What this means for your family

The facility has 37 deficiencies, which is above the state average. This facility is on Medicare Special Focus status, indicating a pattern of serious quality issues. 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.
