What to ask about before you visit
These are findings in the public CMS record for this home. They are not our opinion, each one comes straight from a federal inspection or enforcement file.
Nursing staff turnover of 61%
High turnover means residents rarely see the same caregiver twice. The national average is about 50%.
Our read on Hilltop Health And Rehabilitation
Hilltop runs lean on nurses, 3.05 hours per resident per day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop another 11% below its own weekday pace. Turnover sits at 61% when the national figure is 45.8%, meaning most of the people caring for your relative this year likely won't be there next year. The inspection record shows a recent visit, a four-star health inspection and quality measure rating, but also 12 deficiencies with two at harm or jeopardy level, plus one $7,530 fine. It's a for-profit LLC. The care scores look decent on paper; the staffing numbers behind them don't hold up the same way.
