What to ask about before you visit

Our read on Beechwood Health Care Center, Inc.

Beechwood runs 272 certified beds as a nonprofit corporation, and its 3.97 nurse staffing hours per resident day sits slightly above the national average of 3.86. Turnover is where it separates itself: 37.5% annually against a national 45.8%, meaning fewer caregivers are walking out the door than at the typical home. The tradeoff is weekends, when staffing drops about 13% below its own weekday level. Eight deficiencies are on the current record, none at the harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related. The last inspection was November 2023, so the picture is reasonably current, and the federal ratings come back clean across health inspections, quality measures, and staffing.
