0 Homewood facilities exceed CMS staffing recommendations. Families prioritizing staffing should look for facilities with the "Top Staffing" badge and ask specifically about RN hours during facility visits.
Ownership: An All For-Profit Market
Homewood has no non-profit nursing homes—all 2 facilities with reported ownership data are for-profit operations. 1 of 2 facility is chain-owned, meaning these facilities are part of larger corporate systems rather than independently operated.
