Our read on Capitol City Rehab And Healthcare Center

Capitol City Rehab runs 360 beds under for-profit ownership, and its staffing numbers are genuinely better than average: 4.20 nurse hours per resident day against a national 3.86.

The current record carries 163 deficiencies, 13 of them serious enough to put residents in harm's way, plus 16 abuse-related citations and $384,200 in fines across four penalties.

Good hours on paper, rough record in practice.
