Our read on Golden Rose Care Center

Golden Rose Care Center has 99 certified beds and enough nurses on paper, 4.41 hours per resident day, roughly 14% above the national average, but the inspection record tells a different story. The current file lists 129 deficiencies, including four at the level where residents were actually harmed or put in jeopardy, and ten tied to abuse. State and federal surveyors fined this for-profit corporate home 22 times for a total of $175,941. Staffing holds up better than most on turnover, at 43.1% against a national 45.8%, though weekend coverage drops about 7% below its own weekday levels. The last inspection was June 5, 2025. A 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating with that many harm-level findings is the number that matters most here.
