in the state sit in the federal Special Focus programme.
Longmeadow Care Center runs about 3.06 nurse hours per resident each day, roughly a fifth below the national average, and weekend coverage slips another 7% below its own weekday levels. Staff turnover sits at 61.2% against a national figure near 45.8%, so the people caring for residents are, more often than not, new to the building. The inspection record tells its own story: 36 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, plus a $47,486 fine. The most recent state inspection was in April 2025, so the findings are current rather than stale. Corporate for-profit ownership. The quality-measure scores look strong on paper, but a one-star inspection rating and thin, churning staffing are what families actually live with day to day.
Rocky River Gardens runs on 3.21 nurse staffing hours per resident day, roughly 17 percent under the national average, and weekends drop another 14 percent below its own weekdays. That thin coverage shows up in the numbers: a one-star CMS staffing rating, 58.7 percent annual turnover against a national 45.8 percent, and a one-star health inspection rating backed by 44 deficiencies on record, five of them at harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse. The $68,068 in fines across three actions and an April 2024 inspection round out a pattern that's hard to read kindly. Its five-star quality measure score stands alone against all of it.
Stillwater runs 3.56 nurse hours per resident day, about 8% under the national average, and weekend staffing barely dips below its own weekday numbers, that part is steady. The bigger issue is retention: 66.1% of nursing staff turned over in a year, well above the 45.8% national figure, and CMS gives the home just one star for staffing. Its current record carries 25 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level but one abuse-related, with the most recent inspection dated April 2026. Quality measures score well and inspections land mid-range, which is why the overall picture comes out average despite the thin staffing and churn.
Als Woodstock runs 42 beds in Woodstock under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing numbers are the first thing I'd flag: 3.09 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a fifth below the national average, with weekends running about 5% thinner than weekdays. Turnover sits at 59.5% against a national 45.8%, which means the aide helping your mother today is more likely than not to be gone within the year. The health inspection record shows 38 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, plus seven fines totaling $42,094; the last inspection was October 31, 2024. Resident care measures score well, but that's paperwork versus the floor.
The nurse staffing number here is the first thing I'd look at. At 3.43 hours per resident day, it runs about 11% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 9% below the home's own weekday level, so coverage is thinnest when families tend to visit. Annual turnover of 67.3% sits well above the 45.8% national figure, which means the people caring for your relative are often new to the building. Inspections tell a similar story: 32 deficiencies on record, including one at the harm level and four tied to abuse, plus a $183,316 fine. The last inspection was September 2023, so that record has had time to age without a fresh look.
Rae Ann Suburban runs 95 beds in Westlake under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing numbers are the first thing you'd notice. At 3.39 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 12% under the national average, and weekends drop another 14% below its own weekdays, so the coverage your family member gets on a Saturday looks different from a Tuesday. Annual turnover of 75% is well above the 45.8% national figure, meaning familiar faces cycle out fast. Its health inspection rating is 1 out of 5, with 37 deficiencies on record, including one at the harm level and three tied to abuse; a $10,065 fine was levied, and the last inspection was June 2025.
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.
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.
Altercare Zanesville runs 99 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and the staffing numbers are the first thing to notice. At 3.65 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 6% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 11% below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Staff turnover is 51.3% against a 45.8% national average, meaning more than half the nursing staff leaves each year. The inspection record is heavy: 48 deficiencies, four at harm or jeopardy level, two tied to abuse, and $198,156 in fines. The most recent inspection was May 2025.
Harvard Gardens runs on 3.09 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly a fifth below the national average, and weekends dip about 8 percent below its own weekday staffing. That thin coverage sits behind a one-star staffing rating and a one-star health inspection rating, with 73 deficiencies on the current record: three at harm or jeopardy level and eight tied to abuse. Six fines add up to $194,149. The five-star quality measure score looks strong on paper, but it's built in part on data the short staffing itself helps generate. Ownership is a for-profit partnership, and the most recent inspection was March 3, 2026. The quality number and the staffing number don't tell the same story.
The Gardens of Fairfax runs on thin staffing. At 3.71 nurse hours per resident day, it sits just under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 17% below its own weekday levels, meaning the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Turnover tells the harder story: 68.8% of staff leave each year, well above the 45.8% national figure, so the people caring for residents keep changing.
The inspection record is heavy, 47 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and seven tied to abuse, plus 24 fines totaling $145,170. The most recent inspection was in February 2026, so the record is current. Corporate ownership is a for-profit limited liability company.
If you're weighing Beachwood Pointe for someone you love, the staffing numbers deserve your full attention. Nurses provide about 3.08 hours of care per resident each day, roughly a fifth below the national average of 3.86, and weekends run about 7 percent thinner than weekdays. That thin coverage sits alongside a 67.8 percent annual turnover rate, well above the 45.8 percent national figure, meaning the people providing care are constantly changing. Inspectors have cited 46 deficiencies, three tied to abuse, and the last visit was July 2024. The resident outcome scores look better than the staffing picture, but the two don't cancel each other out.
Majestic Care of Middletown runs 200 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits about 11% under the national average at 3.43 nurse hours per resident day. Weekends drop roughly another 12% below its own weekday coverage, which is when falls and infections tend to get missed. Turnover, at 45.3%, is essentially the national rate. What separates this home is its inspection record: 60 deficiencies, including 7 tied to abuse and 2 at harm or jeopardy level, plus a $108,164 fine. The most recent inspection was June 2025. CMS rates its staffing and health inspections 1 out of 5 stars each.
Galion Meadows runs on 3.44 nurse hours per resident day, about 11% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly another 10% below its own weekday pace. That thin coverage sits alongside 66% annual staff turnover, well above the 45.8% national figure, meaning the people caring for residents are, on average, fairly new to the building and often replaced. Its record shows 71 deficiencies, including six tied to abuse and two serious enough to put residents in harm's way; the most recent inspection was in May 2026. For-profit ownership under an LLC, 62 beds, and a one-star inspection history round out a home where the quality measures look far better than the day-to-day staffing does.
Best Care Health and Rehabilitation runs 101 certified beds in Wheelersburg under corporate for-profit ownership, and the staffing numbers are where I'd start. At 3.51 nurse hours per resident day, it sits roughly 9% under the national average, and weekends dip about 9% below its own weekday level, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Staff turnover is 56% against a national 45.8%, meaning more than half the nursing staff leaves within a year. The record shows 43 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, with no abuse citations. Its last inspection was October 2024, and the health inspection and staffing ratings both came back at 2 out of 5.
Aventura At West Park runs on thin staffing: 3.69 nurse hours per resident day sits about 4% under the national average, weekends drop roughly 9% below its own weekday levels, and annual turnover hits 68.8% against a national norm of 45.8%. That churn matters more than any single inspection finding. The record backs it up, 41 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy, seven tied to abuse, and a $16,801 fine, with the last inspection in April 2024. Corporate for-profit ownership, 125 beds, and a CMS staffing rating of 1 out of 5. What the quality measure score of 4 out of 5 reflects is the clinical data the home reports on its own residents; it doesn't offset what inspectors found or how fast the staff turns over. Ask about direct-care staffing on weekends before you decide anything.
Astoria Place Of Waterville runs 90 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and the staffing numbers are the first thing to look at. At 3.29 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 15% under the national average of 3.86, weekends drop roughly another 10% below its own weekday level, and turnover hits 47.6%. The inspection record is heavier: 48 deficiencies, including five at the harm or jeopardy level and five tied to abuse, with three fines totaling $59,889 and a 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating. Quality measures score well, but that reflects charted care, not the staffing and oversight under it.
Hawthorn Glen runs about 3.14 nursing hours per resident per day, roughly 19% under the national average, and weekends drop another 7% below its own weekday levels. Staff turnover sits at 66.2% against a national 45.8%, nearly two-thirds of the nursing staff leaving in a year. The current record shows 37 deficiencies, two tied to abuse, though none reached the harm or jeopardy level. The most recent inspection was July 31, 2025, so the picture is current. Ownership is a for-profit corporation, and the staffing star comes in at 1 out of 5 while quality measures score 4, a split worth asking about directly.
Ridgewood Manor runs about 3.32 nurse staffing hours per resident day, roughly 14% under the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage drops another 14% below its own weekday levels. Annual turnover sits at 71.2%, well above the 45.8% national figure, which means the aides and nurses caring for your relative are likely to change often. The inspection record shows 39 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse, with $87,789 in fines across two penalties. Quality measures look strong on paper, but staffing is where this home falls short, and that gap is what matters day to day.
Harmar Place in Marietta runs 86 certified beds as a nonprofit, and the numbers raise real questions. Nurse staffing sits at 3.67 hours per resident day, below the national average, and it drops another 12% on weekends, so care gets thinnest exactly when families tend to visit. Staff turnover of 56.1% means more than half the nursing workforce leaves each year, well above the national rate, and that churn shows in the record: 58 deficiencies, including 7 at the harm or jeopardy level and 3 tied to abuse, with two fines totaling $202,275. A recent March 2025 inspection and a 1-star health inspection rating don't offset the 4-star quality measure score.
