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 64%
High turnover means residents rarely see the same caregiver twice. The national average is about 50%.
Our read on The Springs Of Fairfield Bay
The Springs of Fairfield Bay sits about even with the national average on nurse staffing hours per resident day, but that average hides a gap: weekends run roughly 15 percent thinner than weekdays, so the coverage your family member gets depends on which day it is. Staff turnover is the bigger concern at 63.6 percent, well above the 45.8 percent national average, which means caregivers are cycling through faster than most homes. On the plus side, the inspection record is clean where it matters most: nine deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with a recent February 2026 inspection and a four-star health inspection rating. The quality measures are strong at five stars. If you're weighing this home, ask specifically about weekend coverage and how they keep consistent caregivers.
