Our read on Degraff Memorial Hospital-Skilled Nursing Facility

The staffing number is the one to sit with here: 1 out of 5 stars, with 53.6% annual turnover against a national average of 45.8%. That means the people caring for residents are changing over at a faster clip than at the typical American nursing home. On the other side of the ledger, the clinical quality measures score a full 5 out of 5, and the ten deficiencies on record include none at the harm or jeopardy level, though two are abuse-related, which is worth asking about directly. Inspections were recent, in October 2024, and the last one drew a middling result. Corporate-owned, 80 beds.
