Our read on Life Care Center Of South Las Vegas
Life Care Center of South Las Vegas is a 120-bed for-profit home that CMS has placed in its Special Focus Facility program, a designation reserved for homes with a persistent record of serious problems. The inspection history backs that up: 41 deficiencies on the current record, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse. Staffing sits roughly at the national average, and weekend coverage runs about 10% thinner than weekdays. Turnover is 31.4%, well below the national rate, so the same caregivers tend to stay. The catch is that stable staff haven't translated into clean surveys. Strong quality-measure scores don't offset a record this troubled.
