Our read on Alexandria Care Center

Alexandria Care Center runs on steady staffing, not flash. Nurse coverage sits just above the national average, and a 16.5% turnover rate is remarkably low next to the 45.8% typical elsewhere, that kind of retention usually means people stay, which matters for residents who need consistent caregivers. Weekend coverage dips about 7% below weekdays, so families should ask who's on shift Saturdays and Sundays. The trouble is the inspection record: 115 deficiencies on file, including four tied to abuse, even though none rose to harm or jeopardy level, and the most recent inspection was January 2025. A one-out-of-five health inspection rating against four-out-of-five marks for quality and staffing tells you the care numbers look better than the paperwork trail.
