What to ask about before you visit

Our read on Bowling Green Nursing And Rehabilitation Center

Bowling Green Nursing and Rehabilitation Center runs 66 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its recent inspection record is genuinely decent, a four-star health inspection rating with six deficiencies, none at the harm level. The trouble sits elsewhere. Nurse staffing comes in at 3.63 hours per resident day, about 6% under the national average, and it thins out further on weekends. Annual turnover of 64.4% against a national 45.8% means the people caring for residents are frequently new. Two of those deficiencies are abuse-related, which deserves a direct question when you tour. Ask who's on the floor on a Sunday afternoon.
