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.
Medicare Special Focus status indicates a history of serious quality problems and heightened oversight. Review the latest inspection records, ask what corrective actions remain open, and visit in person before deciding.
Families should exercise significant caution due to frequent reports of severe neglect, including improper hygiene, unaddressed wounds, and inadequate monitoring. While some recent reviews praise a new management team and effective physical therapy, a recurring pattern of understaffing and poor communication persists.

Key Review Excerpts
“We had such incredible care from our nurses and CNA's. Lucy, Catherine, Hata, Esther, Jaqueline..and SO many more. Yall were so good to us!”
“I arrived in the afternoon on a weekday and noticed my grandfather was in a diaper so wet that I could have rung it out myself, and had sheets that clearly had not been changed in days!”
“My loved one spent a month here recovering after a stroke. The staff was kind and friendly and the facility was clean.”
Both RN and total nursing hours are below the EveryPlace reference benchmarks. Ask the facility how it staffs each shift for current resident needs.
Reference benchmarks (0.75 RN and 4.1 total nursing hours per resident/day) are comparison targets, not current federal minimum requirements.

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.
