Our read on University Heights Health And Living Community
University Heights is county-owned and carries 176 certified beds, and its inspection record is genuinely strong, a 4-out-of-5 health inspection rating and no deficiencies at the harm or jeopardy level. The problem sits in the day-to-day. Total nurse staffing of 3.35 hours per resident day runs roughly 13% under the national average, weekends slip another 13% below the home's own weekday coverage, and turnover hits 50% against a national 45.8%. Two of its 16 deficiencies are abuse-related. The last inspection was May 2026, so that record is reasonably current. Good inspections paired with thin, churning staffing is the tension worth understanding before you visit.
