St. Annes runs a stable ship on the staffing side, 3.97 nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the national average, and a 25.8% turnover rate that's well below the typical 45.8%. Retention like that usually means consistent caregivers who know the residents. Weekends dip about 8% from weekday coverage, worth asking about if your family visits then. The tension sits in the inspection record: 18 deficiencies, two serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, one tied to abuse, and $34,141 in fines across three incidents. The most recent survey closed in April 2025. Strong care metrics and staffing don't erase a rough survey history, ask to see the plan of correction for those two harm-level findings.
