Our read on Wedgewood Manor

The staffing hours at Wedgewood Manor look fine on paper, 3.99 per resident day, a bit above the national average, and that's likely why CMS gives it four stars there. But the numbers behind the numbers matter here: turnover runs 53.5% against a national 45.8%, and weekend coverage drops well below its own weekday level. What CMS found on inspection is worse. Twelve deficiencies on record, three serious enough to put residents in harm's way, three tied to abuse, and a $54,925 fine. A one-star inspection rating and one-star quality measures, plus placement in the Special Focus Facility program, tell you regulators are watching closely.
