Our read on Wood-Lawn Heights

Wood-Lawn Heights runs on strong staffing: 4.89 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 27% above the national average, and the 5/5 staffing rating reflects that. Turnover sits at 30.8% against a national 45.8%, which matters because consistent caregivers tend to know residents' routines. Weekend coverage dips about 17% below weekday levels, so ask how that plays out on Saturdays and Sundays. The concerning part is quality measures, where the home scores 1/5. Thirteen deficiencies are on record, two at harm or jeopardy level, though none are abuse-related, and fines total $12,695. The most recent inspection was August 2025. As a nonprofit, it isn't answering to shareholders, but ask directly what's behind those two serious deficiencies and the low quality scores.
