Our read on Montgomery Village Care Center

Montgomery Village Care Center runs on thinner nurse coverage than the typical American nursing home, 3.59 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about another 10% below what the building staffs Monday through Friday. That matters for a 147-bed corporate-owned home, since shorter weekend coverage is when falls and missed medications tend to happen. The tradeoff is that workers stay: turnover of 22.9% is roughly half the national rate, so the people on the floor know the residents. Inspections look strong on paper, but the last one was in January 2021, more than four years ago, so the 39 deficiencies on file, none involving harm or abuse, may not reflect how the building runs today.
