Our read on Tockwotton On The Waterfront

Nurse staffing at Tockwotton On The Waterfront runs 4.86 hours per resident day, roughly a quarter above the national average, and the weekend drop of about 16% is worth asking about directly, that's when families tend to visit and notice. Staff turnover sits at 29.1%, well under the national 45.8%, which matters because consistent caregivers learn residents' routines. The trade-off shows in the inspection record: 12 deficiencies, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and a single fine of $8,628. That one harm-level finding is the number to press the administrator on, what happened, and what changed afterward.
