Providence Seward Mountain Haven runs on a city government license and 40 certified beds, and the staffing numbers are genuinely strong: 6.27 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 62% above the national average. That's the kind of coverage that shows up in daily care. The catch is retention. Annual turnover sits at 75% against a national rate near 46%, so residents likely see a rotating cast of caregivers even though the hours are there. Twenty deficiencies on record, none at harm level, but two tied to abuse. The last inspection was September 2024. Quality and staffing each earned 4 of 5 stars from CMS; health inspection landed at 3.
