What to ask about before you visit
These are findings in the public CMS record for this home. They are not our opinion, each one comes straight from a federal inspection or enforcement file.
Nursing staff turnover of 98%
High turnover means residents rarely see the same caregiver twice. The national average is about 50%.
Our read on Cottonwood Nursing & Rehabilitation
Cottonwood runs about 3.24 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 16% under the national average, and weekends dip a bit further below its own weekday numbers. The bigger issue is turnover: 98% annually, more than double the national rate, which means the aides and nurses caring for your relative are constantly new. Twenty-eight deficiencies sit on the current record, though none rose to harm or jeopardy and none involved abuse. A recent inspection in August 2025 is a point in its favor, as is the three-star health inspection rating. But for-profit corporate ownership, a one-star staffing rating, and a two-star quality measure rating all point the same direction: check actual caregiver presence on the shifts you'd visit.
