Our read on Lecom At Elmwood Gardens, Llc

Lecom At Elmwood Gardens runs a tight ship on the clinical side. Seven deficiencies on the current record, none of them causing harm or tied to abuse, and a five-star inspection rating from a visit just this February, that's a clean recent history, not a faded one. Nonprofit ownership tends to mean steadier decisions about care. The staffing picture is where you see the tradeoff. Nurses give about 3.93 hours per resident day, slightly above the national average, but it dips roughly 8% on weekends, and turnover sits at 54% against 45.8% nationally. That churn is worth asking about directly. People are leaving faster than at the typical home, and weekends are when coverage thins.

Written from the CMS figures for this home shown further down this page. Nothing here is paid for or supplied by the home.
