What to ask about before you visit

    Ratings here are based on older survey data than at most facilities.

Our read on Sheepshead Nursing & Rehabilitation Center

Sheepshead runs leaner than the typical U.S. nursing home on nursing hours, 3.69 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 11% below its own weekday staffing, which is worth asking about if most of your visits would fall on Saturdays or Sundays. The good news sits in the turnover number: 25.1% is well under the national 45.8%, so the aides and nurses around your family member are more likely to still be there next year. The current record shows 17 deficiencies, none at the harm level, one tied to abuse, and the last inspection was April 2024.
