Our read on Hillcrest Raleigh At Crabtree Valley

Hillcrest Raleigh At Crabtree Valley runs 134 certified beds under corporate ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 5.08 hours per resident day, roughly a third above the national average of 3.86. That's a real cushion, though weekend coverage dips about 8% below its own weekday levels, and staff turnover of 47.4% lands slightly above the national 45.8%, so the people delivering that care keep changing. The current record shows 13 deficiencies, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, with no abuse citations, and the most recent inspection came in March 2025. Inspection and staffing ratings both sit at 4 out of 5, while the quality measure score is 2. That split is worth asking about directly.
