Our read on Little Sisters Of The Poor

Little Sisters of the Poor runs a small home, 35 beds, and staffs it heavily: 5.89 nurse hours per resident day, well above the national figure. That nurse coverage is the strongest thing here, though weekends dip about 10% below weekdays and staff turnover sits at 59.3%, noticeably higher than the 45.8% national rate. Ten deficiencies show on the current record, none at the harm or jeopardy level, with the last inspection in May 2025. The 1/5 quality measure rating is the weak spot, that's resident care outcomes, separate from how many nurses are on the floor. So the picture splits: plenty of hands, mixed care results, and a workforce that keeps changing.
