Our read on Vernon Green Nursing Home

Vernon Green runs a real staffing advantage, 4.44 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and turnover at 36.2% versus 45.8% nationally. That's the good news, and it's genuine. The trouble sits on the inspection side. Forty-three deficiencies on the current record, three serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, five tied to abuse. One fine of $87,896. A two-star health inspection and two-star quality measure score pull against the five-star staffing. Weekend coverage also drops about 15% below the home's own weekday levels, so the strong average doesn't hold steady across the week. A nonprofit with 60 beds and recent inspection activity in January 2026, worth asking directly about the abuse-related findings and what changed since.
