Our read on Highfield Nursing And Rehabilitation

Highfield runs on 3.13 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 19% under the national average, and weekends dip about 13% below what the home itself staffs on weekdays. Annual turnover sits at 53.2%, well above the 45.8% national figure, which means the people showing up are often new. Inspectors have cited 20 deficiencies, four of them at harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, with two fines totaling $175,559 and a 2/5 health inspection rating. Ownership is for-profit corporate. A 4/5 on quality measures doesn't offset a 1/5 staffing rating, especially with a March 2026 inspection already driving the enforcement record.
