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.
This facility has areas of concern that warrant careful consideration. Registered Nurse hours are 63% of the EveryPlace reference benchmark; ask how RN coverage is allocated across shifts. The latest standard survey recorded 25 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 can expect a very clean and well-maintained environment with a staff that is widely praised for being friendly, compassionate, and attentive to residents. While most recent reviews highlight significant improvements and a warm atmosphere, some older reviews mention concerns regarding inconsistent staffing levels and the need for facility updates.

RN hours are below the EveryPlace reference benchmark. RNs handle complex medical needs and medication, so ask about coverage during your visit.
Reference benchmarks (0.75 RN and 4.1 total nursing hours per resident/day) are comparison targets, not current federal minimum requirements.

Detailed Medicare record · up to 3-year lookback
Families have repeatedly filed complaints triggering nearly half of the 81 deficiencies found, with persistent issues in abuse prevention policies, accident safety, and resident rights. Recent serious violations include uncorrected abuse prevention deficiencies as of January 2026 and repeated problems with maintaining safe environments and proper medication management. While most issues show correction dates, the pattern of recurring safety and dignity concerns, particularly from family complaints, suggests ongoing care quality challenges that warrant careful consideration during any visit.

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.
