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.

Key Review Excerpts
“My brother had fesices and dirt on him and no one cleaned him up or came to check on him. My cousin and mother (who don't work there) cleaned him up and he was screaming and crying and not 1 staff member came to check on why.”
“He did however receive an open bed sore during his stay that was neither acknowledged nor treated.”
“The facility was very clean, secured, and safe. The staff is caring and helpful with lots of patience. The staff were friendly, and had many activities for the mind, body and soul.”
Both RN and total nursing hours are below the EveryPlace reference benchmarks. Ask the facility how it staffs each shift for current resident needs.

Fire safety deficiencies (including sprinkler systems, fire alarms, and smoke barriers) and care planning failures have persisted through all three inspections from 2019 to 2024, suggesting systemic maintenance and oversight challenges.
