Our read on Beachwood Post-Acute & Rehab

Beachwood Post-Acute & Rehab has real staffing going for it: 4.68 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly a fifth above the national average, and turnover at 30.5% is well below the 45.8% norm, a sign people stay. Weekends dip about 9% from weekday coverage, but that's the least of it. The inspection record is the problem: 118 deficiencies, five at harm or jeopardy level, 11 abuse-related, and two fines totaling $177,718. The most recent inspection was June 27, 2025, so this isn't stale history. For-profit LLC ownership, 227 beds. Staffing can't offset that deficiency count, ask pointed questions about the abuse citations before considering this one.
