Our read on Pioneer Manor Nursing Home

Pioneer Manor runs on city government ownership in a small Sheridan County town, and the numbers mostly hold up. Nurse staffing sits at 3.99 hours per resident day, a touch above the national average, and the weekend-to-weekday gap of roughly 15% is worth asking about directly, that's when families tend to notice less coverage. Staff turnover at 44.8% lands right around the national figure, so this isn't a home bleeding workers faster than everyone else. Nine deficiencies on record, one serious enough to involve harm, none tied to abuse, with an inspection completed at the end of 2025. That single harm-level finding is the one item I'd want explained before deciding.
