Our read on St Mary's D'youville Pavilion

St Mary's D'youville Pavilion runs 210 beds under nonprofit ownership, and the staffing numbers are genuinely better than most: 4.01 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends only about 2% lighter than weekdays. That consistency matters. What pulls the record down is inspection history, 28 deficiencies on file, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, plus a $22,205 fine and a one-star health inspection rating, though the most recent survey was March 2025. Staff turnover sits at 50%, above the 45.8% national figure. Quality measures score well. The pattern here is a home that's well-staffed on paper but has real compliance problems to ask about directly.
