Questions to take to Careone at the Highlands

  • The published staff-turnover figure is 23.7%. Ask which reporting period it covers and how the current staffing team compares.
  • Ask who is responsible for care decisions locally and at CAREONE. A shared affiliation does not establish identical care at every location.
  • Check the source date and the latest official record before deciding. Bring the issues above to a visit or call rather than treating the profile as a recommendation.
