Our read on Rosecrans Care Center

Rosecrans Care Center runs 4.04 nurse hours per resident per day, slightly above the national average, and its staff turnover of 35% is meaningfully better than the 45.8% typical nationwide, that kind of retention usually shows up in more consistent daily care. The catch is the inspection record: 55 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and two abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in April 2025. Weekend staffing also drops about 9% below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins out when families tend to visit. The quality measure score is a bright spot, but the volume of deficiencies and the abuse findings are the parts worth asking about directly before you decide.
