The Klein Center has a lot working in its favor on paper: 4.78 nurse hours per resident day is roughly a quarter more staffing than the national average, and its 23.8% turnover is about half the national rate, which suggests a stable crew. Weekend coverage slips a bit, about 10% below weekdays, so ask how that plays out on Saturdays. The trouble is the inspection record, 14 deficiencies, including two at the harm level and three tied to abuse, plus two fines totaling $65,094. Quality measures score well, but that history is recent, from May 2025.
