Our read on Bay Terrace Rehabilitation And Health Center
Bay Terrace runs on a for-profit corporate model with 85 certified beds, and the staffing numbers are the strongest part of the picture: 4.19 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 8% above the national average, with a 36.6% turnover rate that's meaningfully better than the 45.8% national figure. Weekend coverage does slip about 10% below weekday levels, worth knowing if you'll be visiting Saturdays and Sundays. The trouble sits in the inspection record: 38 deficiencies, including two at the harm level and two tied to abuse, plus three fines totaling $42,862. The most recent inspection was April 2026, so the record is current rather than stale. Good daily staffing, but the compliance history is what pulls the overall picture down.
