Abuse icon on record

Darcy Hall of Life Care runs 220 certified beds in West Palm Beach under for-profit limited liability ownership, and its staffing numbers are genuinely strong: 3.93 nurse hours per resident day, slightly above the national average, with a 5/5 CMS staffing star and 27.2% turnover that's well below the 45.8% national figure. Weekends dip about 10% below weekday coverage, worth asking about. The trouble sits in inspections, where it holds a 1/5 star rating, 28 deficiencies on record, including 2 at harm or jeopardy level and 4 abuse-related, plus a $30,924 fine and a January 2025 inspection. Ask to see the plan of correction before you decide.

Abuse icon on record

Garden Terrace runs a 163-bed for-profit operation where the day-to-day staffing looks decent on paper, 4.05 nurse hours per resident, a bit above the national average, with turnover at 41.7% compared to 45.8% nationally. But weekends drop about 7% below the home's own weekday coverage, and the inspection record is where the picture turns: 49 deficiencies on file, five of them serious enough to put residents in harm's way, three tied to abuse, and six fines totaling $104,116. The last inspection was May 2025, so this isn't stale history. Good staffing numbers and a clean quality measure score can coexist with real problems, and here they do, the state has cited this building repeatedly at the level that matters most.

Life Care Center of Grandview runs 172 certified beds as a for-profit corporate home, and the staffing numbers are the place to start: 3.53 nurse hours per resident day, about 8% under the national average, with weekends dipping roughly 13% below its own weekday level. Turnover sits at 42.2%, a touch better than the 45.8% national figure. The current record shows 56 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and six tied to abuse. A recent March 2026 inspection and a 2/5 health inspection rating sit alongside a 4/5 quality measure score, which tells you the day-to-day care metrics look stronger than the survey history.

Life Care Center of Hilton Head runs about 3.69 nursing hours per resident day, roughly 5% under the national average, and weekend staffing drops around 14% below its own weekday level. Staff turnover sits at 56.3%, well above the 45.8% national figure, that's more than half the nursing staff leaving in a year. The current inspection record shows 15 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, with a single fine of $8,281. Its most recent inspection was July 17, 2025. Quality measure scores look strong, but the inspection history and staffing pattern tell a different story.

Abuse icon on record

Life Care Center of Athens runs on a corporate for-profit model with 128 certified beds, and the numbers tell a mixed story. Nurse staffing sits at 3.54 hours per resident day, about 8 percent under the national average, and weekends drop roughly another 10 percent below the home's own weekday levels, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Turnover is genuinely better than most, at 29.4 percent against a national 45.8 percent, which suggests some stability in who's actually at the bedside. What pulls the record down is inspections: a one-star health inspection rating, 16 deficiencies on file including one at harm level and three tied to abuse. The last inspection was March 28, 2026.

Abuse icon on record

Life Care Center of Kennewick runs 136 beds under corporate ownership, and its staffing sits right at the national average, 3.90 nurse hours per resident day against 3.86 nationally. That thin margin matters less than what happens on weekends, when coverage drops about 12% below the home's own weekday level. Turnover runs 47.7%, slightly above the 45.8% national figure. The real concern is the inspection record: 46 deficiencies, including 6 at harm or jeopardy level and 14 tied to abuse, with two fines totaling $60,246. A recent inspection in November 2025 and a 2-star health inspection rating suggest oversight problems persist even as quality measures score well.

Life Care Center of Mount Vernon runs 121 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its last inspection was in April 2025. The record behind that inspection is the real story: 91 deficiencies, including 8 at the harm or jeopardy level and 11 tied to abuse. Four fines add up to $206,734. Staffing sits at 3.84 hours per resident day, roughly a percentage point under the national average, and weekends drop about 13% below the home's own weekday coverage. Annual turnover is 53.4% against a national 45.8%. The quality measure rating is strong and staffing is middling, but inspection history is where families should focus.

Life Care Center of Bridgeton runs on thin nursing coverage. At 3.32 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 14% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly another 15% below its own weekday levels. Staff turnover is the bigger tell: 68.2% annually, well above the 45.8% national figure, which means caregivers are constantly new to residents. The inspection record backs that up, 58 deficiencies, including two at harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse, plus one fine of $21,801. The last inspection was February 2025, so the record is current. Ownership is for-profit, a limited liability company. Quality measures look decent; staffing is where the problems concentrate.

Life Care Center of Red Bank runs 148 certified beds in Chattanooga, and the numbers behind its record are worth sitting with. Nurse staffing sits at 3.59 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and it thins out further on weekends, dropping about 18% below the home's own weekday level. Staff turnover is the bigger flag: 61.2% annually, well above the 45.8% national figure, which means many of the people caring for residents are still learning the building. The current inspection record carries 24 deficiencies, five of them at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, with one fine of $8,512. The most recent inspection was July 2024.

Westchester House runs 159 beds in Chesterfield under corporate ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.29 hours per resident day, roughly 15 percent under the national average, with weekends about 9 percent thinner than weekdays. On top of that, 69 percent of its nursing staff turns over in a year against a national rate near 46 percent, so the people providing hands-on care are constantly changing. The inspection record shows 43 deficiencies, including two at the harm level and three tied to abuse, with one fine of $83,824 and a health inspection rating of 2 out of 5. Its quality measure score is a bright spot at 4 out of 5, but quality numbers rest on the staffing that produces them.

Abuse icon on record

Life Care Center of Andover runs 154 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers that matter most here aren't the quality measures, a 4-out-of-5 there, but the inspection record underneath them. CMS has flagged 58 deficiencies on the current record, including eight serious enough to cite harm or jeopardy and three tied to abuse. Seven fines total $113,851, and the home sits in CMS's Special Focus Facility program, a designation reserved for the small share of homes with persistent serious problems. Staffing runs 3.75 hours per resident day, just under the national average, and drops about 12% on weekends. Turnover is 51.9%, higher than the 45.8% national figure.

Special Focus Facility

Life Care Center of Reno runs 198 beds under corporate ownership, and its staffing sits just a hair above the national average, close enough that the real story is elsewhere. Weekend coverage drops about 19% below weekday levels, which matters when falls and infections don't check the calendar. Turnover is genuinely low at 31.3%, well under the national 45.8%, so caregivers tend to stay. What sinks this home is its inspection record: 55 deficiencies, including two tied to abuse, and CMS has placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, a designation reserved for the most persistently troubled homes. The quality and staffing stars look fine on paper. The survey history is what a family should actually weigh.

Special Focus Facility

Life Care Center of South Las Vegas is a 120-bed for-profit home that CMS has placed in its Special Focus Facility program, a designation reserved for homes with a persistent record of serious problems. The inspection history backs that up: 41 deficiencies on the current record, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse. Staffing sits roughly at the national average, and weekend coverage runs about 10% thinner than weekdays. Turnover is 31.4%, well below the national rate, so the same caregivers tend to stay. The catch is that stable staff haven't translated into clean surveys. Strong quality-measure scores don't offset a record this troubled.

Nurse staffing at Life Care Center of Cape Girardeau runs about 8% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly another 12% below its own weekday levels, meaning the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Turnover is the harder number to sit with: 68.5% annually against a national average of 45.8%, so most of the people caring for residents are relatively new. The inspection record backs that up, 45 deficiencies, 7 serious enough to put residents at harm or jeopardy, and four fines totaling $149,578. The most recent inspection was in May 2025, so the picture is current, not stale. Ownership is corporate and for-profit.
