Families filed complaint reports in 2025 resulting in serious deficiencies for resident abuse protection and failure to properly report suspected incidents. The facility has recurring issues with resident protection from abuse and neglect, accident prevention and safety hazards, and resident rights compliance across multiple surveys from 2019-2025.

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.
