Barnes-Kasson County Hospital runs a 58-bed nonprofit unit in Susquehanna, and its nurse staffing comes in around 4.27 hours per resident day, roughly 11% above the national average, with weekend coverage about 12% below its own weekday level. Staff turnover sits at 37%, better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for consistency of care. The tradeoffs show up elsewhere: 22 deficiencies on the current record, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, a 3/5 inspection rating, and a 1/5 on quality measures despite the 4/5 staffing score. The last inspection was January 16, 2025, so the record is recent.

Meadow View runs 3.14 nursing hours per resident per day, about 19 percent under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly another 10 percent below its own weekday staffing. That thin coverage sits behind a 2-out-of-5 CMS staffing rating and 60 percent annual turnover, well above the 45.8 percent national figure, so the aide or nurse your family sees most weeks may not be there long. The current record shows 31 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and three abuse-related, with a single $105,587 fine. A September 2025 inspection is recent enough to trust the picture, though a 4-out-of-5 quality measure rating suggests some care processes work despite the staffing strain.

Forest City Nursing and Rehab Center is a 132-bed for-profit home in Susquehanna County, and the numbers point to staffing strain. At 3.21 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 17% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip roughly 10% below its own weekday levels, meaning the thinnest coverage comes when families tend to visit. That staffing shortfall shows up in the inspection record too: 19 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, plus a $21,405 fine. The most recent inspection was February 2025, so the picture is current. There's no abuse finding on file, which matters. But with both staffing and quality measures at the bottom of CMS's scale, this is a home worth asking hard questions about before committing.
