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

Health inspection rating: ★☆☆☆☆1/5 · 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.

Most serious findings (actual harm or immediate jeopardy)

▲ Immediate jeopardy, one-off · Jun 9, 2026 · F-0711

The facility did not make sure the resident's doctor reviewed their care and wrote, signed, and dated progress notes and orders at each required visit.

Why it matters: Without regular documented doctor reviews, changes in a resident's condition and treatment can slip through the cracks.

Severity (J): Inspectors found a situation that put a resident's life or safety in immediate danger, affecting one or a few residents. The facility must fix it immediately — these citations often come with large fines.

Corrected: Jul 1, 2026 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)

▲ Immediate jeopardy, one-off · Jun 9, 2026 · F-0755 · triggered by a complaint

The facility did not provide pharmacy services that meet each resident's needs, or did not employ or contract with a licensed pharmacist.

Why it matters: Weak pharmacy services lead to medication mistakes, delays, and missed drug interactions that can seriously harm residents.

Corrected: Jul 1, 2026 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)

▲ Immediate jeopardy, one-off · Jun 9, 2026 · F-0756

The facility did not have a licensed pharmacist review each resident's complete medication regimen and medical chart every month, or did not follow its own rules for reporting medication problems.

Why it matters: Skipped pharmacist reviews allow unnecessary drugs, wrong doses, and harmful interactions to go undetected.

Corrected: Jul 1, 2026 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)

▲ Immediate jeopardy, one-off · Jun 9, 2026 · F-0760

The facility did not keep residents free from significant medication errors — such as giving the wrong drug, the wrong dose, or missing a critical medication.

Why it matters: A serious medication error can cause real harm, hospitalization, or worse.

Corrected: Jul 1, 2026 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)

Mar 13, 2025	D · Potential for harm, one-off	The facility did not keep residents' medications free from unnecessary drugs. Residents should only take medicines they truly need, at the right dose, for a clear reason.

Jan 25, 2024	D · Potential for harm, one-off	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.

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

Measure	This facility	North Carolina avg	U.S. avg	Where it stands
Total nurse staffing (hours per resident per day)	3.12	4.01	3.95	bottom 10% in North Carolina; bottom 18% in the U.S.
Registered Nurse hours	0.46	0.64	0.69	bottom 36% in North Carolina; bottom 31% in the U.S.

RN turnover (%)	47.1	45.7	42.9	bottom 47% in North Carolina; bottom 40% 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 3.10, RN 0.46, weekend 2.77. Staffing rating: 2/5.

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: 2/5 · short-stay residents: 2/5
