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

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

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, one-off · Aug 9, 2023 · 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: Dec 6, 2023 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)

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

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

Measure	This facility	District of Columbia avg	U.S. avg	Where it stands
Total nurse staffing (hours per resident per day)	4.59	4.76	3.95	bottom 47% in District of Columbia; top 21% in the U.S.
Registered Nurse hours	1.61	1.48	0.69	top 20% in District of Columbia; top 4% in the U.S.
Weekend total nurse staffing	4.52	4.35	3.50	top 40% in District of Columbia; top 12% in the U.S.
Weekend RN hours (not acuity-adjusted)	1.47	1.28	0.48	top 27% in District of Columbia; top 2% in the U.S.
Total nursing staff turnover (%)	25.5	34.0	45.8	top 20% in District of Columbia; top 8% in the U.S.
RN turnover (%)	36.8	32.5	42.9	bottom 47% in District of Columbia; top 41% 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 4.49, RN 1.57, weekend 4.42. Staffing rating: 5/5.

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.
