Our read on Montello Care Center
Montello Care Center has real staffing depth, 4.71 nurse hours per resident day, about 22% above the national average, but that's roughly where the good news ends. The home carries 67 deficiencies on its current record, including 4 at the harm or jeopardy level and 16 tied to abuse, and CMS has fined it three times for a total of $163,039. Staff turnover sits at 64% against a national average near 46%, and weekend coverage drops about 10% below weekday levels, so the hours on paper may not hold steady when families visit. A one-star health inspection rating and a December 2025 inspection round out the picture.
