Our read on Damas Hospital Snf
Damas Hospital SNF runs a tight ship on staffing. At 4.92 nurse hours per resident day, it's well above the national average of 3.86, and a turnover rate of 4.8% is remarkable next to the 45.8% typical elsewhere. Weekend coverage does dip about 24% below weekday levels, so ask how that plays out on Saturdays and Sundays. The inspection record is where things get complicated: 30 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and five tied to abuse, despite a perfect health inspection star rating and a recent March 2026 survey. One fine totaling $10,839 is on file. Small facility, 25 beds, nonprofit-owned, worth a visit and pointed questions about those abuse-related findings.
