Our read on Allure Of Mendota

Allure of Mendota runs 85 beds under a for-profit limited liability company, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.78 hours per resident day, just under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 4% below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover is 37.5%, better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for consistency of care. But the inspection record is the real story: 23 deficiencies, four at harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, plus $28,669 in fines across two events. The most recent inspection was November 2024. Good staffing numbers don't cancel out four serious findings.
