What this means for your family

This facility has areas of concern that warrant careful consideration. Registered Nurse hours are only 84% of the national benchmark, which can affect medication management and response times. The facility has 24 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.

This facility shows concerning patterns with families filing 26 complaints triggering federal investigations across 14 surveys. The most recurring problems involve care planning and assessment deficiencies, medication management issues, and safety hazards requiring accident prevention. While all deficiencies have correction dates, the persistent nature of similar violations—particularly around care planning, treatment provision, and medication labeling—suggests ongoing operational challenges that families should carefully evaluate during visits.
