Our read on Deerfield Episcopal Retirement
Deerfield Episcopal runs a lean, well-staffed operation: 5.44 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and turnover at 28.7% is far below the 45.8% norm, which matters because consistent caregivers know the residents. Inspections back that up, a five-star health inspection rating, three total deficiencies, none causing harm, none abuse-related. The soft spot is quality measures, where the home scores just two stars, and weekend staffing dips about 14% below weekday levels, so ask specifically who's on the floor on Saturdays and Sundays. It's a nonprofit with 62 beds and a recent inspection, and the numbers suggest solid care with one area worth a direct question.
