What to ask about before you visit

  • Nursing staff turnover of 64%

    High turnover means residents rarely see the same caregiver twice. The national average is about 50%.

  • Last inspection was more than 2 years ago

    Ratings here are based on older survey data than at most facilities.

Our read on Deer Meadows Rehabilitation And Nursing

Deer Meadows runs a 119-bed for-profit operation in Abingdon, and the staffing numbers are where the story starts: 3.30 nurse hours per resident per day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends dipping roughly 11% below its own weekdays. Nearly two-thirds of staff turned over in the past year, 63.6% against a national 45.8%, which means the people delivering care keep changing. On paper, the quality measures look decent at 4 out of 5 stars, and the 53 deficiencies on record include none flagged for harm or abuse. But low staffing plus high turnover is a hard combination to dress up, no matter how the quality scores read.
