What to ask about before you visit

    Ratings here are based on older survey data than at most facilities.

Our read on Meadowview Nursing Center

Meadowview Nursing Center runs about 4.03 nurse staffing hours per resident per day, roughly 4% above the national average, and that shows up in its staffing rating. Weekends get thinner, though, running about 11% below the home's own weekday level, so coverage isn't perfectly even across the week. Staff turnover sits at 46.6%, essentially in line with the national figure. On inspections, the record is clean where it matters most: seven deficiencies total, none causing harm or jeopardy, none abuse-related, with the last full inspection in June 2023. The weaker spot is quality measures, where the home scores lower than its inspection and staffing results would suggest, which is worth asking about directly.
