Oakview Terrace runs on 4.44 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 15% above the national average, and its staff turnover sits at 23.4%, about half the national rate of 45.8%. That kind of retention matters more than any single inspection score, because consistent caregivers notice changes in residents sooner. The trade-off shows up in the inspection history: 11 deficiencies on record, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, plus a $10,839 fine. Weekend staffing also dips about 9% below its own weekday level, so coverage isn't perfectly even across the week. The most recent state visit was June 26, 2025, so the picture is current. Strong staffing and quality numbers, with real inspection problems worth asking about directly.

Menno-Olivet runs on a nonprofit model with 41 certified beds, and the staffing numbers stand out: 4.40 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 14% above the national average, with a 5/5 staffing rating to match. Weekend coverage dips about 9% below its own weekday level, which is worth asking about if your family visits on Saturdays or Sundays. Staff turnover sits at 35.7%, better than the 45.8% national figure, so the people caring for residents tend to stick around. The inspection record is strong, a 5/5 rating with six deficiencies total, though one reached harm or jeopardy level. The weaker spot is quality measures at 2/5, so ask what specifically drives that score.

Avera Bormann Manor runs a five-star staffing rating, and its 42.6% turnover is actually a bit better than the national average. But the 3.63 nurse hours per resident day sit about 6% under the national figure, and weekends drop roughly 18% below the home's own weekday coverage, so the hands on deck thin out right when families tend to visit. The inspection record is where the concern sharpens: 15 deficiencies, four at harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, plus four fines totaling $47,187. A one-star quality measure rating alongside a three-star inspection rating suggests the clinical picture doesn't match the staffing grade.
