Our read on Surprise Valley Community Hospital D/P Snf
Surprise Valley Community Hospital's skilled nursing unit is a 22-bed government-run operation in Cedarville, and the staffing numbers here tell an unusual story. Total nursing time runs 4.87 hours per resident day, roughly a quarter above the national average, with weekends barely dipping below weekday coverage, which matters in a small rural home where backup staff aren't easy to call in. Inspections in May 2025 turned up 22 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, though four were abuse-related; that's a lot of paperwork findings for a building this size, and worth asking about directly. The hospital district owns it, so there's no corporate parent to chase if something goes wrong.
