Our read on The Pearl Nursing Center Of Rochester

The Pearl Nursing Center of Rochester runs on 3.04 nurse staffing hours per resident day, about a fifth below the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 11 percent below its own weekday level, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Staff turnover sits at 51.5 percent against a 45.8 percent national figure, which means more than half the nursing staff turns over annually. Its record shows 40 deficiencies, including two tied to abuse, with the most recent inspection in June 2024; the low inspection and staffing ratings reflect that history, even though the quality measure rating is strong.
