Our read on Sterling Nursing And Rehab
Sterling Nursing and Rehab is county-owned, and the staffing reflects that: 5.35 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 39% above the national average. That's the strongest thing in the numbers, though weekends run about 19% lighter than weekdays, and turnover sits at 53.3% against a national 45.8%, people are cycling through here faster than average. The inspection record shows 13 deficiencies, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and none tied to abuse. The last state visit was September 2025. Four stars on inspections, quality measures, and staffing put this home solidly above middle ground, with the open question being whether that staffing cushion holds up when turnover keeps grinding.
