Our read on St Catherines Living Center

St. Catherine's Living Center runs about 3.41 nursing hours per resident day, roughly 12% under the national average, and weekends dip another 14% below its own weekday coverage. That staffing pattern is worth weighing against a 56.4% annual turnover rate, well above the 45.8% national figure, so the people providing care change often. The inspection record shows seven deficiencies, three at harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, with three fines totaling $56,329 and a survey completed January 28, 2026. As a nonprofit corporation with 49 certified beds, its quality and health inspection ratings both sit at two stars.
