What to ask about before you visit

These are findings in the public CMS record for this home. They are not our opinion, each one comes straight from a federal inspection or enforcement file.

  • Nursing staff turnover of 70%

    High turnover means residents rarely see the same caregiver twice. The national average is about 50%.

  • Last inspection was more than 2 years ago

    Ratings here are based on older survey data than at most facilities.

Our read on Galleria Woods Skilled Nursing Facility

Staffing at Galleria Woods runs about 4.36 nurse hours per resident each day, roughly 13 percent above the national figure, and that shows up in its staffing rating. The catch is turnover: close to 70 percent of staff left over the past year, well above the 45.8 percent national average, so the people providing that care are often new. On inspections, the record shows 10 deficiencies with none at the harm level and no abuse findings, but the last full look was December 2021, a long gap. A for-profit corporation operates this 30-bed home, and weekend coverage dips slightly below its own weekday level.
