West Meade Place

Nurse hours

Staff turnover
63%

0

West Meade Place runs 120 certified beds as a for-profit partnership, and its overall nurse staffing sits at 3.98 hours per resident day, roughly 3% above the national average of 3.86. That headline number comes with a catch: weekend staffing drops about 12% below its own weekday level, and annual turnover is 62.6% against a national average of 45.8%, so the people providing that care change often. Inspections look steady, a 4/5 health inspection rating, most recently surveyed March 13, 2026, with 17 deficiencies on record, none at harm or jeopardy level but two tied to abuse. The 5/5 quality measure rating reflects resident outcomes; the 2/5 staffing rating reflects what CMS actually thinks of the hours and retention.

Staff turnover

The inspection record here is actually pretty solid, a 4-star health inspection rating, most recent survey in September 2025, and no abuse deficiencies on file. Where it gets thin is the day-to-day staffing. At 3.31 nurse hours per resident, this home runs about 14% below the national average, and weekends dip roughly 17% below its own weekday levels, which is when families tend to notice. Staff turnover sits at 58.2% against a national 45.8%, so the people providing that care are cycling through faster than average. Twelve deficiencies, two of them serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, plus $16,530 in fines, round out the picture: safe enough on paper, but you'd want to ask about weekend coverage and how long aides tend to stay.

Nhc Healthcare, Joplin runs 124 certified beds under for-profit limited liability ownership, and its last inspection was recent, August 4, 2025, so the 31 deficiencies on record, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse, reflect current conditions rather than old problems. Staffing is where the numbers get hardest to ignore: CMS gives it 1 out of 5 stars, and annual turnover sits at 50 percent, above the 45.8 percent national average. Inspection and quality measure ratings both land at 3 out of 5. Put plainly, the care measures are middling while the workforce that delivers them is thin and constantly changing.

Staff turnover

Nhc Healthcare, Oak Ridge runs 128 certified beds as a for-profit corporation, and its health inspection record is the strongest part of the story: a 4-out-of-5 inspection rating with just nine deficiencies on file, none of them serious enough to cause harm and none tied to abuse. Staffing tells a more uneven story. Total nurse hours per resident day land at 3.86, essentially matching the national average, but weekends run roughly 18% thinner than weekdays, so coverage depends on when you visit. Annual turnover sits at 57.5% against a national 45.8%, meaning more than half the nursing staff leaves each year. The most recent inspection was in February 2026, so the picture is current.

Serious cites

Nhc Healthcare Rossville runs on 3.10 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly a fifth below the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip another 13% below what the home staffs on weekdays. That thin coverage sits behind a 57.5% annual turnover rate, well above the 45.8% national figure, meaning aides and nurses are cycling out faster than most places. The inspection record is where the real trouble shows: 15 deficiencies on file, five serious enough to endanger residents, four tied to abuse, and a $57,077 fine. Its quality-measure scores look strong, but those reflect charted care, not the hands available to deliver it.

60%
Serious cites

Nhc Healthcare, Desloge runs 120 beds under corporate ownership, and its inspection history is genuinely solid, a recent April 2025 survey with no abuse citations and only one deficiency serious enough to cause harm. Where it slips is in the day-to-day. Nurse staffing sits about 10% under the national average, weekends drop roughly 17% below the home's own weekday coverage, and turnover runs near 60% against a national figure closer to 46%. Quality measures, which track how residents actually fare, land at 2 out of 5 stars. The care may be adequate on paper, but thin weekend coverage and heavy staff churn are worth asking about directly.

Nhc Healthcare, Franklin runs 80 certified beds under for-profit limited liability ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.49 hours per resident day, roughly 10% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop about 14% below its own weekday coverage, and annual turnover reaches 55.3% against a national 45.8%, so continuity of caregivers is a real question here. The inspection record shows 9 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, with one fine totaling $62,491 and nothing new since September 2022. Quality measures score well, but staffing and inspection results are where the gaps sit.

Nhc Healthcare, Anniston runs 151 certified beds under for-profit limited liability ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.47 hours per resident day, about 10% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip roughly another 10% below its own weekday levels, so coverage gets thinnest exactly when families tend to visit. The current inspection record shows 10 deficiencies, including 2 at the harm or jeopardy level and 3 tied to abuse, with one fine of $11,057 and a survey completed in October 2024. Staff turnover is 46%, essentially matching the national rate of 45.8%. Note the split in the federal stars: quality measures earn 4 out of 5, staffing earns 4, but health inspections earn only 2, the direct-care record is where the problems concentrate.

Abuse icon on record

Osage Beach Rehabilitation runs 94 beds as a for-profit corporation, and its nurse staffing sits just under the national average, 3.83 hours per resident day against 3.86. That gap is small, but weekends run about 16 percent leaner than weekdays, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover is 38.7 percent, actually better than the 45.8 percent national figure, which matters for continuity of care. What pulls the record down is the inspection history: 31 deficiencies, four at harm or jeopardy level, one tied to abuse, and a $107,324 fine. The most recent inspection was February 2025. Ask about weekend staffing and the abuse-related finding before you decide.

Abuse icon on record

Nhc Healthcare, Springfield runs 107 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its last inspection was December 3, 2025, recent enough that the record reflects current conditions. Those conditions include 14 deficiencies, three of them abuse-related and two at the harm or jeopardy level, plus a $122,070 federal fine. Nurse staffing sits at 3.50 hours per resident day, about 9% under the national average, weekends run roughly 9% leaner than weekdays, and annual turnover is 54.6% against a national 45.8%. The five-star quality measure rating stands out against a one-star inspection rating, but quality measures are self-reported resident data, not an outside surveyor's findings. Staffing earns three stars.

White Oak Manor-Shelby runs 160 certified beds as a for-profit corporation, and the staffing numbers are the first thing a family should look at. At 3.43 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 11 percent under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 12 percent below its own weekday level, meaning the thinnest coverage lands when families often visit. Staff turnover of 62.8 percent, against a national figure near 46 percent, suggests aides and nurses are cycling through faster than residents can get used to them. Eighteen deficiencies sit on the current record, five serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy and two tied to abuse. Five fines total $42,972.
