Our read on Luther Manor At Hillcrest

Luther Manor At Hillcrest runs a for-profit shop with 103 certified beds, and the numbers split in two directions. Nurse staffing sits at 4.49 hours per resident day, about 16 percent above the national average of 3.86, but weekends drop roughly 11 percent below the home's own weekday coverage, and annual turnover is 54.3 percent against a national 45.8. That combination means bodies are scheduled, though not always the same ones. The inspection record is where the trouble concentrates: a one-out-of-five health inspection rating, 24 deficiencies including three at harm or jeopardy level, and $42,406 in fines across two events. No abuse citations appear. The most recent inspection was February 12, 2026. Quality measures score two out of five. Ask about weekend coverage and the plan for the three harm-level findings before you decide.
