Staff turnover reported at 14%
St Johns Nursing Center has a strong overall Medicare rating. RN hours meet the EveryPlace reference benchmark, which is one useful staffing signal to discuss during a visit. Public reviewers frequently mention: highly regarded physical and occupational therapy teams and select nursing and cna staff noted for kindness and professionalism. Review the component ratings and current source records before deciding.
St. Johns Nursing Center receives highly polarized feedback, with some residents and families praising the physical therapy and individual staff members, while others report severe neglect and communication failures. Recurring complaints highlight significant issues with understaffing, poor hygiene, and difficulty reaching administration or nursing staff by phone. Families should be aware that experiences appear inconsistent, with some reporting excellent care while others describe life-threatening lapses in medical oversight.

Key Review Excerpts
“The nursing and CNA s are are awful with the exception of a few that actually care and do their jobs! My father did great when I had a private CNA for a week.”
“The Physical Therapist and nursing staff are great hardworking people.”
“Irene in recreation/activities is great at what she does. She plans therapeutic activities for the residents and families to participate in and fun special events.”
Total nursing hours are below the EveryPlace reference benchmark, though RN coverage meets its reference level. Ask how aides are staffed for daily tasks such as bathing and mobility.
Reference benchmarks (0.75 RN and 4.1 total nursing hours per resident/day) are comparison targets, not current federal minimum requirements.
