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 67% of the EveryPlace reference benchmark; ask how RN coverage is allocated across shifts. The latest standard survey recorded 17 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 may find comfort in the facility's ability to improve patient happiness and physical well-being, as several reviewers noted significant improvements in their loved ones' health and spirits. However, there are serious allegations regarding inadequate patient monitoring, lack of communication between staff, and instances of neglect regarding basic hygiene and call button availability.

Key Review Excerpts
“The moment she was switched to Intercommunity, she was the happiest and most bubbliest person ever. You can see how well taken care of she was, and she was also the favorite of the nurse”
“I visited him once and it took one visit to say the front desk is friendly. The waiting area seemed cleaned. However once in, the staff need to be more considered of patients. I had to help a patient with what she needed.”
“The food here is 100% better than the last place. The staff here is extremely attentive compared to the last, checking in with her and following through with her requests.”
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.

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.
