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

Health inspection rating: ★★☆☆☆2/5 · CMS overall rating: 1/5

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 (44)

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
Jun 25, 2026	E · Potential for harm, repeated	The facility did not provide a safe, clean, comfortable, and homelike environment, including safe support for residents' daily living needs. · from a complaint
Jun 25, 2026	D · Potential for harm, one-off	The facility did not run an ongoing quality assurance committee that reviews care problems and creates plans to fix them. · from a complaint
May 8, 2026	E · Potential for harm, repeated	The facility did not provide a safe, clean, comfortable, and homelike environment, including safe support for residents' daily living needs.
May 8, 2026	E · Potential for harm, repeated	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.
May 8, 2026	E · Potential for harm, repeated	The facility did not provide food that accounts for each resident's allergies, intolerances, and personal preferences, or did not offer appealing alternatives.
May 8, 2026	E · Potential for harm, repeated	The facility did not run an ongoing quality assurance committee that reviews care problems and creates plans to fix them.

May 8, 2026	D · Potential for harm, one-off	The facility did not provide care that took into account residents' past trauma or their cultural backgrounds. Care is supposed to be sensitive to what residents have lived through and where they come from.
May 8, 2026	D · Potential for harm, one-off	The facility did not have a working call system — the button or cord residents use to summon help — in each resident's bathroom and bathing area.
May 8, 2026	C · Minimal risk, facility-wide	The facility did not make sure a transfer or discharge met the resident's needs and preferences, or did not properly prepare the resident to leave safely.
May 8, 2026	C · Minimal risk, facility-wide	The facility did not provide required paperwork or notices about a resident's needs, their right to appeal a transfer or discharge, or the facility's bed-hold policy (how long a bed is saved during a hospital stay).
Jan 21, 2026	D · Potential for harm, one-off	The facility did not develop and follow policies and procedures to prevent abuse, neglect, and theft. These written safeguards are the foundation of resident protection. · from a complaint

Jun 6, 2025	E · Potential for harm, repeated	The facility did not treat residents with dignity and respect, or did not honor their rights to make their own decisions and communicate freely. This is one of the most fundamental resident rights.

Jun 6, 2025	E · Potential for harm, repeated	The facility did not have or follow an effective program to prevent and control infections — such as proper hand washing, cleaning, and isolation practices. This is the most commonly cited deficiency nationwide.
Jun 6, 2025	D · Potential for harm, one-off	The facility did not let a resident help develop and carry out their own plan of care — the written roadmap of the services and support they'll receive, built around their personal goals and preferences.

Jan 10, 2025	D · Potential for harm, one-off	The facility did not protect residents' right to refuse certain moves within the nursing home that they did not ask for, such as being switched between units. Residents have a say in where they live inside the facility. · from a complaint

Nov 26, 2024	D · Potential for harm, one-off	The facility did not honor residents' right to share a room with their spouse or a roommate of their choosing, or moved residents to a different room without written notice beforehand. · from a complaint

Aug 23, 2024	D · Potential for harm, one-off	The facility's bedrooms did not give residents visual privacy — such as curtains or dividers — when privacy is needed.
May 15, 2024	D · Potential for harm, one-off	The facility did not protect residents from abuse or neglect. This covers physical, mental, and sexual abuse, physical punishment, and neglect, by anyone — staff, other residents, or visitors. · from a complaint
May 15, 2024	D · Potential for harm, one-off	The facility did not respond appropriately to alleged violations, such as reports of abuse, neglect, or mistreatment. Facilities must investigate every allegation and protect residents while they do. · from a complaint

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)	3.52	3.94	3.95	bottom 43% in Pennsylvania; bottom 37% in the U.S.
Registered Nurse hours	0.39	0.80	0.69	bottom 8% in Pennsylvania; bottom 21% in the U.S.
Weekend total nurse staffing	3.19	3.58	3.50	bottom 42% in Pennsylvania; bottom 41% in the U.S.
Weekend RN hours (not acuity-adjusted)	0.21	0.56	0.48	bottom 5% in Pennsylvania; bottom 14% in the U.S.
Total nursing staff turnover (%)	65.6	44.5	45.8	bottom 6% in Pennsylvania; bottom 9% in the U.S.
RN turnover (%)	68.4	39.9	42.9	bottom 8% in Pennsylvania; bottom 13% 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 3.62, RN 0.40, weekend 3.29. 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: 2/5 · long-stay residents: 3/5 · short-stay residents: 2/5
