Wooster Community Hospital's skilled nursing unit runs on 7.08 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 83% above the national average of 3.86, and its staff turnover sits at 28.6% against a national 45.8%, meaning the people caring for residents tend to stay. Weekend coverage dips about 9% below weekday levels, a gap worth asking about if your family visits mainly on Saturdays. The inspection record is clean where it counts: three deficiencies total, none at the harm level, none abuse-related, with the most recent survey in January 2024. City-owned and small at 22 beds, it pairs that staffing with 5/5 ratings across health inspections, quality measures, and staffing.

Country Pointe runs a tight ship on inspections, a five-star health inspection rating and only four deficiencies on the current record, none at the harm level, with a recent March 2025 survey. Staffing is where the picture gets more mixed. At 3.26 nurse hours per resident day, this 42-bed for-profit home sits about 16% under the national average, and weekends run roughly 7% leaner than weekdays. That gap matters in a small building where there's less margin to absorb a callout. One genuine bright spot: turnover at 31% is well below the 45.8% national figure, so the people who are there tend to stay. Ask how weekend coverage is actually staffed.

Wayne County Care Center runs on county taxpayer money, and the staffing numbers mostly hold up, 3.93 nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the national average. But that average hides a weekend problem: coverage drops roughly 17% below its own weekday level, which is when falls and infections tend to happen. The bigger concern is a 58% annual turnover rate, well above the 45.8% national figure, and 12 deficiencies on the current record including one at the harm level and three tied to abuse. Inspectors were last out in November 2024 and rated health inspections 4 out of 5.

Smithville Western runs 3.63 nurse hours per resident day, about 6% under the national average, and weekends dip roughly 10% below its own weekday staffing. Turnover sits at 34.6%, which is better than the 45.8% national figure, and the last inspection was in July 2024. What holds the record back is the inspection history: 38 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, plus a $42,777 fine. For-profit corporate ownership. The quality and staffing scores look strong on paper, so the real question is whether the care gaps that produced those 38 findings have actually been fixed.

Avenue At Wooster runs lean on nursing hours, 3.28 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 16% below what the home staffs during the week. That thin coverage shows up in the inspection record: 33 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse. The quality measure score is strong, but it sits next to a two-star staffing rating and a two-star health inspection rating, so read the clinical numbers with that context. Turnover at 35.8% is better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for continuity. This is a for-profit corporate home last inspected in March 2025.

West View Healthy Living is a 93-bed nonprofit home in Wooster that just went through a fresh inspection in January 2025 and came out with a strong four-star health inspection rating. The trouble sits elsewhere: its staffing rating is one star, and 53.9% of staff turned over in a year, well above the 45.8% national average, that churn makes consistent daily care harder to deliver, which likely drags down its two-star quality measure score. Twenty deficiencies are on record, two tied to abuse, though none reached actual harm or jeopardy. A solid inspection shouldn't hide a thin, unstable workforce.

Glendora Health Care Center runs about 49 beds in Wooster, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.34 hours per resident per day, roughly 13% under the national average, with weekends a bit thinner than weekdays. The bigger concern is turnover: 67.6% of staff leave annually, against a national average of 45.8%, which means the people caring for residents are often new and still learning the building. Inspections back that up. The home has 38 deficiencies on its current record, including four tied to abuse and one at the harm or jeopardy level, plus a $17,080 fine. Federal inspectors last visited in September 2024.
