Our read on Shady Acres Health & Rehabilitation
Shady Acres runs 26 deficiencies on its current record, and seven of those are serious enough to involve actual harm or jeopardy. Six are abuse-related. That combination, plus four fines totaling $144,358, is what put this 84-bed for-profit home into CMS's Special Focus Facility program, a status reserved for the homes the government watches most closely. Staffing hours look adequate on paper at 3.87 per resident day, roughly matching the national average, but weekends run about 14% thinner than weekdays, so coverage depends on when you visit. Annual turnover sits at 40%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure, though the inspection and staffing star ratings both come in at 1 out of 5.
