All 4 Medicare-certified nursing homes in Stow,
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.
Seasons Nursing and Rehab runs 50 beds in Stow under corporate for-profit ownership, and the staffing numbers are the first thing worth knowing. At 3.18 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 18 percent under the national average, with weekends running roughly 14 percent thinner than its own weekdays. What offsets that is retention: turnover is 27.5 percent against a national 45.8 percent, so the aides and nurses who are there tend to stay, which matters for consistency of care. The tradeoff shows in the record, 27 deficiencies, two tied to abuse, none at the harm level, and a health inspection from May 2023 that's getting stale. Strong quality measures paired with weak staffing and inspection scores is the honest picture.
Hudson Springs runs 4.13 nurse hours per resident day, which is above the national average of 3.86, but that headline number hides a staffing pattern worth asking about: weekends run about 10% thinner than weekdays, and annual turnover sits at 68.7% against a national 45.8%. That churn matters more than the raw hours, because it means the people providing care keep changing. The home’s record shows 37 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, with its last inspection in April 2026. A 4-out-of-5 quality measure score doesn’t cancel out a 2-out-of-5 staffing rating or that deficiency record. If you’re considering this one, ask directly how they cover weekends and what changed after that harm-level finding.
Nurse staffing at Arbors At Stow sits at 3.90 hours per resident day, barely above the national average of 3.86, and weekends run about 11% thinner than weekdays. More telling is the turnover: 53.8% annually against a national average of 45.8%, meaning more than half the nursing staff leaves each year. The inspection record is where things get serious, 43 deficiencies, five at harm or jeopardy level, eight involving abuse, and four fines totaling $252,801, with the most recent inspection dated March 2026. A 5/5 quality measure rating stands in odd contrast to a 1/5 inspection rating, but quality measures come from self-reported data, while inspections and fines come from what surveyors actually found.
The Pavilion at Stow runs about 51 beds under corporate ownership, and its staffing is the number that stands out: 3.16 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 18% under the national average of 3.86, with weekends dipping another 7% below its own weekday level. That thin coverage shows up in the 1-out-of-5 staffing rating. Turnover sits at 72.1% against a national 45.8%, so the aides and nurses cycling through are often new. Inspections last happened in August 2023, and the record carries 27 deficiencies, including one abuse-related citation, though none rose to harm or jeopardy. Health and quality measures both land mid-range at 3 stars, which suggests care isn't falling apart, but the workforce behind it keeps changing.
