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 41% of the EveryPlace reference benchmark; ask how RN coverage is allocated across shifts. The latest standard survey recorded 21 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 professional and caring staff, with specific praise for administrators and social workers who go the extra mile. However, there are serious concerns regarding facility odors and noise levels, as well as isolated reports of aggressive nursing behavior.

Key Review Excerpts
“Lighthouse took care of my mother for many years. The staff were friendly, helpful, and professional. I live out-of-state and, on the occasions when I would drop by unannounced, I could see that she was well taken care of. Adora (social worker) and David (administrator) often went the extra mile for her.”
“CLEAN FACILITY WITH CARING STAFF WHO MAINTAINS a 'HOME AWAY FROM HOME' EXPERIENCE.”
“Very professional and considerate staff. They took excellent care of my family member. I would recommend this facility.”
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.

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.
