Our read on Grande Lake Healthcare Center

Grande Lake Healthcare Center runs 45 certified beds in St. Marys under corporate for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.22 hours per resident day, roughly 17 percent under the national average of 3.86, with weekends about 10 percent thinner than its own weekdays. That shortfall shows up in the federal staffing rating, which lands at 2 out of 5. Turnover runs 43.2 percent, a touch better than the 45.8 percent national figure, so retention isn't the main problem. The record carries 33 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, though the last inspection was recent, in February 2025.
