Our read on Dewitt Nursing Home

Dewitt Nursing Home runs 60 certified beds as a nonprofit corporation, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.64 hours per resident day, roughly 6% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends are the bigger concern: staffing drops about 19% below the home's own weekday level, which is when families often notice less attention. The inspection record shows 22 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, but one is abuse-related, and the last inspection was recent, in February 2026. CMS rates staffing and quality measures at 2 out of 5 stars each, with inspections at 3. If you're considering this home, ask specifically how weekend coverage is handled and what that abuse-related deficiency involved.
