Our read on Waters Of Huntington Skilled Nursing Facility, The

The Waters of Huntington runs on thin nursing coverage, 3.15 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekend staffing dips even lower than its own weekday level. That shortfall shows up in its inspection record: 26 deficiencies, three of them at the level where residents were actually harmed or put in jeopardy, and one tied to abuse. A single fine of $85,480 followed. What's odd is the split in the federal stars: five out of five on quality measures, but one out of five on both staffing and health inspections. Staff turnover, at 43.1%, is slightly better than average, so retention isn't the core problem, the problem is how few hours of nursing care make it to residents each day.
