What this means for your family

We strongly advise scheduling an in-person tour and requesting a meeting with the director to discuss specific care protocols, as online feedback is currently insufficient to evaluate the quality of life or clinical standards.

Questions for Your Tour

  • 1With your facility maintaining a 5-star staffing rating, how do you ensure that level of personalized attention remains consistent for all 22 residents throughout the day?
  • 2I noticed your facility has a very high volume of positive feedback; what specific aspects of your community culture do you think contribute most to residents feeling so happy here?
  • 3Given that you have 5 state violations over the past year, could you walk me through the steps you have taken to address those specific areas and ensure they don't recur?
  • 4Since you have a smaller capacity of 22 residents, how does that intimate setting shape the daily activities and social engagement opportunities for those living here?
  • 5In the event of a sudden medical change, what is your protocol for communicating with families and coordinating care with local medical providers?
  • 6I appreciate how responsive you are to feedback online; how do you incorporate input from families into your ongoing care planning and facility improvements?

3-year lookback · Medicare 2026

1deficiencies
Well below state avg (10.1)

Caritas Center has persistent issues with electrical systems and fire safety across all three federal surveys, with the same deficiencies for emergency power generators and electrical equipment appearing repeatedly from 2021 through 2024. The facility also shows recurring problems with medication management and care planning. While all deficiencies have correction dates, the pattern of repeated violations in critical safety areas raises concerns about lasting compliance.
