This facility has areas of concern that warrant careful consideration. Registered Nurse hours are 48% of the EveryPlace reference benchmark; ask how RN coverage is allocated across shifts. The latest standard survey recorded 38 findings, above the CA average of 15.4. We recommend asking the administrator directly: "How are you addressing recent staffing shortfalls?" These are not reasons to panic, but they are reasons to ask tough questions and visit in person.
Families should exercise extreme caution when considering this facility due to severe allegations of physical neglect, loss of personal property, and inadequate COVID-19 protocols. While some long-term residents' families praise the nursing staff's attentiveness to dementia care, multiple reviewers report unprofessional behavior, rude staff, and significant staffing shortages.

Key Review Excerpts
“The staff is caring and extremely attentive to her care and well being. Caring for dementia patients is not easy, as no two patients are alike. The one thing that is consistent with all the patients is that they are require a tremendous amount of patience and care.”
“Staff was nice but my mother was found numorous times with a busted up face from being hit and I always got different excuses.”
“My experience with this nursing home has been extremely disappointing. Many of the staff members I interacted with were unhelpful and came across as unprofessional.”
Both RN and total nursing hours are below the EveryPlace reference benchmarks. Ask the facility how it staffs each shift for current resident needs.
Reference benchmarks (0.75 RN and 4.1 total nursing hours per resident/day) are comparison targets, not current federal minimum requirements.

Original nursing home datasets
EveryPlace is a research directory. Facility information is compiled from public sources — Medicare.gov, state licensing portals, Google Places, and publicly available street-level imagery. Some summaries, interpretations, suggested questions, and pricing research are AI-generated or AI-assisted and may contain errors or omit important context. Listings do not constitute endorsement, recommendation, or advertisement, and we do not accept payment for placement. Families should verify all details directly with the facility and the original sources linked above before making any care decisions. See our Research Policy for our editorial standards, correction process, and image-removal policy.
These are the 6 closest facilities in our data within 10 miles. Proximity does not mean they provide the same care type or have stronger quality signals, so compare each profile and verify services directly.
