Abuse citation flag (CMS)

What health inspectors found (on-site government inspections — the most independent evidence available)
Health inspection rating: ★★☆☆☆2/5 · CMS overall rating: 3/5
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)
▲ Actual harm, repeated · May 2, 2024 · F-0880 · triggered by a complaint
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.
Why it matters: Weak infection control lets illnesses like flu, COVID-19, and drug-resistant infections spread quickly among vulnerable residents.
Severity (H): Multiple residents were actually harmed by the same failure — a pattern of real harm, not an isolated incident.

| Date | Severity | What the facility was cited for |
|---|---|---|
| Nov 14, 2025 | F · Potential for harm, facility-wide | The facility did not get its food from approved, safe sources, or did not store, prepare, and serve food according to professional food safety standards. |
| Nov 14, 2025 | E · Potential for harm, repeated | The facility did not honor residents' right to voice complaints without discrimination or retaliation, or did not have a working complaint process that resolves issues promptly. |

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) | 2.99 | 3.94 | 3.95 | bottom 11% in Pennsylvania; bottom 14% in the U.S. |
| Registered Nurse hours | 1.17 | 0.80 | 0.69 | top 15% in Pennsylvania; top 10% in the U.S. |
| Weekend total nurse staffing | 2.66 | 3.58 | 3.50 | bottom 8% in Pennsylvania; bottom 15% in the U.S. |
| Weekend RN hours (not acuity-adjusted) | 1.08 | 0.56 | 0.48 | top 7% in Pennsylvania; top 5% in the U.S. |
| Total nursing staff turnover (%) | 58.6 | 44.5 | 45.8 | bottom 14% in Pennsylvania; bottom 18% in the U.S. |
| RN turnover (%) | 42.9 | 39.9 | 42.9 | bottom 43% in Pennsylvania; bottom 49% 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 3.59, RN 1.40, weekend 3.19. Staffing rating: 2/5.
Self-reported quality measures
