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
This facility has areas of concern that warrant careful consideration. Registered Nurse hours are 96% of the EveryPlace reference benchmark; ask how RN coverage is allocated across shifts. The latest standard survey recorded 18 findings, above the GA average of 6.1. 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 exceptional rehabilitation and nursing care, with frequent praise for the physical and occupational therapy teams and specific, compassionate CNAs. However, some families have reported serious concerns regarding medical neglect, communication breakdowns with social workers, and a lack of continuity due to high use of agency staff.

Key Review Excerpts
“The techs and physical therapists are patient and careful with the patients the social workers are a nightmare! Nedwin is unprofessional, too busy trying to get referral fees for sending families to outside resources to do her job...”
RN hours are below the EveryPlace reference benchmark. RNs handle complex medical needs and medication, so ask about coverage during your visit.
