Mercy Harvard runs 34 beds as a nonprofit, and the staffing numbers are the story here: 6.76 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 75% above the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips about 8% below its own weekday level, but that's a narrow gap and staff turnover sits at 35.5%, well under the 45.8% national figure. The current record shows 9 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related. A 5/5 inspection rating with a February 2026 survey means the state looked recently and found nothing serious. Small homes live or die on consistency, and this one has it.

Mercy Manor runs on 8.47 nurse hours per resident day, more than double the national average, and that staffing shows up in the ratings, four stars for staffing, five for quality measures. The catch is consistency: weekend coverage drops roughly 17% below what the home provides on weekdays, so care depends on when you visit. Nine deficiencies sit on the current record, one serious enough to cause harm and two tied to abuse, plus a single $53,847 fine. Last inspection was July 2025, so the record is recent. A nonprofit with 28 beds can know every resident well. It can also struggle to cover a weekend.

Mercyhealth Javon Bea Hospital-SNF is tiny, just 17 certified beds, and it's run by a nonprofit corporation, which often means the money goes back into the building rather than to shareholders. Inspectors gave it a perfect record: zero deficiencies on the current books, none at the harm level, no abuse citations, and the last visit was recent, in October 2024. That's genuinely rare. The catch is staffing, which sits at the bottom of the federal scale. With so few residents, nurses may have more time per person than the ratio suggests, but the government's own measure doesn't reflect that. Strong oversight, thin staffing, that's the trade-off here.
