What to ask about before you visit

These are findings in the public CMS record for this home. They are not our opinion, each one comes straight from a federal inspection or enforcement file.

  • Nursing staff turnover of 85%

    High turnover means residents rarely see the same caregiver twice. The national average is about 50%.

Our read on The Cottage Extended Care

The Cottage Extended Care has 176 beds and is run by an individual for-profit owner. Its nurse staffing sits at 3.95 hours per resident day, just above the national average of 3.86, but that margin is thin, and weekends run about 11% below its own weekday level, which is when families tend to visit and notice. The bigger issue is turnover: 84.7% of staff leave each year, nearly double the national rate of 45.8%. Inspections look decent on paper, with a 4/5 star rating and a recent January 2025 visit, but the current record carries 18 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and three tied to abuse. Quality measures rate 1/5.
