Our read on Wentz Living Center
Wentz Living Center runs 36 certified beds in Napoleon under nonprofit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.95 hours per resident day, roughly 28% above the national average of 3.86. That's a real margin, though weekend coverage drops about 19% below its own weekday level, so the weekday numbers aren't the whole picture. The home's inspection record shows five deficiencies, one of them serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, with no abuse citations, and one fine totaling $13,627. Its last inspection was March 25, 2026, which is recent. A 4/5 inspection rating and 4/5 staffing rating are doing real work here; the quality measure score of 3/5 and that single harm-level deficiency are what pull the overall picture down.
