What this means for your family

This facility has areas of concern that warrant careful consideration. Registered Nurse hours are only 82% of the national benchmark, which can affect medication management and response times. The facility has 9 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 persistent problems with fire safety and building maintenance, appearing across all four surveys, along with recurring issues in care planning and medication management.
