The Pines Healthcare Center runs on thinner nursing coverage than most homes, 3.36 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends get leaner still, dropping about 11% below its own weekday level. Its inspection record tells a more reassuring story: a 4-out-of-5 star rating, last surveyed in May 2025, with 22 deficiencies on file, none of them at the harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related. Staff turnover of 37.7% is actually better than the 45.8% national figure, which suggests workers stay put more than is typical. Quality measures score 5 out of 5. The tension here is real: strong outcomes and inspection results, but staffing is the weak spot.

Salem North Healthcare Center runs 86 certified beds under corporate ownership, and its staffing tells the clearest story here: 3.18 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends running about 12% thinner than weekdays. That's roughly 18% less direct nursing time than the typical home, which is why CMS gives it 2 out of 5 stars on staffing even though its quality measure score is perfect and its inspection rating sits at 3. Turnover of 38.2% actually beats the national 45.8%, so the problem isn't retention so much as how few hours are scheduled in the first place. The record shows 21 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, plus a $23,163 fine; the most recent inspection was February 12, 2026.

Maplewood runs about 3.47 nurse staffing hours per resident day, roughly ten percent under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop another twelve percent below its own weekday level. That thin margin matters more when turnover sits at 62.3 percent against a national 45.8 percent, nearly two-thirds of the nursing staff cycling out in a year, so the people caring for your relative are often new to the building. The inspection record shows 40 deficiencies, including six tied to abuse and one serious enough to risk harm or jeopardy; the last state survey was January 14, 2026. A single fine of $7,443 is modest, and the five-star quality measure rating suggests charted care metrics look good, but those measures reflect documentation more than day-to-day floor coverage.

Wedgewood Healthcare Center runs 124 certified beds in Clarksville under corporate for-profit ownership, and the staffing picture is the number that stands out: 3.36 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 13% under the national average, with weekend coverage dipping about 8% below its own weekday levels. The 1-out-of-5 staffing rating reflects that, and 50% annual turnover means the aides and nurses caring for residents change often. The record shows 32 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, though that last inspection was recent, September 2025, and the quality measure score of 4 out of 5 suggests clinical outcomes have held up better than the staffing numbers would predict.

The Colony Healthcare Center is a 117-bed for-profit operation in Tallmadge, and its numbers point in two directions at once. On the clinical side, residents are getting care that federal quality measures rate at the top of the scale, and the home was inspected as recently as August 2025. But staffing sits at 3.25 hours per resident day, roughly 16% under the national average, and weekends run about 10% thinner than weekdays, when families are most likely to visit. Annual turnover of 52.2% outpaces the national rate, and 49 deficiencies on record include one tied to abuse. A 2-star inspection rating alongside a 5-star quality score is a tension worth asking about directly.

Austintown Healthcare Center runs 89 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its inspection record is genuinely strong, 20 deficiencies on file with none at the harm or jeopardy level, plus a 4-out-of-5 health inspection rating and a perfect 5 on quality measures. Staffing is where the picture shifts: 3.27 nurse hours per resident day sits roughly 15% under the national average of 3.86, weekends run about 8% lighter than weekdays, and 57.6% annual turnover means more than half the nursing staff leaves each year, against a national rate of 45.8%. One abuse-related deficiency also appears on the current record.

Copley Health Center runs 130 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.31 hours per resident day, roughly 14% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 10% below the home's own weekday level, so coverage thins when families tend to visit. Turnover lands at 45.7%, essentially matching the national rate, meaning the churn problem here isn't unusual but it isn't solved either. The inspection record carries 30 deficiencies, three of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, plus one fine of $36,559. Federal quality measures score well, but the last inspection was March 2026, and the staffing and deficiency numbers are what pull the overall picture down.

Parkview Northwest runs on 3.22 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 17% under the national average, and weekends dip about 7% below its own weekday staffing. That thin coverage sits behind 36 deficiencies on the current record, including two at the harm level and three tied to abuse, plus $45,503 in fines across two penalties. Turnover is the one bright spot: 35.9% against a national 45.8%, meaning aides tend to stay. The last inspection was September 2024, and the quality measure score is strong, but with corporate ownership and below-average staffing, the inspection history carries more weight than the five-star quality number.

River Oaks runs 3.29 nurse hours per resident day, about 15% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly another 10% below its own weekday coverage. Staff turnover sits at 52.9%, well above the 45.8% national figure, so the people providing that care are changing faster than usual. The health inspection record is the harder number to get past: 79 deficiencies, one abuse-related, and a 1-star inspection rating from CMS, though nothing on the current record rises to harm or jeopardy. The 5-star quality measure score reflects resident assessment data, not the staffing or inspection picture. The last inspection was December 2024. For-profit, limited liability ownership. Worth asking how they hold weekend coverage and what that abuse citation involved before deciding.

Madeira Healthcare Center runs on thinner nursing coverage than most homes, 3.58 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends get leaner still, dropping about 9% below its own weekday staffing. Staff turnover sits at 57.7% while the national figure is 45.8%, so a large share of caregivers are relatively new to the building. The inspection record shows 34 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, and a $16,801 fine, though the last full inspection was in March 2025 and nothing on the record involves abuse. Quality measures score well federally; staffing and inspection results don't follow. For-profit corporate ownership. Ask about weekend coverage and how long direct-care staff tend to stay.

Kingwood Healthcare Center runs on thinner staffing than most homes its size, about 3.21 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly another 12% below its own weekday levels. That 2-out-of-5 staffing rating reflects it. The inspection record is different: 38 deficiencies, but none at harm or jeopardy level, and a 4-out-of-5 health inspection rating, with the last survey in May 2026. Staff turnover of 45.1% sits right at the national average, so retention isn't the outlier here, hours per resident are. Corporate for-profit ownership, 120 beds. Worth asking how they cover a weekend shift before you decide.

Hawthorne Healthcare Center runs 88 certified beds on Indianapolis's east side, under for-profit corporate ownership. Nurse staffing sits at 3.31 hours per resident day, roughly 14 percent under the national average, and weekends dip about 4 percent below its own weekday levels, so coverage is thinnest exactly when families tend to visit. Annual turnover of 55.7 percent means more than half the nursing staff leaves each year, against a national rate near 46 percent. The current inspection record carries 27 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse. Federal quality measures look strong at 5 stars, but staffing scores 2, and the most recent inspection was in December 2025.

Crestwood Care Center runs 130 beds in Shelby under corporate for-profit ownership, and its inspection record is the part that should worry you most: 62 deficiencies on the current record, including four at the harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse. Two fines totaling $232,204 back that up. Nurse staffing sits at 3.31 hours per resident day, about 14% under the national average, and weekends run roughly 5% thinner than weekdays. The one genuine bright spot is turnover, 38.8% against a national 45.8%, so staff tend to stay, even if there aren't enough of them. Quality measures look strong on paper, but a February 2025 inspection and that deficiency count tell the more reliable story.

Bridgeport Health Care Center, a for-profit home with 99 certified beds in Portsmouth, has a staffing problem hiding behind strong marks elsewhere. Nurses provide 3.36 hours per resident day, roughly 13% under the national average, and weekends dip another 13% below the home's own weekday coverage, meaning the thinnest shifts land when families visit and when backup is hardest to find. Annual turnover of 58.5% sits well above the 45.8% national figure, so residents cycle through a lot of unfamiliar faces. The inspection record shows 27 deficiencies, two serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, though none involved abuse, and the most recent inspection was in August 2025.

Columbus Healthcare Center runs 100 certified beds under corporate ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.33 hours per resident day, roughly 14% under the national average of 3.86, with weekend coverage dipping another 6% below its own weekday levels. The inspection record is where the real trouble shows: 68 deficiencies on file, six of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, plus three fines totaling $121,205. Staff turnover at 44.1% actually lands slightly below the national figure, so retention isn't the outlier here; the survey history is. A recent inspection date of March 2026 means the record is current, not stale, and the quality measure score of 5/5 sits oddly beside a 1/5 inspection rating.

Wood Glen runs on thin staffing. At 3.16 nurse hours per resident day, it sits roughly 18 percent below the national average, weekends dip about 8 percent below its own weekday levels, and more than half the nursing staff turns over each year, 52.1 percent against a national 45.8 percent. That combination matters more than usual here, because this is a dementia unit, where consistent caregivers and steady attention are the whole job. The inspection record carries 29 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and three tied to abuse. A recent April 2026 inspection is a point in its favor, and the quality measure score is strong, but those measures lean on self-reported data that a 1-out-of-5 staffing rating doesn't support.

Riverside Nursing and Rehabilitation Center is a 180-bed for-profit home in Dayton, and the numbers split in two directions. The care side looks good on paper: a 5/5 quality measure rating and staff turnover at 32%, well below the 45.8% national average, suggest people tend to stay. But staffing sits at 3.18 nurse hours per resident day, about 18% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends run roughly 6% thinner than weekdays. The inspection record is where it gets harder to explain: 47 deficiencies, three at harm or jeopardy level, four tied to abuse, and $125,180 in fines, with a 1/5 inspection rating from a September 2025 visit.

Annandale Healthcare Center runs 222 certified beds under corporate ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.31 hours per resident day, roughly 14 percent under the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage drops another 10 percent below its own weekday levels, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. Turnover is the one bright spot: 24.1 percent against a national 45.8 percent means aides and nurses here tend to stay. But the inspection record is the real story, 61 deficiencies, two at harm or jeopardy level, three tied to abuse, and a $90,896 fine, with the most recent inspection in October 2024. That combination of light staffing and a heavy enforcement history is what drives the grade down.

Hanover Healthcare Center runs 125 beds in Massillon under corporate ownership, and the numbers tell a split story. Nurse staffing sits at 3.24 hours per resident day, roughly 16 percent under the national average, and weekends drop about 12 percent below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. The inspection record is the bigger concern: 57 deficiencies, four serious enough to put residents in harm's way, nine tied to abuse, and $84,143 in fines, with a one-star health inspection rating to match. Staff turnover at 51 percent runs above the national 45.8 percent, which means caregivers cycle through faster than residents can get to know them.

Its health inspection rating is 1 out of 5, with 63 deficiencies on record, none at harm level but two tied to abuse. The quality measure rating of 4 suggests some clinical metrics look fine, but a recent April 2025 inspection and thin, churning staff tell the more relevant story.

Grande Pointe runs 3.27 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 15% under the national average, and weekends drop about 11% below its own weekday numbers, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. The inspection record is the bigger concern: 33 deficiencies, three at harm or jeopardy level, five tied to abuse, and $137,255 in fines across three penalties. Staff turnover, at 44.2%, is actually a touch better than average, so the problem isn't retention so much as how few hands are on deck. Cuyahoga County families comparing homes should weigh that inspection history and weekend staffing gap carefully before deciding.

Mercer Healthcare Center runs leaner on nurse staffing than most homes, 3.56 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends get thinner still, dropping about 13% below what the building manages Monday through Friday. The inspection record is where the real weight sits: 80 deficiencies, two of them serious enough to trigger harm or jeopardy findings, plus seven tied to abuse. State surveyors were last in the building in January 2025, and CMS has levied two fines totaling $28,060. Staff turnover, at 44.5%, is roughly in line with the national figure, so that's not the story here. The pattern that matters is a for-profit corporate home with a long, recent record of cited problems and below-average hands-on care.

Weekends drop about 13% below the home's own weekday level, and annual turnover hits 54.2% against a national 45.8%, so the aides and nurses your family would see most are cycling through faster than average. The inspection record carries 40 deficiencies, including two at harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, with two fines totaling $46,232. CMS rated the quality measures 5 out of 5, which stands out against a 2-out-of-5 inspection rating, worth asking about directly.

E.a. Hawse Healthcare Center runs on thinner staffing than most homes its size. At 3.46 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 10% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 14% below what the home itself staffs on weekdays, so the coverage your family sees on a Tuesday isn't what shows up on a Sunday. Turnover is the bigger signal: nearly 70% of staff leave each year, against a national rate near 46%. That churn means unfamiliar faces, and it's likely why CMS rates staffing 2 out of 5 despite a 4 out of 5 on health inspections and 21 deficiencies on record, none at harm or jeopardy level. Ownership is for-profit corporate.

Hillcrest runs leaner on nursing hours than most homes in the country, 3.15 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends get thinner still, dropping about 16% below the home's own weekday coverage. That thin weekend staffing matters more than the raw average, because that's when families tend to visit and when problems surface. On the other hand, turnover here is unusually low at 25.7%, well under the national 45.8%, which suggests a steadier crew than most. The inspection record is mixed: a solid four-star history, but 21 deficiencies on file, two serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and $25,623 in fines.

The inspection record is the harder read: 54 deficiencies, two at harm or jeopardy level, one abuse-related, and a $26,685 fine, with the most recent inspection in October 2025.

Indian Creek Healthcare Center runs 135 certified beds in Corydon under nonprofit ownership, and the staffing numbers are the first thing worth noticing. At 3.38 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 13 percent under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 11 percent below its own weekday coverage. Turnover is genuinely better than most, at 35.8 percent against a national 45.8 percent, so the people who stay seem to stay. The tradeoff shows up in oversight: ten deficiencies on the current record, three tied to abuse, no harm-level findings, and a health inspection rating of 2 out of 5. Quality measures score 5, staffing 2. Ask about weekend coverage and how the abuse deficiencies were resolved before deciding.
