Our read on River Trace Nursing And Rehabilitation Center
River Trace carries 31 deficiencies on its current record, four of them serious enough to involve actual harm or jeopardy and two tied to abuse. The health inspection rating sits at one star, and the staffing rating matches it, with 67.1% of staff turning over annually against a national average of 45.8%, that churn matters because it's hard to know your aide when the aide keeps changing. Two fines totaling $32,991 are on file, and the most recent inspection was August 2025. This is a 140-bed for-profit run by a corporation, and the quality measure rating, at two stars, is the strongest number here, which isn't saying much.
