Our read on Brown Health And Rehabilitation

Brown Health and Rehabilitation runs on leaner nursing hours than most homes in the country, about 3.28 hours per resident per day against a national average near 3.86, and weekends get thinner still, dropping roughly 12% below what the building staffs during the week. That gap matters when a family is deciding whether Saturday and Sunday care looks like Tuesday care. The inspection record is the stronger part of the story: a recent survey in September 2025, no deficiencies at the harm or jeopardy level, and a 4-out-of-5 inspection rating. But 17 total deficiencies sit on the record, two of them abuse-related, and the quality measure rating of 2 out of 5 lags the inspection results. Staff turnover at 47.3% runs a bit above the national average, which fits a home where the clinical numbers and the survey numbers don't tell the same story.
