What this means for your family

This facility has areas of concern that warrant careful consideration. The latest standard survey recorded 29 findings, above the PA average of 10.1. 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.
