Our read on Wheatland Nursing & Rehabilitation Center
Wheatland runs a tight ship on the things that matter most. The health inspection record is clean, five stars, nine deficiencies on file with none rising to harm or jeopardy, and no abuse citations, and that inspection happened recently, in June 2025. Staff turnover sits at 31%, well under the national average of 45.8%, which suggests people stick around here. The tradeoff is daily coverage: 3.75 nurse hours per resident is a bit under the national 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 14% below weekdays, so a Saturday or Sunday shift may feel thinner than a Tuesday. For-profit corporate ownership, 45 beds, and mid-range quality measures round out the picture. Solid, not spotless.
