Our read on Richardton Health Center Inc

Richardton Health Center runs on 4.18 nursing hours per resident day, roughly 8% above the national average, and that staffing depth shows up in its five-star staffing rating. The catch is weekends, when coverage drops about 20% below the home's own weekday level, families who visit on Saturdays and Sundays should ask who's actually on the floor. Its inspection record is clean where it matters most: eight deficiencies on file, none causing harm or jeopardy, none tied to abuse, with the most recent survey in December 2025. Staff turnover sits at 46.2%, essentially the national average, so this isn't a home bleeding caregivers faster than everyone else. For 29 beds under nonprofit ownership, the numbers read steady rather than spectacular.
