Our read on Signature Healthcare At Summerfield Rehab & Wellne

Nurse staffing at this 165-bed for-profit home runs 3.98 hours per resident day, slightly above the national average of 3.86, but weekends drop roughly 17% below its own weekday level, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. The bigger issue is the inspection record: 28 deficiencies, five serious enough to put residents in harm's way, and two fines totaling $182,488, all as of a May 2025 visit. Staff turnover sits at 64.7% against a national 45.8%, meaning nearly two-thirds of the caregiver workforce turns over each year. Strong quality-measure scores don't offset that kind of churn and oversight history.
