What this means for your family

This facility has areas of concern that warrant careful consideration. Registered Nurse hours are only 81% of the national benchmark, which can affect medication management and response times. The facility has 21 deficiencies, which is above the state average. 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.

This facility has a concerning pattern of multiple family complaints triggering federal inspections, with 11 complaint-based deficiencies spanning infection control, resident safety, and abuse response issues. The most recurring problems involve infection prevention and control, emergency preparedness, and fire safety systems, with infection control deficiencies appearing repeatedly across surveys from 2023-2024. While all violations show correction dates, the persistent nature of these core care areas and the frequency of family-initiated complaints suggest ongoing operational challenges that families should carefully evaluate during visits.
