Our read on Riverside Lifelong Health & Rehabilitation Sanders
Riverside Lifelong Health & Rehabilitation Sanders runs on unusually deep nurse staffing, 4.59 hours per resident day, roughly 19% above the national average, which is the main reason it holds a 5-star staffing rating. Weekends dip about 12% below its own weekday coverage, so ask how that plays out on a Saturday. The 34.6% turnover is better than the 45.8% national figure but still means about a third of staff left in a year. Inspections in July 2023 turned up 23 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, which sits oddly beside the 4-star inspection rating. Nonprofit ownership, 55 beds, quality measures middling at 3 stars.
