Our read on Washington Ctr For Aging Svcs

Washington Ctr For Aging Svcs runs about 4.84 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter above the national average, and its staff turnover of 18.6% is far below the 45.8% norm, people here tend to stay. Weekend coverage dips about 13% below weekday levels, though. The harder reading is in the inspection record: 51 deficiencies, three at harm or jeopardy level, five abuse-related, and three fines totaling $214,785, with the last inspection in July 2024. Strong staffing and stable retention sit alongside a troubled survey history, which is why the two sets of numbers don't point the same direction.
