You're looking at a hundred-bed for-profit home in Elizabethtown where the numbers tell two different stories. The clinical quality measures look decent, and 19 deficiencies with none at the harm level isn't alarming on its own, but three of those are abuse-related, and that's the kind of thing you ask about directly. What stands out more is the workforce: nurses provide about 3.25 hours of care per resident per day, roughly 16 percent under the national average, and weekends run thinner than weekdays. Staff turnover near 82 percent, against a national 46, means the people showing up are often new. Inspectors last visited in November 2024. Ask how they hold staffing steady on Saturdays.
