Overview

Servicios Integrados de Rehabilitación (SIRO) Inc has a Trust Grade of B, indicating it is a good option for families, though not among the very best. It ranks #5 out of 6 nursing homes in Puerto Rico, placing it in the bottom half of facilities in the state, but it is the only option in Hormigueros County. Unfortunately, the facility is worsening, with issues increasing from 6 in 2024 to 9 in 2025. Staffing is a strength, as they have a low turnover rate of 0%, significantly better than the state average, but they have less RN coverage than 85% of other facilities, which could impact care. While there have been no fines, concerns were raised about several incidents, including staff failing to wash their hands before entering resident rooms, improper food storage practices, and inaccuracies in resident assessments, highlighting areas that need improvement despite some positive aspects.

Is Servicios Integrados De Rehabilitacion (Siro) Inc on Any Federal Watch List?
