Our read on Blue Palms Health And Rehabilitation Center At Fle

Blue Palms runs 3.49 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 9% under the national figure, and weekends dip about 8% below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Staff turnover sits at 51.9%, well above the national 45.8%, which means the people caring for your relative are often new. Inspections tell a harder story: 37 deficiencies on the current record, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse, plus $16,801 in fines. The five-star quality measure score reflects good clinical numbers on paper, but with a two-star inspection history and a 2024 inspection date, ask direct questions about who's on the floor nights and weekends.
