, with one fine totaling $66,420 and a 2-out-of-5 inspection rating. The most recent inspection was May 2025, so the picture is current. Quality measures score well at 4/5, but strong clinical numbers don't offset a thin staffing margin and a serious deficiency pattern.
Cardinal Woods runs on 3.02 nurse staffing hours per resident day, roughly 22 percent under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 11 percent below what the home staffs on weekdays. That thin coverage sits alongside a 67 percent annual turnover rate, well above the 45.8 percent national figure, so the aides and nurses at the bedside keep changing. The current inspection record shows 42 deficiencies, five at harm or jeopardy level and eight tied to abuse, with $27,318 in fines and a survey that dates to August 2024. The quality measures look better than the rest, but they don't offset what's happening with staffing and oversight.
Kirtland Woods of Journey runs on 2.99 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly a quarter below the national average of 3.86, and weekend shifts are thinner still. That staffing level comes with a 77.7% annual turnover rate, well over the national 45.8%, meaning the aides and nurses your family member sees are constantly changing. The inspection record is where things get serious: 54 deficiencies, four at harm or jeopardy level, five tied to abuse, and two fines totaling $314,178. It's a for-profit LLC with 177 beds, and its most recent inspection was May 5, 2026. If you're considering this one, ask hard questions about direct-care coverage on evenings and weekends before you decide anything.
Carecore At Mentor runs on 2.98 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter below the national average, and weekends are thinner still, about 11% below its own weekday staffing. That gap matters because needs don't take weekends off. The workforce itself is unstable: 72.2% annual turnover against a national 45.8%. Inspectors have cited 32 deficiencies, six at harm or jeopardy level, one tied to abuse, and fined the home $35,457. Its last inspection was July 2024. A for-profit LLC operation with one-star ratings on both health inspections and staffing, and the record is recent enough to reflect how it runs now.
