Our read on Hillsboro House Nursing Home

Hillsboro House runs 33 beds under corporate ownership, and the numbers tell a mixed story. Nurse staffing sits at 3.48 hours per resident day, about 10% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 14% below the home's own weekday coverage, so your family member's Saturday care may look thinner than a Tuesday's. Staff turnover is 57.7%, well above the 45.8% national figure, which matters because unfamiliar aides mean less continuity for residents who need consistent hands. The health inspection record shows 16 deficiencies with no harm or abuse findings, though 17 fines totaling $97,730 have accumulated; that inspection history, paired with a recent August 2025 survey, is worth reading closely before you decide.
