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 Countryside Care & Rehabilitation

Countryside Care runs on county money in a small Idaho town, and the staffing number is the headline: 5.66 nurse hours per resident day, well above the national average, with a four-star CMS staffing rating to back it. Look closer and the picture muddies. Nearly every employee turned over last year, 97.9% against a national 45.8%, and weekend coverage drops about 11% below weekdays, so the people delivering that care keep changing. Nineteen deficiencies sit on the current record, including one tied to abuse, though none reached the harm level, and the most recent inspection came in September 2025. Quality measures rate two stars, which doesn't square neatly with the staffing advantage.
