Our read on La Vida Serena Nursing And Rehabilitation

La Vida Serena runs thin on nursing staff, 2.87 hours per resident per day against a national average of 3.86, roughly a quarter below it. Weekends are lighter still, about 11% under the home's own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts come when families often visit. The inspection record is a mixed picture: a four-star health inspection rating and a recent survey in September 2024, but 17 deficiencies on file, two of them at harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse. A single fine of $8,404 has been levied. The staffing star sits at one out of five, which tells you where the trouble concentrates.
