Our read on Wharton Nursing And Rehabilitation Center
Wharton Nursing and Rehabilitation Center runs on 3.06 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a fifth below the national average, and weekend coverage drops another 14% below its own weekday level. That thin margin shows up in the numbers: 18 deficiencies on the current record, four serious enough to put residents in harm's way, one tied to abuse, and two fines totaling $62,525. Staff turnover sits at 65.3% against a national 45.8%, which means the aides and nurses who know your mother's routines are leaving faster than replacements learn them. The hospital district ownership doesn't change what the staffing data says. The last inspection was May 28, 2026.
