Our read on Spurgeon Manor

Spurgeon Manor runs on 5.21 nursing hours per resident per day, which is about a third more than the national average of 3.86. That extra coverage holds up on weekends too, down roughly 8% from its own weekdays, but still well above what most homes staff any day. Staff turnover sits at 36.6%, noticeably under the 45.8% national figure, so the people caring for residents tend to stick around. The nonprofit's inspection record shows 8 deficiencies, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, with a state survey completed in September 2025. Its staffing and quality ratings both come in at 5 out of 5.
