Our read on Cedars Health Center
Cedars Health Center runs on unusually thin staffing margins in one direction and comfortable ones in another: 4.86 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, but weekends drop roughly 10% below what the home itself staffs Monday through Friday. Turnover sits at 48.8%, a few points above the national figure, meaning nearly half the nursing staff cycles out annually. The inspection record is where the trouble shows: 17 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy, two tied to abuse, and a $16,153 fine. The most recent inspection was November 2025, so the picture is current, and it is mixed, strong daily coverage undercut by a citation history that a family should ask about directly.
