Life Care Center of Cleveland runs 142 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.73 nurse hours per resident day, about 3% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop roughly 15% below its own weekday coverage, so if you're planning visits or checking in on care, that gap is worth knowing about. The good news on retention: turnover here is 32.9%, well below the 45.8% national figure, which suggests a steadier crew than many homes manage. State inspectors logged 16 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in December 2025.

Life Care Center of Stonegate runs 120 beds in Parker under corporate for-profit ownership, and the staffing math is genuinely better than most: 4.78 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 12% below weekdays, so coverage thins out when families tend to visit. The tradeoffs show up elsewhere. Staff turnover sits at 57%, well above the 45.8% national figure, and 19 deficiencies on record include two at harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse. A single fine of $17,342 has been levied, and the last inspection was October 2024. Strong quality measure scores and low staffing stars don't cancel out a two-star inspection record.

Parkview Care Center in Evansville runs 3.60 nursing hours per resident per day, about 7% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip roughly 10% below its own weekday staffing. The corporate-owned, 99-bed home does hold turnover to 40.2%, better than the 45.8% national figure. Its health inspection rating sits at 2 out of 5 with 27 deficiencies on record, none flagged at harm or jeopardy level, and none abuse-related, while quality measures score 5 out of 5. Inspectors were last on site December 11, 2025. The staffing shortfall and inspection history are the real story; the quality and turnover numbers are what keep it from being worse.

Life Care Center of Rochester runs on county government ownership, and its current record includes 33 deficiencies, four tied to abuse, though none rose to the harm or jeopardy level. Nurse staffing sits at 3.66 hours per resident day, roughly 5% under the national average, with weekends running about 12% thinner than weekdays. Annual turnover is 50.9%, above the 45.8% national figure, so the people showing up are often still learning the building. The 5/5 quality measure rating and a September 2025 inspection are the counterweights, but a 2/5 on health inspections tells you what surveyors have repeatedly found. Ask about staff retention and how weekends are covered before deciding.

Westside Retirement Village runs 132 certified beds in Indianapolis under corporate for-profit ownership, and its inspection record is the number that should give you pause: 73 deficiencies on file, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and six tied to abuse. CMS gave it a single star for health inspections, and the last full look came in March 2026. Staffing sits at 3.72 nurse hours per resident day, about 4% under the national average, and weekends run roughly 12% thinner than weekdays. Turnover of 40.3% is actually better than the 45.8% national figure, and the quality measure score is strong, but those survey findings are hard to look past.

Parkview runs 228 beds in Paducah under corporate for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.65 hours per resident day, about 6% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends get thinner still, roughly 14% below the home's own weekday coverage, which matters most when families visit and when problems tend to surface. Turnover is the brighter spot: 37.4% against a national 45.8%, meaning caregivers stick around longer here than at the typical home. The inspection record shows 12 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with one fine of $5,519 and a recent April 2026 survey. Quality measures score well; staffing and inspections land mid-range.

The Oaks runs 122 beds in New Bedford under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.66 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 5% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 10% below its own weekday coverage, so your visit timing matters. What stands out is turnover at 28.7%, well under the national 45.8%, which suggests a steadier crew than most. Fourteen deficiencies are on record, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in March 2026. Federal ratings put health inspections and quality measures at 4 of 5 stars each, staffing at 3.

Weekends dip about 13% below the home's own weekday coverage, so the quietest shifts get the thinnest numbers. What stands out favorably is turnover: 24.3% against a national average of 45.8%, which suggests a steadier crew than most. The record shows 18 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the last inspection dated March 2026. Staffing and quality measures both earned 4 stars from CMS; staffing landed at 3.

Life Care Center of Elyria runs about 3.84 nurse hours per resident per day, a hair under the national average, and weekends dip roughly 13% below its own weekday coverage, so the staffing number to ask about is who's actually on the floor on Saturdays and Sundays. Turnover sits at 34.7%, well below the 45.8% national figure, which suggests a steadier crew than most. The inspection record is clean where it counts: 22 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related, with the last inspection in April 2023. Family-owned for-profit, 99 beds, strong quality measures. What I'd want to know: how recent is that inspection really, and what does a weekend afternoon look like?

Life Care Center of Lewiston runs 121 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and the numbers tell a mixed story. Inspections are a genuine strength, a five-star health inspection rating, zero deficiencies at the harm or jeopardy level, no abuse citations, and a recent survey from August 2025. Where it slips is staffing: 3.43 nurse hours per resident day sits about 11% under the national average, weekend coverage drops roughly 16% below its own weekday level, and annual turnover of 50.6% runs above the 45.8% national figure. Strong quality measures and a clean inspection record count for a lot, but thin weekend staffing matters most exactly when families can't easily visit and check.

Life Care Center of Post Falls runs about 4.18 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 8% above the national average, and its last inspection in August 2025 came back clean on the serious stuff, 12 deficiencies on record, none causing harm or jeopardy, none tied to abuse. That 5-star inspection rating is earned. The softer spots are staffing consistency and retention: weekend coverage drops about 18% below weekday levels, and 51.5% of staff turn over in a year against a national 45.8%. This is a for-profit LLC with 120 beds. Solid care on paper, but ask how weekends and evenings actually run.

Life Care Center of Skagit Valley runs 4.20 nursing hours per resident day, about 9% above the national average, and its staff turnover of 39.3% is lower than the 45.8% typical elsewhere, both points in its favor. The catch is how thin weekends get: staffing drops roughly 16% below the home's own weekday level, so care may look different depending on when you visit. Inspections tell a mixed story too, 52 deficiencies on the current record, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse, with $86,222 in fines across two cases. A 150-bed corporate-owned home that scores well on quality measures but carries a heavy inspection record.

Heritage Park Care Center runs 90 certified beds in Carbondale under corporate for-profit ownership, and its inspection record is the part that should give you pause: 30 deficiencies on the current record, three of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, plus three abuse-related citations, and one fine totaling $25,990. The most recent inspection was August 2024, so that picture is fairly current. Staffing sits at 3.66 nurse hours per resident day, about 5% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 13% below the home's own weekday levels. Turnover at 43.6% is slightly better than the 45.8% national figure, but it's still nearly half the nursing staff leaving in a year.

Life Care Center of Kona runs a for-profit operation with 94 certified beds and a mixed record. Nurse staffing sits at 3.77 hours per resident day, slightly below the national average, and weekend coverage drops about 13% from weekday levels, worth asking about if your family visits mainly on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover is 38.5%, which is actually better than the national average of 45.8%, so the team here may be more stable than at many homes. The bigger concern is the inspection history: 44 deficiencies on record, including 2 at the harm or jeopardy level and 3 related to abuse, with a $27,612 fine and a 2-out-of-5 health inspection rating. The most recent inspection was September 2024.

Weekends dip roughly 9% below its own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts come when families are most likely to visit. State inspectors logged 29 deficiencies on the current record, five of them abuse-related, with no harm-level findings, and the last full inspection was March 2025. Staff turnover of 44.4% is roughly in line with the national 45.8%, while the 2/5 inspection rating reflects that citation history.

Life Care Center Of Fort Wayne runs on thinner staffing than most homes its size. At 3.58 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 7% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 11% below its own weekday coverage. Annual turnover of 54.4% tops the national 45.8% by a wide margin, which means the people showing up on Saturday may not be the ones who knew your mother last month. The inspection record is a different story: seven deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, no abuse findings, and a survey completed in March 2026. Corporate-owned and Medicare-certified for 115 beds, it earns strong marks on quality measures while asking its nurses to do more with less.

Life Care Center of Columbia sits right at the national average for nurse staffing, 3.88 hours per resident day against 3.86, close enough that the difference means nothing. What does stand out is the 51.3% annual turnover, well above the typical 45.8%, and weekend staffing that drops about 12% below the home's own weekday levels, so the people around your family member change often and thin out on Saturdays and Sundays. Seven deficiencies sit on the current record, three serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy. The last full inspection was December 2021, which is a long time ago.

Life Care Center Of Hixson runs 108 certified beds under corporate ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.17 hours per resident day, roughly 8% above the national average of 3.86. That's real coverage on paper, though weekends drop about 13% below the home's own weekday level, so the weekday numbers don't tell the whole story. Staff turnover lands at 44%, a hair under the 45.8% national figure, which is neither a red flag nor a bragging point. The bigger issue is the inspection record: a 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating, 8 deficiencies with 1 at the harm or jeopardy level, and no abuse citations. The most recent inspection was May 2026. Quality and staffing measures each rate 3 out of 5.

Staff turnover sits at 51.5%, higher than the 45.8% national figure. The inspection history is mixed: a recent February 2025 survey, a 4-star health inspection rating, and strong quality measures, but 10 deficiencies on record, including one at the harm level and one tied to abuse.

Weekend coverage dips about 10% below its own weekday levels, and staff turnover lands at 45.5%, essentially matching the national rate. The 22 deficiencies on its current record are what hold it back: three at harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse. One fine totaling $34,405 is on file, and the last inspection was February 2026. Quality measures score well, but the inspection history and those abuse-related findings are the part worth asking about directly.

Life Care Center of Brookfield runs about 3.63 nursing hours per resident day, roughly 6% under the national average, and weekends dip another 16% below its own weekday coverage. That gap matters more than the headline number, since care doesn't pause on Saturdays. The inspection record is the real concern: 40 deficiencies on file, eight of them serious enough to put residents at harm or jeopardy, and four tied to abuse. One fine totaling $45,159. Staff turnover sits at 43%, slightly better than the 45.8% national figure, and the quality measures look strong on paper. But a one-star inspection rating with recent findings from December 2024 is what a family should weigh hardest here.

The catch is weekends, when hours drop about 18% below the home's own weekday level. On inspections, CMS rated it 4 of 5 stars, though the record shows 29 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and three tied to abuse, plus a single fine of $17,388.

Life Care Center of Scottsdale runs 132 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.98 hours per resident day, modestly above the national average of 3.86. That edge narrows on weekends, when coverage drops roughly 14% below the home's own weekday level. Staff turnover is the bigger concern at 61.3%, well above the national 45.8%, which matters for residents who rely on consistent caregivers. The inspection record shows 15 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, though none tied to abuse, and a single fine of $6,414. A recent August 2025 inspection and strong quality measure scores offset some of that, but the turnover number is the one worth asking about directly.

Turnover is genuinely better than average at 33.3%, so the people who stay tend to stay. The trouble is the inspection record. A one-star health inspection rating sits behind 39 deficiencies, including 8 tied to abuse and 2 serious enough to put residents in harm's way, plus a $26,397 fine. The most recent inspection was December 8, 2025. Good staffing numbers and a strong quality measure score don't offset that pattern, ask hard questions about supervision and how incidents get reported.

That's a real cushion, though weekends drop about 11% below the home's own weekday level, so coverage isn't even across the week. Annual turnover of 56.8% tops the national 45.8%, which means many of the people providing that care are still learning the building. The current record shows 32 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, but three tied to abuse.

Total nurse hours sit at 3.75 per resident day, a bit under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 13% below what the home staffs on weekdays, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit and when fewer administrators are around. What offsets that is unusually low turnover at 24.2%, well under the national figure, which suggests the aides and nurses who are there tend to stay. The inspection record is clean where it counts: six deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related, with a recent survey in December 2025.
