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.
No Medicare penalties on record · Staff turnover reported at 29%
This facility has areas of concern that warrant careful consideration. Registered Nurse hours are 45% of the EveryPlace reference benchmark; ask how RN coverage is allocated across shifts. The latest standard survey recorded 22 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 should exercise extreme caution due to serious reports of patient safety issues, including unmanaged patient aggression, frequent falls, and lack of basic hygiene. While some reviewers mention friendly staff and a nice atmosphere, there are significant concerns regarding administrative disorganization and failure to monitor patient wandering.

Key Review Excerpts
“My niece encountered a patient of this facility on the street at 5:20pm wondering around the Fox Theatre. She had a bracelet on her arm that was not hers because when asked what her name was she said it was not the person on the bracelet she was wearing.”
“It’s a nice place and not bad with answering call lights the nurses and staff helps with call lights, also, the vibe in this place very nice managers and staff very friendly.”
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 filed complaints triggering investigations, including recent concerns about resident protection from abuse. This facility shows persistent issues with fire safety systems, medication management, and staff training that recur across multiple surveys. While the provider reports correcting each deficiency, the pattern of repeated violations in critical areas like electrical systems, fire alarm maintenance, and nursing competencies suggests ongoing operational challenges that families should carefully consider before placement.

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.
