Our read on Southgate Health Care Center
Southgate runs 140 beds under corporate ownership, and the staffing numbers tell a mixed story: 3.75 nurse hours per resident day sits just under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 11% below the home's own weekday levels. The bigger concern is turnover at 58.4%, well above the 45.8% national figure, that's a lot of unfamiliar faces cycling through. On the inspection side, the record shows 33 deficiencies, four at harm or jeopardy level, two tied to abuse, and $20,170 in fines, with the most recent inspection in April 2025. The quality measure rating of 1 out of 5 is the weakest of its three CMS scores, while staffing earned 3.
