Westgate Hills runs leaner than most: 3.59 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 17 percent below its own weekday staffing. That gap matters because needs don't take weekends off. Staff turnover sits at 56.6 percent, well above the 45.8 percent national figure, so the people providing care change often. The current inspection record carries 74 deficiencies, including six tied to abuse, though none rose to the harm or jeopardy level. State inspectors were last on site in April 2025. Quality measures look strong here, but the staffing and inspection numbers are where a family should focus their questions.
