Our read on Frasier Meadows Health Care Center

Frasier Meadows runs a leaner ship than most. Nurse staffing sits at 5.18 hours per resident day, roughly a third more than the national average, and weekend coverage barely dips, staying within about 7% of weekday levels. That consistency matters, because short weekend shifts are where care problems tend to hide. Staff turnover is 28.8%, well under the national 45.8%, so the people caring for residents here tend to stick around. The record isn't spotless: seven deficiencies, two serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy, one tied to abuse, and three fines totaling $49,202. But a 4-out-of-5 inspection rating and a recent April 2024 inspection suggest those issues were addressed rather than ignored, and the quality measures themselves are strong.
