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

Health inspection rating: ★☆☆☆☆1/5 · CMS overall rating: 1/5

⚠ The most recent standard health inspection was more than 2 years ago — conditions may have changed.

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.

Most serious findings (actual harm or immediate jeopardy)

▲ Actual harm, one-off · Jan 3, 2025 · F-0689 · triggered by a complaint

The facility did not keep the environment free of accident hazards, or did not provide enough supervision to prevent accidents like falls.

Why it matters: This is one of the most common citations and directly relates to falls and injuries, which can be devastating for older adults.

Severity (G): One or a few residents were actually harmed — physically or emotionally — though not put in immediate danger of serious injury or death.

Corrected: Apr 17, 2025 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)

▲ Actual harm, one-off · Feb 25, 2019 · F-0684

The facility did not provide treatment and care that follows the doctor's orders and matches the resident's own preferences and goals.

Why it matters: Care that strays from doctor's orders or ignores the resident's wishes can lead to declining health and avoidable harm.

Severity (G): One or a few residents were actually harmed — physically or emotionally — though not put in immediate danger of serious injury or death.

Corrected: Apr 2, 2019 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)

▲ Actual harm, one-off · Feb 25, 2019 · F-0689

The facility did not keep the environment free of accident hazards, or did not provide enough supervision to prevent accidents like falls.

Why it matters: This is one of the most common citations and directly relates to falls and injuries, which can be devastating for older adults.

Severity (G): One or a few residents were actually harmed — physically or emotionally — though not put in immediate danger of serious injury or death.

Corrected: Apr 2, 2019 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)

▲ Actual harm, one-off · Nov 9, 2017 · F-0314

The facility did not give residents proper care to prevent new pressure sores (bed sores) or to heal existing ones. Pressure sores are painful skin wounds that develop when someone stays in one position too long, and good nursing care can usually prevent them.

Why it matters: Pressure sores are painful, can become seriously infected, and are often a sign a resident isn't being repositioned or checked regularly.

Severity (G): One or a few residents were actually harmed — physically or emotionally — though not put in immediate danger of serious injury or death.

Corrected: Aug 3, 2017 (Past Non-Compliance)

Feb 25, 2019D · Potential for harm, one-offThe facility did not allow residents to take their own medications when a clinical review showed they could do so safely. Residents have this right if their care team determines it's appropriate.

Nov 9, 2017▲ G · Actual harm, one-offThe facility did not give residents proper care to prevent new pressure sores (bed sores) or to heal existing ones. Pressure sores are painful skin wounds that develop when someone stays in one position too long, and good nursing care can usually prevent them.
Nov 9, 2017E · Potential for harm, repeatedThe facility did not store, cook, or serve food in a safe and clean way.
Nov 9, 2017D · Potential for harm, one-offThe facility used physical restraints — devices that limit a resident's movement — when they weren't needed for medical treatment. Restraints may only be used when medically necessary, not for staff convenience.

Nov 9, 2017D · Potential for harm, one-offThe facility gave residents urinary catheters when they weren't medically necessary, or failed to give residents with bladder control problems the care needed to prevent urinary tract infections and help restore normal bladder function.

Nov 9, 2017D · Potential for harm, one-offThe facility did not keep proper drug records or correctly label medications according to professional standards. Accurate records and labels are how staff know what each medicine is, whose it is, and how to give it safely.
