Our read on American Village

American Village is county-owned and holds 150 beds, and its last inspection was in March 2026, so the record on file is recent. That record shows 34 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse. Staffing is where the pattern holds: 3.37 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, weekends running about 16% below its own weekdays, and turnover at 54.4% compared with 45.8% nationally. The quality measure rating of 5 out of 5 sits alongside a 2 out of 5 on both inspection and staffing, which tells you the clinical measures look better than the day-to-day coverage.
