Our read on Excel Care At Wayne
Excel Care At Wayne is a for-profit LLC home with 120 beds, and its staffing is where the trouble starts. At 3.28 nurse hours per resident day, it runs about 15% under the national average of 3.86, weekends dip another 9% below its own weekdays, and turnover sits at 75.2% against a national 45.8%, that's three out of four caregivers leaving in a year, which makes consistent care hard to sustain. Inspections in December 2024 turned up 10 deficiencies, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, plus an $8,281 fine; the health inspection rating lands at 2 of 5 stars. The 4-star quality measure score reflects charted outcomes, but those depend on the staff actually being there to chart them.
