Our read on Lynn Care Center
Nurse staffing at Lynn Care Center runs 4.11 hours per resident day, a bit above the national average, but the coverage thins out on weekends, dropping about 16% below its own weekday level. Staff turnover sits at 56.6%, meaning more than half the nursing team leaves each year, well above the national 45.8%. The inspection record is where the real concern sits: 59 deficiencies, 4 of them at harm or jeopardy level, 3 related to abuse, and a $38,110 fine. That's a lot of problems for a 120-bed for-profit home, and the 1-out-of-5 inspection rating reflects it. High quality measure scores don't cancel out a record like that.
