Well below state avg (12.0)

This facility shows a concerning pattern with persistent registered nurse staffing violations across all three surveys from 2022-2024, indicating ongoing challenges maintaining required nursing coverage. The most recurring issues involve nursing staffing, medication management, and room size requirements, with the latter receiving a waiver in 2023 but reappearing in 2024. While all deficiencies show correction dates, the repeated staffing problems suggest families should inquire specifically about current nursing coverage and stability.
