Our read on Letcher Manor

Letcher Manor runs 142 certified beds in Whitesburg under corporate for-profit ownership, and its staffing is the number that stands out: 3.47 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 10% under the national average of 3.86, with weekends dipping about another 10% below its own weekday level. That thin coverage shows up in the federal staffing rating, which sits at 1 out of 5 stars. Turnover is 46.2%, essentially in line with the 45.8% national figure, so the issue isn't churn so much as how many hands are scheduled. The current record lists 12 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level but one abuse-related, and the last inspection was February 27, 2025.
