Our read on Discovery Rehabilitation And Living
Discovery Rehabilitation and Living runs 45 certified beds in Salmon under corporate for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.30 hours per resident day, roughly 11% above the national average. That's the strongest part of the picture. Weekends dip about 15% below weekday coverage, though, and turnover lands at 46.7%, essentially matching the national rate rather than beating it. The inspection record is where things get uneven. Thirty-six deficiencies are on file, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in December 2025. Federal inspectors rated health inspections 2 out of 5 stars while quality measures came in at 5. The staffing hours are real, but a thin inspection margin and near-average retention are worth asking about directly.
