  • Weekend staffing drops 34%

    Care hours fall sharply on Saturdays and Sundays compared with weekdays.

Our read on Lawrence County Manor

Lawrence County Manor reports 0.39 total nurse staffing hours per resident day, roughly a tenth of the national average of 3.86, and weekends run about a third thinner than weekdays already are. Staff turnover sits at 93.3% against a national 45.8%, meaning the people who do show up are largely new. The inspection record shows 32 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and six tied to abuse, with a single fine of $13,762 and a health inspection rating of 1 out of 5. County ownership doesn't change any of that. If you're considering this home, the staffing numbers are the ones to ask about directly.
