What this means for your family

This facility has areas of concern that warrant careful consideration. Registered Nurse hours are only 37% of the national benchmark, which can affect medication management and response times. The facility has 11 deficiencies, which is above the state average. We recommend asking the administrator directly: "How are you addressing recent staffing shortfalls?" These are not reasons to panic, but they are reasons to ask tough questions and visit in person.

Families have filed complaints that triggered inspections finding serious issues with abuse protection and wound care, both reportedly corrected. Diamond Care Center shows recurring problems with nursing staffing, care planning, and infection control across all three surveys, though the facility has provided correction dates for each deficiency. The repeated staffing and care quality issues suggest ongoing operational challenges that families should discuss directly with administrators before making placement decisions.
