Our read on Eskaton Village Care Center

The numbers here tell two different stories. Eskaton Village Care Center keeps residents safe in the ways inspections measure: 41 deficiencies on record but none rising to actual harm or jeopardy, and the most recent inspection was in March 2026. Quality measures earn top marks, meaning low rates of things like pressure ulcers and falls. Where it falls down is staffing, the lowest possible rating, well below what CMS expects for 35 beds. Three abuse-related deficiencies also appear on the record. A nonprofit corporation runs the place, so there's no profit motive pushing the margin. The gap between good outcomes and thin staffing is the thing to ask about directly.

Written from the CMS figures for this home shown further down this page. Nothing here is paid for or supplied by the home.
