What this means for your family
This facility has areas of concern that warrant careful consideration. Registered Nurse hours are only 26% 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.

Inspection History

The most frequent problems involve fire safety violations, emergency preparedness deficiencies, and nutrition services, with many of the same issues recurring across multiple surveys from 2019 to 2025.
