Our read on Colonial Gardens Nursing Home

Colonial Gardens runs 4.25 nurse hours per resident day, about 10% above the national average, and its 36.6% turnover beats the 45.8% national figure. That's the good news, and it's real. The rest is harder: a 1/5 inspection rating and 107 deficiencies on the current record, including 12 tied to abuse and two serious enough to put residents in harm's way. Weekend coverage slips roughly 10% below weekday levels, so the hours thin out exactly when families tend to visit. One fine of $36,700 is on file, but the last inspection was May 2025, so the record is current. Staffing looks adequate on paper. The inspection history is the part to weigh.
