Pelican Pointe runs 3.74 nurse hours per resident day, a bit under the 3.86 national average, and weekends drop about 15% below its own weekday staffing. That gap matters more than the small overall shortfall, because weekends are when problems tend to surface. Annual turnover sits at 61.7% against a national 45.8%, so nearly two-thirds of the nursing staff leaves each year, that's a lot of retraining and unfamiliar faces.
The inspection record is cleaner than those numbers suggest: 21 deficiencies on file, none at the harm level, though two are abuse-related. State inspectors were last in on October 1, 2025, and the home scores well on inspections and quality measures. The weak spot sits squarely with staffing.

Southwind runs about 3.73 nursing hours per resident day, a bit under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 20% below what the home staffs on weekdays, that's when families tend to visit and when problems often surface. Turnover sits at 39.4%, better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for consistency of care. The inspection record is the harder read: 29 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse, with the most recent survey in September 2025. Quality and staffing measures both come in at 2 out of 5 stars. As a nonprofit, there's no ownership profit motive to weigh, but the numbers themselves carry the story.

The Encore in Crowley runs a nonprofit shop with 73 beds, and its health inspection record is genuinely solid, a 4-out-of-5 star rating from CMS, with the most recent survey in July 2025. What pulls it down is staffing stability. The home reports 4.12 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 7% above the national average, which sounds fine on paper. But turnover sits at 60.8% against a national average of 45.8%, and weekend staffing dips about 14% below its own weekday level. Twenty-eight deficiencies are on the current record, none at harm or jeopardy level, though two are abuse-related, worth asking about directly.

Eastridge runs on leaner staffing than most homes its size, 3.57 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends dropping about 14% below its own weekday levels. The bigger concern is turnover: 63.6% of staff leave each year, well above the 45.8% national figure, and that churn shows up in a one-star staffing rating. Inspections are a different story. The most recent visit was December 2025, the health inspection rating sits at 4 of 5, and none of the 19 deficiencies on record rose to harm or jeopardy. One was abuse-related, which is worth asking about directly. Quality measures land at 2 of 5.

The Broadway Nursing and Rehabilitation Center runs 126 certified beds as a nonprofit corporation in Lockport, and its staffing sits at 3.74 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 3% under the national average, with weekends about 16% thinner than weekdays. The inspection record is the bigger concern: 23 deficiencies currently on file, two of them at the harm or jeopardy level and two abuse-related, plus two fines totaling $29,126. Staff turnover at 44.7% is essentially at the national average, so retention isn't the outlier here. The quality measure rating of 1 out of 5 is where the clinical picture looks weakest, and that's separate from the staffing and inspection scores.
