Abuse icon on record

Fernhill Rehabilitation And Care runs on a paradox: 5.01 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 30% above the national average, which is why CMS gives it 4 stars for staffing. But look at what happens around that staffing. Weekend coverage drops about 7% below weekday levels, so the hours aren't as steady as the annual figure suggests. Annual turnover hits 64% against a national 45.8%, meaning most of the people providing that care are new to the building. The inspection record backs that up: 60 deficiencies, one at harm or jeopardy level and seven abuse-related, with a 2-star health inspection rating and a 2025-08-08 survey. One fine of $8,278. The staffing is real. The consistency and safety record aren't keeping pace.

Special Focus Facility

Cascade Terrace is a for-profit LLC with 105 beds, and it's staffed better than most: 4.69 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage slips about 7% below its own weekday level, and turnover sits at 47.1%, roughly in line with the national 45.8%. The problem isn't the floor, it's the record. Forty-six deficiencies, including four at harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse, plus $185,923 in fines across two cases. That's why CMS placed it in the Special Focus Facility program. The most recent inspection was April 28, 2025. Good staffing can't offset that inspection history on its own.
