These current public-data fields deserve follow-up with the facility and the official Medicare record. They are not a clinical risk score or a substitute for an in-person assessment.
No Medicare penalties on record
This facility has areas of concern that warrant careful consideration. The latest standard survey recorded 9 findings, above the RI average of 8.7. 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.
St Clare Home receives polarized feedback, with many families praising the facility for its clean environment, beautiful grounds, and kind, attentive staff. However, recent and historical reviews highlight significant concerns regarding staffing levels, particularly on weekends, and inconsistent quality of care and food service. Families should be aware that while many report positive experiences, others have encountered issues with slow response times and unprofessional staff behavior.

Key Review Excerpts
“The nurses, therapists and caretakers were outstanding — caring, patient, professional and kind. The grounds are beautiful as they are part of an old church and third floor has a covered balcony with views of the water.”
“While visiting my friends mother on the rehab unit, I watched her wait over a half hour for someone to answer her light for the bathroom. Once someone did respond, I was told that “she had to wait because she’s not the only one that needs care””

EveryPlace is a research directory. Facility information is compiled from public sources — Medicare.gov, state licensing portals, Google Places, and publicly available street-level imagery. Some summaries, interpretations, suggested questions, and pricing research are AI-generated or AI-assisted and may contain errors or omit important context. Listings do not constitute endorsement, recommendation, or advertisement, and we do not accept payment for placement. Families should verify all details directly with the facility and the original sources linked above before making any care decisions. See our Research Policy for our editorial standards, correction process, and image-removal policy.
