These current public-data fields deserve follow-up with the facility and the official Medicare record. They are not a clinical risk score or a substitute for an in-person assessment.
No Medicare penalties on record · Staff turnover reported at 26%
This facility has areas of concern that warrant careful consideration. Registered Nurse hours are 96% of the EveryPlace reference benchmark; ask how RN coverage is allocated across shifts. The latest standard survey recorded 40 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 considering this facility will find a highly praised rehabilitation and nursing team, with many reviewers highlighting the exceptional kindness of the CNAs and the professionalism of the administration. However, there are serious, recurring allegations regarding hygiene neglect, such as patients being left in soiled linens, and instances of medical mismanagement. While many praise the cleanliness and food, a subset of reviews warns of significant safety and communication failures.

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.
