What this means for your family
This facility has areas of concern that warrant careful consideration. Registered Nurse hours are only 85% of the national benchmark, which can affect medication management and response times. 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 have filed complaints that triggered inspections, including recent issues with accident prevention and care quality standards. While the facility corrects violations when cited, the pattern of repeat problems in critical areas like infection prevention (found deficient in 2022, 2023, and 2025) and inadequate nursing coverage raises concerns about sustained quality improvement.
