Our read on Dunbar Village Terrace

Dunbar Village Terrace sits right around the national average for nurse staffing, 3.89 hours per resident day against 3.86 nationally, so there's no real cushion there, and weekends run about 13% thinner than weekdays. The bigger number to sit with is turnover: 61.7% annually, well above the 45.8% national average, which means the people caring for residents are changing over faster than at a typical home. Inspections look solid on paper, a 4 out of 5 star rating with the most recent visit in July 2025, but the record shows 10 deficiencies including one at the harm level, plus an $8,021 fine. This is a for-profit partnership, 60 beds.
