What health inspectors found (on-site government inspections — the most independent evidence available)

Health inspection rating: ★★★★☆4/5 · CMS overall rating: 4/5

The health inspection star above is graded on a curve within each state — a set share of each state's facilities gets each star level — so a facility can have few citations and still rate 2–3 stars if others in its state did even better. The overall rating combines that inspection score with staffing and self-reported quality measures.

All citations in the current public record (9)

CMS publishes roughly the last three inspection cycles plus recent complaint investigations. Older surveys drop out of the record as new ones are completed.

Date	Severity	What the facility was cited for
Mar 11, 2026	D · Potential for harm, one-off	The facility did not make reasonable adjustments to fit each resident's individual needs and preferences — things like call buttons within reach, preferred wake-up times, or accessible room setups.
Mar 11, 2026	D · Potential for harm, one-off	The facility did not provide safe and appropriate respiratory care — such as oxygen, breathing treatments, or care for residents on breathing equipment — for residents who needed it.
Mar 11, 2026	D · Potential for harm, one-off	The facility did not provide pharmacy services that meet each resident's needs, or did not employ or contract with a licensed pharmacist.
Feb 27, 2025	D · Potential for harm, one-off	The facility did not keep its building and grounds safe, functional, clean, and comfortable for residents, staff, and visitors.
Feb 27, 2025	C · Minimal risk, facility-wide	The facility did not dispose of garbage and refuse properly.
Mar 1, 2024	E · Potential for harm, repeated	The facility did not make sure special medical diets — like low-sodium or diabetic diets — were properly ordered by the resident's doctor or managed by a qualified dietitian as state law allows.
Mar 1, 2024	D · Potential for harm, one-off	The facility did not make reasonable adjustments to fit each resident's individual needs and preferences — things like call buttons within reach, preferred wake-up times, or accessible room setups.
Mar 1, 2024	D · Potential for harm, one-off	The facility did not accurately assess a resident's health and needs. Assessments are the foundation for all the care a resident receives.
Mar 1, 2024	D · Potential for harm, one-off	The facility did not keep the environment free of accident hazards, or did not provide enough supervision to prevent accidents like falls.

Nurse staffing (from payroll records, adjusted for how much care residents need)

Measure	This facility	Pennsylvania avg	U.S. avg	Where it stands
Total nurse staffing (hours per resident per day)	2.90	3.94	3.95	bottom 7% in Pennsylvania; bottom 11% in the U.S.
Registered Nurse hours	0.46	0.80	0.69	bottom 18% in Pennsylvania; bottom 31% in the U.S.
Weekend total nurse staffing	2.67	3.58	3.50	bottom 8% in Pennsylvania; bottom 15% in the U.S.
Weekend RN hours (not acuity-adjusted)	0.36	0.56	0.48	bottom 37% in Pennsylvania; bottom 45% in the U.S.
Total nursing staff turnover (%)	54.0	44.5	45.8	bottom 25% in Pennsylvania; bottom 27% in the U.S.
RN turnover (%)	63.2	39.9	42.9	bottom 13% in Pennsylvania; bottom 17% in the U.S.

Hours are per resident per day, case-mix adjusted by CMS so facilities caring for sicker residents can be compared fairly (same basis as the CMS staffing star). "Top X%" means better than most facilities: more staffing hours, or lower turnover. Raw (unadjusted) reported hours: total 3.27, RN 0.52, weekend 3.01. Staffing rating: 1/5.

Self-reported quality measures

Note: these ratings are based on data the facility reports about itself to CMS. They are not independently verified by inspectors, and can look better than inspection findings. Give more weight to the inspection results above.

Quality measures rating: 5/5 · long-stay residents: 5/5 · short-stay residents: 4/5
