Our read on Tallahassee Memorial Hospital Extended Care

Tallahassee Memorial Hospital Extended Care runs 8.75 nurse hours per resident day, more than double the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage dips only slightly from its weekday level. Staff turnover sits at 28 percent, well under the 45.8 percent national figure, which matters for residents who need the same faces showing up. Its record shows two deficiencies, neither involving harm or abuse, plus one fine of $8,018, and the last inspection was in January 2024. The nonprofit hospital affiliation and 5/5 ratings across inspections, quality measures, and staffing all point the same direction: this is about as steady as nursing home numbers get.
