The certified beds number 140, yet on average about 78 residents are there each day, and the nursing staff provides about 3.2 hours of care per resident daily, but there's been a high nurse turnover rate around 54.5% and a record of infection-related issues, as well as past deficiencies linked to abuse, neglect, and pest control, so that's something to be aware of, and they're a for-profit limited liability company, but the main thing is, for people looking for a large facility with chronic care, rehabilitation, skilled nursing, and plenty of chances to join in group activities, Colfax Reunion Nursing and Rehabilitation Center covers all those basics, and tries to improve and support the quality of life and independence for residents as best as it can with the staff and services it offers.
