Our read on Waters Of Lagrange Skilled Nursing Facility, The

The Waters of Lagrange is a 100-bed for-profit run by a corporation, and its numbers tell two different stories. Nurse staffing sits at 3.37 hours per resident day, about 13% under the national average, and weekends run roughly 10% leaner than weekdays, that's the kind of gap families feel on a Sunday afternoon. Inspections back that up: a 2-out-of-5 health inspection rating and 36 deficiencies on record, including one at the harm level and 10 tied to abuse. Turnover is 40%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure, and quality measures score 5 out of 5. But a staffing rating of 1 out of 5, with the most recent inspection in September 2025, is the number to weigh hardest.
