Our read on Elderberry Health Care

Elderberry Health Care runs on 2.94 nursing hours per resident per day, roughly a quarter below the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop another 13% below its own weekday staffing. That thin coverage shows up in the inspection record: 18 deficiencies, including one abuse-related citation, though none rose to the harm or jeopardy level, and the state was last in the building in November 2025. Turnover of 38.7% is better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for continuity of care, but the 1-out-of-5 quality measure rating is the weakest part of the picture. Corporate-owned, 80 beds, and staffing that asks a lot of the people who show up.
