Our read on The Chesapeake
The Chesapeake runs on 4.94 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 28% above the national average of 3.86, which is the main reason it holds a 5/5 staffing rating. That said, weekends dip about 18% below its own weekday coverage, and turnover sits at 47.8%, slightly worse than the 45.8% national figure. Its inspection record shows 28 deficiencies, one tied to abuse, though none reached harm or jeopardy level, and the last survey was in December 2025. Quality measures come in at 5/5. As a nonprofit with 52 beds, the numbers point to strong day-to-day care with some staff-retention and weekend-coverage softness worth asking about directly.
