Our read on Halstad Living Center

Halstad Living Center runs on a nonprofit model with 44 certified beds, and its inspection record is genuinely clean, six deficiencies on the books, none rising to harm or jeopardy, none tied to abuse. The recent survey date means that picture is current, not stale. Staffing tells a more mixed story: 3.66 nurse hours per resident day sits about 5% under the national average, and weekends run roughly 23% lighter than weekdays, which is worth asking about if your family visits on Saturdays or Sundays. Turnover at 38.6% beats the 45.8% national figure, so the people who are there tend to stay. A solid record overall, with the weekend coverage gap as the main thing to press on.
