Judson Park Health Center runs on unusually deep staffing for a 96-bed nonprofit: 4.60 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 19 percent above the national average, with weekend coverage dipping only about 10 percent below its own weekday level. Turnover sits at 21.1 percent against a national 45.8 percent, so the people caring for residents tend to stay. The tradeoff shows up in its inspection history, 57 deficiencies on record, three tied to abuse, though none at the harm or jeopardy level, and the most recent inspection was August 2025, so the picture is current. Quality and staffing measures both rate at the top of CMS's scale, while health inspections land mid-range.

Wesley Homes Des Moines Health Center runs on noticeably more nursing hours than most homes, 4.79 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and its staff tends to stay, with turnover at 30.8% compared to 45.8% nationally. Weekend coverage dips about 11% below its own weekday level, so ask how that plays out on a Sunday. The inspection record shows 52 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, though three are abuse-related and worth asking about directly. A February 2026 inspection means the record is recent, and as a church-affiliated nonprofit, there's no ownership chain pulling profits out. The quality measures come in strong.

Staffing at Puget Sound Transitional Care lands right at the national average, 3.85 nurse hours per resident day against 3.86, and turnover of 32.4% is meaningfully better than the 45.8% typical elsewhere. The problem isn't the workforce. It's the inspection record: 63 deficiencies, including one at the level that signals actual harm or jeopardy and three tied to abuse. A one-star health inspection rating alongside a four-star quality measure score tells you the day-to-day care metrics look fine on paper, but the state has found serious problems when it looks closely, most recently in August 2025. Weekend staffing also drops about 12% below weekday levels, so if you're touring, ask who's actually on the floor on a Saturday.
