Our read on Ballinger Healthcare And Rehabilitation Center

Ballinger Healthcare and Rehabilitation Center runs on thin staffing. At 3.04 nurse hours per resident per day, it sits about 21% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly another 11% below its own weekday level, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. The bigger flag is turnover: 96.1% annually, meaning the aides and nurses caring for residents are, in large part, new to the building, against a national rate near 46%. Its 13 deficiencies include one abuse-related citation but none at the harm level, and the last inspection was November 2024. For-profit LLC ownership.
