What to ask about before you visit

    CMS flags this facility for citations of abuse that caused harm, or potential for harm, to residents.

Our read on Saint Mary Home

Saint Mary Home runs a tight ship on staffing retention: 23.8% turnover is roughly half the national rate, which matters because consistent caregivers tend to know residents' routines and catch changes early. Nurse staffing sits just under the national average at 3.80 hours per resident day, and weekends dip about 8% below the home's own weekday coverage, so ask how that gap gets filled. The inspection record is the softer spot, 26 deficiencies on file, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse, with the most recent survey in November 2024. Quality measures score well, but the survey history is what a family should read closely.
