Our read on Southfork River Therapy And Living

Southfork River Therapy And Living sits in Salem with 84 certified beds and for-profit LLC ownership, and its inspection record is the standout: five deficiencies on file, none at the harm level, none tied to abuse, and a survey completed just this March. Staffing is thinner than it looks on paper, 3.80 nurse hours per resident day runs slightly under the national 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 12% below the home's own weekday coverage, so questions about Saturday and Sunday care are fair ones. Turnover of 41.9% is better than the 45.8% national figure, though it still means a lot of new faces. Strong surveys, average hands-on time.
