Our read on Willis-Knighton Extended Care Center

Willis-Knighton Extended Care Center is small, 24 certified beds, and it's run by a nonprofit corporation, which tends to mean the money goes back into the building rather than out to shareholders. Inspectors gave it a clean recent look, with two deficiencies on record and none involving harm or abuse, and the state visited in March 2025. The trouble sits in staffing: that star rating is 1 out of 5, and in a 24-bed home there's little cushion when someone calls in sick. Quality measures land in the middle. A strong inspection record with thin staffing isn't unusual, but it's worth asking how many aides are actually on the floor at night.
