What to ask about before you visit

Our read on Knollwood Hsc

Knollwood Hsc sits in Washington with 69 certified beds and non-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing runs at 5.58 hours per resident day, roughly 44% above the national average of 3.86. That's a real gap, though weekend coverage dips about 9% below its own weekday level, so the weekday numbers aren't the whole story. The inspection record is where things get murkier: 39 deficiencies on file, including 3 at harm or jeopardy level and 4 tied to abuse, with the last inspection dated April 2023. Quality measures score well, but a record that includes harm-level and abuse-related findings is worth asking about directly before you decide.
