Our read on Lake Mariam Health And Rehabilitation Center

Lake Mariam runs 4.18 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 8% above the national average, but weekends drop about 12% below its own weekday numbers, so the coverage that looks fine on paper thins out when families visit. The bigger problem is the inspection record: 65 deficiencies, seven at harm or jeopardy level, two involving abuse, and $353,123 in fines across four penalties. CMS has placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, which it reserves for homes with a persistent pattern of serious problems. Staff turnover sits at 46.7%, slightly above the 45.8% national average. The quality measure score is strong, but that's built from resident assessment data, not from what inspectors found on January 25, 2024.
