Tallmadge Health & Rehab Center runs 90 certified beds as a for-profit corporation, and the numbers tell a split story. Nurse staffing sits at 3.90 hours per resident day, roughly a hair above the national average of 3.86, but weekends drop about 11% below the home's own weekday level, and annual turnover is 56.2% against a national 45.8%, meaning the people around your family member change often. The inspection record is the bigger concern: 37 deficiencies, three at harm or jeopardy level, one abuse-related, and a CMS health inspection rating of 1 out of 5, though the quality measure rating is 4 out of 5.
Chardon Woods runs 161 certified beds in Geauga County under corporate ownership, and its staffing is the number that stands out for the wrong reason. At 3.55 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 8% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 14% below its own weekday level, so the coverage gap widens exactly when families tend to visit.
The inspection record is cleaner than most: 12 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related, and the most recent survey came in January 2025. Quality measures land mid-range at 3 stars while staffing sits at 1. A family weighing this one should ask how weekend coverage actually gets filled.
The Oaks runs leaner than most: 3.73 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends roughly 8% thinner than weekdays. That staffing pattern helped earn a 1-out-of-5 CMS staffing rating, even as the quality measure score sits at 4. The inspection record is the bigger concern, 52 deficiencies, four at harm or jeopardy level, three tied to abuse, and $80,492 in fines across three penalties. A 2-out-of-5 health inspection rating reflects that history, and the most recent survey came in July 2025. For-profit, limited liability ownership means the operator carries limited personal exposure for what happens here. Ask about weekend nurse coverage and the abuse-related findings before deciding.
Scioto Rehabilitation & Care Center is a for-profit, limited-liability operation with 125 certified beds in Columbus, and its federal record is genuinely troubling. Inspectors have logged 89 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, and the home has been fined $100,257. Its staffing and health inspection ratings both sit at the lowest mark CMS gives, meaning nurse coverage and the care environment lag badly behind what most homes provide, while its quality measures look better on paper. The most recent inspection closed out December 31, 2024, so this is current, not a stale history. If you're considering it, ask directly about the abuse citations and how many nurses are actually on the floor per resident.
Edith Lane Of Cincinnati runs 167 certified beds as a for-profit corporation, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.26 hours per resident day, roughly 16% under the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips about 15% below its own weekday level, so the thinnest shifts get even thinner. The inspection record is the harder read: 72 deficiencies currently on file, three at harm or jeopardy level and six tied to abuse, plus two fines totaling $159,338. Its last inspection was April 2025, so the record is recent, not stale. Quality measures score well, but that's a narrow slice of the picture, staffing and survey results are where families should focus when weighing this one.
King David runs 355 certified beds in Beachwood under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing numbers are a mixed picture. Total nurse coverage of 4.88 hours per resident day sits about 26% above the national average, but weekends run roughly 21% leaner than weekdays, and annual turnover hits 63.5% against a national 45.8%, so coverage depends heavily on who's still there. The inspection record is the harder read: a 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating, 64 deficiencies including one at the harm or jeopardy level and six tied to abuse, plus a $10,221 fine. Quality measure scores look strong on paper, but the last inspection closed in September 2025, and the staffing math doesn't erase what surveyors found.
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.
Gardens Of North Olmsted runs on thinner nursing coverage than most homes, 3.27 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends dipping further below its own weekday levels. That shortfall shows up in the federal staffing rating, which sits at the bottom of the scale.
The inspection record is the bigger concern. The current file holds 56 deficiencies, including six tied to abuse, and the last full inspection was in December 2022, more than two years ago. A for-profit partnership operating 99 beds, this home also sees 58.5% of its nursing staff leave annually, well above the 45.8% national rate. Its quality measure scores look strong, but that data comes from the home's own reporting.
Marion Nursing & Rehab is a for-profit, 99-bed home where the numbers point in different directions. Nurse staffing sits at 3.47 hours per resident day, roughly 10 percent under the national average, and weekends run about 10 percent thinner than weekdays, a pattern that matters most when families visit and fewer hands are on the floor. Its 28 deficiencies include one at the harm level and one tied to abuse, alongside a $40,053 fine, and the most recent inspection was in February 2026. Staff turnover of 39.4 percent is actually better than the 45.8 percent national figure, so retention isn't the weak spot here. The inspection record and low staffing rating are.
Arbors At Gallipolis runs 99 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its strongest number is staff retention: 26.8% turnover against a national average of 45.8%, which matters because consistent caregivers tend to know residents' routines. The catch is raw staffing hours, at 3.72 per resident day, about 4% under the national average, and weekends dip roughly 13% below the home's own weekday coverage, so the hours get thinnest exactly when families tend to visit. Inspections are a bigger concern: 23 deficiencies on the current record, including two at harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, with the most recent inspection in April 2025.
Arbors At Delaware runs on about 3.18 nurse staffing hours per resident day, roughly 18 percent under the national average, and weekends dip even further below its own weekday numbers. Annual turnover sits at 62.7 percent against a national average near 46 percent, so the people caring for residents are cycling through fast. The inspection record is heavy: 62 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse, with a 1-star health inspection rating even though the quality measure score is strong at 5 stars. The most recent inspection was February 2, 2026, so the record is current, not stale.
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.
Welcome Nursing Home in Oberlin runs a for-profit operation with 99 certified beds, and its staffing numbers are genuinely better than most: 4.09 nurse hours per resident per day, about 6% above the national average, with a 4/5 staffing rating to match. Turnover sits at 27.7%, well under the 45.8% national figure, which matters for consistency of care. The catch is inspections. The current record carries 22 deficiencies, including four tied to abuse, though none rose to the harm or jeopardy level. A 2/5 health inspection rating against a 4/5 on quality measures suggests the day-to-day clinical picture looks steadier than the survey history does. Weekend staffing drops roughly 13% below weekday levels, so ask how that plays out on Saturdays and Sundays.
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.
Shady Lawn Nursing Home is a for-profit LLC operation in Dalton with 98 certified beds, and the numbers split sharply depending on where you look. The health inspection record is the real problem: 37 deficiencies on file, three of them serious enough to put residents in harm's way, plus five tied to abuse, and a single $40,950 fine. Staffing sits at 3.71 nurse hours per resident day, about 4% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 6% below what the home itself manages during the week. Turnover at 42.1% is slightly better than the 45.8% national figure, so retention isn't the weak spot here, the inspection history is.
Lost Creek Rehabilitation and Nursing Center runs about 3.11 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 19% under the national average, and weekends drop another 13% below its own weekday pace. That thin coverage shows up in the staffing rating, which CMS puts at one star, and in turnover: 51.2% of staff leave annually against a national figure near 46%. Inspections tell a similar story, 29 deficiencies on the current record, three serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, three tied to abuse, and $55,088 in fines across two cases. Ownership is for-profit, through a limited liability company. The most recent inspection was June 9, 2025, so the record is current.
Summit Acres runs 95 beds in Caldwell under corporate ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.48 hours per resident day, roughly 10% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop about 11% below what the home staffs on weekdays, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover is 40.5%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure. What stands out more is the inspection record: 52 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and nine tied to abuse, with a $16,801 fine and a 2-out-of-5 inspection rating. The 5-out-of-5 quality measure score reflects resident care metrics, not the supervision and safety problems inspectors documented.
Presidential Post-Acute runs 99 beds in Marion under corporate for-profit ownership, and its staffing numbers are the first thing to notice: 3.01 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 22% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop about 12% below the home's own weekday level, and turnover sits at 48.8% against a national 45.8%, both worth asking about directly. The inspection record shows 17 deficiencies, two at harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, with a 2/5 health inspection rating and a 2/5 staffing rating. Quality measures score better at 4/5, and the most recent inspection was March 2026. Ask how the abuse deficiency was resolved and what weekend coverage looks like.
Arbors At Milford runs 4.56 nurse hours per resident day, about 18% above the national average of 3.86, which is the strongest thing this home has going for it. The catch is consistency: weekend staffing drops roughly 13% below its own weekday level, and 53.1% of nursing staff turned over in a year versus 45.8% nationally, so the people providing that care keep changing. Its inspection record carries 47 deficiencies, 7 of them at the harm or jeopardy level and 4 abuse-related, along with four fines totaling $117,782. Corporate-owned and 90 beds, it was last inspected March 12, 2026. Strong hours on paper, thin coverage on weekends, and a serious deficiency history.
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.
