Our read on Life Care Center Of Reno
Life Care Center of Reno runs 198 beds under corporate ownership, and its staffing sits just a hair above the national average, close enough that the real story is elsewhere. Weekend coverage drops about 19% below weekday levels, which matters when falls and infections don't check the calendar. Turnover is genuinely low at 31.3%, well under the national 45.8%, so caregivers tend to stay. What sinks this home is its inspection record: 55 deficiencies, including two tied to abuse, and CMS has placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, a designation reserved for the most persistently troubled homes. The quality and staffing stars look fine on paper. The survey history is what a family should actually weigh.
