Our read on Eureka Nursing Center
Eureka Nursing Center runs 65 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.94 hours per resident day, roughly 2% above the national average of 3.86. That margin is thin, and weekends drop about 12% below the home's own weekday coverage, so the hours a resident actually gets shift depending on the day. Annual turnover is 50.9% against a national 45.8%, meaning more than half the nursing staff leaves each year. The current inspection record carries 34 deficiencies, three of them at the harm or jeopardy level and three abuse-related, with $23,865 in fines across three penalties. The most recent inspection was April 15, 2026.
