Life Care Center of Columbia runs about 3.46 nursing hours per resident per day, roughly 10 percent under the national average, and weekends drop another 16 percent below its own weekday staffing. That thinner weekend coverage matters most when families visit and when problems tend to surface. Annual turnover sits at 54.8 percent, well above the 45.8 percent national figure, so the people caring for your relative are likely to change often. The current inspection record carries 15 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, on a two-out-of-five health inspection rating. Quality measures score well at four stars, but that reflects care processes, not the inspection findings themselves.

Life Care Center of Blount County runs 120 certified beds under corporate ownership, and its staffing sits slightly under the national average, 3.79 nurse hours per resident day against 3.86. That gap is small, but weekends drop about 18% below the home's own weekday coverage, and staff turnover is 51.4%, noticeably above the 45.8% national figure. The inspection record is where the real concern shows: 19 deficiencies, one at harm or jeopardy level, two abuse-related, plus an $8,018 fine, with the most recent inspection in December 2024. Quality measures score well, but strong clinical numbers don't cancel out a thin weekend shift or a harm-level finding. Worth asking about directly before deciding.

Life Care Center of Westminster runs about 120 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits essentially at the national average, 3.87 hours per resident day against 3.86 nationally. The catch is weekends, when coverage drops roughly 13% below what the building staffs on weekdays, and annual turnover of 52.3% means more than half the nursing staff leaves each year, well above the 45.8% national figure. The inspection record is where the real weight sits: 29 deficiencies, four of them at harm or jeopardy level, three tied to abuse, plus three fines totaling $47,398. The last inspection was May 2025, so that picture is current, not stale. Quality measures score well, but strong chart numbers don't offset harm-level findings or thin weekend coverage.

Life Care Center of Hilliard runs a 120-bed for-profit operation in Nassau County, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.83 hours per resident day, just under the national average, but weekends drop about 12% below its own weekday levels, which is when families tend to visit and notice. Staff turnover is worth a hard look: 55.4% against a national 45.8% means more than half the nursing staff leaves each year, so consistent caregivers are hard to count on. The 12 deficiencies on record include three tied to abuse, though none reached harm or jeopardy level, and the last inspection was April 2026. Quality and staffing marks are solid; the inspection side is where the questions live.

Life Care Center of Orange Park runs 180 certified beds under corporate ownership, and its staffing sits a bit under the national average, 3.72 nurse hours per resident day against 3.86, with weekends about 7% leaner than weekdays. Annual turnover of 46.8% edges just past the national 45.8%, so the people caring for your family member cycle through faster than average. The inspection record is the encouraging part: 8 deficiencies on the current record, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in February 2025. Quality measures score well, but the low staffing rating is what pulls the overall picture down to a solid-if-unspectacular B.

Life Care Center of Farmington runs 144 beds under corporate ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.40 hours per resident per day, roughly 12% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 11% below the home's own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. Turnover is 33%, better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for consistency of care. The current inspection record shows 43 deficiencies, including four at harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, with $108,231 in fines across three penalties. The most recent inspection was May 2025. Ask about weekend coverage and how those abuse-related findings were resolved.

Life Care Center of Banner Elk runs a corporate-owned, 118-bed building where the nursing hours come in light, about 3.18 per resident day against a national average near 3.86, and weekends dip roughly 7% below the home's own weekday coverage. What stands out in the other direction is retention: turnover sits at 17.6%, well under the 45.8% national figure, so the people caring for residents tend to stay. The inspection record is current and clean at the serious end, seven deficiencies, none involving harm or abuse, following an August 2025 survey. Read together, that suggests a stable crew working with thinner daily staffing than most homes.

Life Care Center of Westlake runs a 119-bed for-profit operation where nurse staffing sits at 3.49 hours per resident day, roughly 10 percent under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 12 percent below the home's own weekday coverage. Turnover is the brighter spot: 36.3 percent against a national 45.8 percent. But the inspection record carries 32 deficiencies, six of them abuse-related, and the last full inspection was October 2023, so that count reflects conditions that may or may not have been corrected since. The quality measure rating of 4 out of 5 looks good on paper; the 2 out of 5 on health inspections tells a different story. Ask about weekend coverage specifically, and ask what changed after that 2023 survey.

Life Care Center of Collegedale runs about 3.35 nursing hours per resident each day, roughly 13% under the national average, and weekends are thinner still, about 13% below its own weekday staffing. Turnover sits at 35.8%, better than the 45.8% national figure, so the people who stay tend to stay. The current record shows 8 deficiencies, none involving harm or abuse, and the last inspection was in March 2023. Its quality measure score is perfect while staffing and inspections land in the middle. Read together, that mix suggests a home getting good clinical outcomes from a leaner crew, though the weekend dip is worth asking about directly.

Hallmark Manor runs leaner on nursing hours than the typical U.S. home, about 3.61 per resident day against a national average near 3.86, and weekends get thinner still, roughly 15% below its own weekday coverage. That matters because its inspection record carries 60 deficiencies, including two at the harm level and one tied to abuse, plus a $32,175 fine. The ownership is for-profit corporate, and the most recent inspection was in May 2025. Where this home stands out is turnover: 29.4% versus a national average around 46%, which suggests a steadier crew than most. Quality measures score well even as the inspection picture stays middling, so the honest read is a place with real strengths and real compliance problems sitting side by side.

Rivergate runs a 223-bed for-profit partnership in Riverview, and its inspection record is a mixed bag. The most recent survey in May 2025 found 21 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and five tied to abuse, a combination worth asking about directly before you tour, since abuse deficiencies point to how residents are treated day to day, not just paperwork. Staffing sits at 3.37 nurse hours per resident, about 13 percent under the national average, and weekends run roughly 18 percent thinner than weekdays, so coverage gaps show up when families visit. Turnover at 35 percent is better than the 45.8 percent national figure, which suggests some stability, but the single fine of $8,408 is small next to the deficiency count.

Life Care Center of Kirkland runs 190 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.87 hours per resident day, essentially dead even with the national average, so there's no cushion there. Weekends drop about 21% below weekday coverage, which matters when residents need help on a Saturday. Staff turnover is 50.5% against a 45.8% national rate, and the inspection record shows 61 deficiencies, including 3 at harm or jeopardy level and 11 tied to abuse. Two fines total $53,560. The last inspection was November 2025, so the record is current.

Garden Terrace Healthcare Center of Houston runs 120 beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its staffing is the one clear strength: 4.33 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 12% above the national average. But weekends drop about 17% below its own weekday level, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. The inspection record is the real problem, a 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating, 22 deficiencies with 4 at harm or jeopardy level, and three fines totaling $138,543. Staff turnover sits at 48.9%, above the national 45.8%, meaning nearly half the nursing staff leaves each year. The 5/5 quality measure score reflects resident assessments, not the inspection findings that matter most.

Life Care Center of Longmont runs 187 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.01 hours per resident day, about 4% above the national average of 3.86. That edge narrows on weekends, when coverage drops roughly 11% below the home's own weekday level. Staff turnover is 45.2%, essentially matching the national 45.8%. The current inspection record carries 29 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse, plus one fine of $32,860. The last inspection was March 12, 2026, and CMS gives the home 2 out of 5 stars on health inspections, 5 on quality measures, and 3 on staffing.

Life Care Center of Auburn runs 154 certified beds under a for-profit limited liability company, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.83 hours per resident day, just under the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop roughly 16% below what the home staffs on weekdays, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover is the bright spot: 30.1% against a national 45.8%, meaning aides and nurses here stick around longer than at the typical home. The inspection record is the concern, 36 deficiencies, including two at the harm level and three tied to abuse, plus one fine of $29,738. The most recent inspection was June 2025, so that record is current.

Green Valley Care Center is city/county-owned, which is unusual in Indiana, and its 141 beds run on 3.61 nurse hours per resident day, about 6% under the national average of 3.86, with weekends roughly 10% thinner than weekdays. Turnover sits at 40.8%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure, yet CMS still gives staffing just 2 of 5 stars. The inspection record is the harder part: 21 deficiencies, including one at harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse, from a survey dated January 9, 2026. Quality measures score 5 of 5, so the day-to-day care metrics look strong, but thin weekend coverage plus that deficiency history is what pulls the overall picture down.

Ridgeview Terrace runs leaner than most homes on daily nursing hours, about 3.27 per resident, roughly 15% under the national average, and weekends dip another 12% below its own weekday coverage. What stands out is retention: 23.3% annual turnover is less than half the national rate, so the people showing up are largely the same people, which matters more than raw headcount. The 11 deficiencies on record include one abuse-related citation, though none rose to harm or jeopardy, and the last inspection was recent, in May 2025. Quality measure scores sit at 2 of 5 stars while inspections hold at 4, an unusual split worth asking about directly.

Life Care Center of Sparta runs about 100 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and the numbers tell a mixed story. Nurse staffing sits at 3.77 hours per resident day, slightly under the national average of 3.86, with weekends running roughly 10 percent thinner than weekdays, worth knowing if your visits fall on Saturdays or Sundays. Turnover is 38.6 percent, which is actually better than the national 45.8 percent, so the people who stay tend to stay. The inspection record is the strong point: five deficiencies on file, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in May 2025. The weaker spot is staffing, which CMS rates low.

Life Care Center of Hickory Woods is a for-profit, LLC-owned home with 124 certified beds in Antioch. Its 4.00 nurse staffing hours per resident day sit slightly above the national average of 3.86, but weekends run about 13% thinner than weekdays, and annual turnover of 55.6% is roughly ten points above the national figure of 45.8%. On the clinical side, the numbers are stronger: a 4/5 health inspection rating and 5/5 on quality measures, with 13 deficiencies on record, none at the harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related. The most recent inspection was November 19, 2025. What drags the overall picture down is consistency rather than any single serious failure, steady care when fully staffed, thinner coverage on weekends.

Columbine Manor in Salida runs on thin staffing. At 3.24 nurse hours per resident per day, it sits about 16% below the national average, and weekends drop roughly another 11% below its own weekday level, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. The bigger number is turnover: 71.4% of nursing staff leaving in a year, against a national average of 45.8%. That churn means new faces, repeatedly, at a 112-bed corporate-owned home. What holds it up is oversight: a recent April 2026 inspection, 16 deficiencies on record with none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, plus strong quality and health inspection marks. The care problems here are staffing depth and consistency, not safety violations.

Life Care Center of The Willows is county-owned, with 92 certified beds in Valparaiso. The staffing numbers run thinner than most: 3.45 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 10% below what the home itself staffs on weekdays. Annual turnover sits at 49.3%, a few points above the national figure, so the people caring for residents change often. The health inspection record is where the real weight lands, a 1-out-of-5 star rating, 37 deficiencies on the current record, one tied to abuse, though none rose to the level of actual harm or jeopardy. The most recent inspection was January 27, 2026. Quality measures score well at 4 stars, which tells you the charted clinical care looks better than the building's oversight history.

Hammond-Whiting Care Center runs 80 certified beds in Whiting under for-profit corporate ownership, and the numbers split in two directions. The clinical quality measures hold up reasonably well, but the staffing side is thin: 3.64 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends running about 13 percent below the home's own weekday level. Turnover sits at 49.3 percent, above the national 45.8 percent, so the people covering those shifts keep changing. The inspection record is the harder read. Fifty-five deficiencies are on file, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, and the health inspection rating is 1 out of 5. The most recent inspection was February 11, 2026, recent enough to reflect current conditions. If you're considering this home, ask about weekend coverage and how abuse-related deficiencies were resolved.

Weekends dip about 10 percent below the home's own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. Annual turnover is 47.2 percent, slightly above the national 45.8 percent. On its current record the home carries 23 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse. State inspectors last visited on December 11, 2024, and the health inspection rating came back 3 out of 5.

Life Care Center of Omaha runs 128 beds under for-profit partnership ownership, and its staffing numbers look decent at first glance, 4.20 nurse hours per resident day, about 9% above the national average. But weekends drop roughly 14% below the home's own weekday coverage, and annual turnover sits at 50.9%, higher than the 45.8% national figure. The bigger concern is the inspection record: 44 deficiencies, including 2 at the harm or jeopardy level and 3 tied to abuse, with a $31,079 fine and a September 2025 inspection. CMS gives it one star for health inspections, and the quality measure score of four stars doesn't offset that.

Life Care Center of Federal Way runs 157 beds under for-profit ownership, and its staffing sits at 4.20 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 9% above the national average. That looks decent until you see the weekends, when coverage drops about 13% below its own weekday level, and turnover runs 53% against a national 45.8%. The bigger problem is the inspection record: 82 deficiencies, five at harm or jeopardy level, six tied to abuse, and $98,970 in fines, with the most recent inspection in March 2025. Resident care measures score well, but a one-star health inspection rating with that many serious findings is what a family should weigh hardest here.

Heritage Center runs 197 beds in Morristown under corporate for-profit ownership, and the staffing picture is mixed. At 3.64 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 6% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 15% below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover, though, is genuinely better than most: 37.4% against a national 45.8%, which suggests the staff who are there tend to stay. Inspections tell the other story: 20 deficiencies on record, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent visit in June 2025. Quality measures score well; staffing and health inspection results are where the weakness sits.

Turnover runs 44.4 percent, close to the national 45.8 percent, so the churn here looks typical rather than alarming. What stands out is the inspection record: seven deficiencies, two tied to abuse, none rising to harm or jeopardy, with the last full inspection back in September 2022, nearly three years without a fresh look. State surveyors haven't revisited recently, so the picture rests on older findings.

Turnover lands at 49.4%, above the 45.8% national figure, which matters when consistent caregivers know the residents. The health inspection record shows 16 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level, and the last inspection was September 2022, so that record is getting old. Fines total $8,788 across one penalty. The 5/5 quality measure rating stands out against the 2/5 staffing and inspection marks; ask what's driving that quality score.

That's the strongest part of the picture. The problems sit elsewhere. Weekend coverage drops about 13% below the home's own weekday levels, so care thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover runs 48%, a bit worse than the 45.8% national figure, and the inspection record carries 40 deficiencies, including one at harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, plus a $39,520 fine. The most recent inspection closed in March 2026, so the record is current rather than stale.

Life Care Center of Carrollton runs a 120-bed for-profit partnership, and the numbers split in two directions. The quality measure score is strong at 4 out of 5, but the staffing score sits at 2, nurse coverage averages 3.24 hours per resident day, about 16% under the national figure of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 15% below the home's own weekday level. Turnover is 59.6% against a national 45.8%, meaning well over half the nursing staff leaves each year. Inspections in April 2025 turned up 33 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, though four are abuse-related, and health inspection came in at 3 out of 5. Families should ask how the home covers weekend shifts and what those abuse citations involved.
