Working at Sanford Chamberlain Care Center

Sanford Chamberlain Care Center is a 44-bed nursing home in Chamberlain, South Dakota. Over the 12-month period CMS measures, 37.5% of its registered nurses stopped working here. Across the 80 South Dakota nursing homes CMS reports, the average is 37.6%, so Sanford Chamberlain Care Center keeps its RNs better than 44% of nursing homes in the state.

What this means if you apply here

  • How is weekend RN coverage handled?
  • What keeps your RNs here? Ask the nurses you meet, not only the manager.
