Our read on Hearthstone Health And Rehabilitation

Hearthstone runs 125 beds in Sparks under for-profit LLC ownership, and its last inspection on March 5, 2026 left a record of 59 deficiencies, one at the harm or immediate jeopardy level, five tied to abuse. That's a lot of findings, even for a home with a recent survey. Staffing sits just under the national average at 3.81 nurse hours per resident day, and weekends run about 15% thinner than weekdays, so coverage dips when families tend to visit. Turnover is genuinely better than most: 34.7% against a national 45.8%. One fine totaling $48,721 is on record. The quality measure score looks strong, but the inspection history is what should drive your questions.
