What to ask about before you visit

These are findings in the public CMS record for this home. They are not our opinion, each one comes straight from a federal inspection or enforcement file.

  • Nursing staff turnover of 68%

    High turnover means residents rarely see the same caregiver twice. The national average is about 50%.

Our read on Blossom Health Care Center Inc.

Blossom Health Care Center runs on 3.42 nursing hours per resident day, about 11% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 21% below what the home staffs on weekdays. That thin coverage shows up in the numbers: 67.9% annual turnover, well above the 45.8% national rate, so the aides and nurses at the bedside keep changing. Inspectors cited 36 deficiencies on the current record, four tied to abuse, though none rose to actual harm or jeopardy. The last visit was October 2024. With 80 beds and corporate for-profit ownership, this is a home where you should ask directly how they cover weekends and how long their current staff have actually been there.
