What health inspectors found (on-site government inspections — the most independent evidence available)
Health inspection rating: ★★★★★5/5 · 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.
All citations in the current public record (3)
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 |
|---|---|---|
| Jan 8, 2026 | C · Minimal risk, facility-wide | The facility did not dispose of garbage and refuse properly. |
| Dec 19, 2024 | D · Potential for harm, one-off | The facility did not provide a safe, clean, comfortable, and homelike environment, including safe support for residents' daily living needs. |
| Dec 19, 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. |
Inspection trend by year
Citations from standard inspections decreased between the last two inspection cycles (2 → 1).
| Year | Citations | Serious (G–L) | Worst severity that year |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 2 | 0 | D |
| 2026 | 1 | 0 | C |
Counts reflect the current CMS public record (~3 inspection cycles plus complaint investigations); years with no surveys show no row. Inspection frequency varies, so compare severity as well as counts.
Fines and enforcement (last 3 years)
No fines or payment denials in the published 3-year window.
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) | 4.22 | 3.94 | 3.95 | top 30% in Pennsylvania; top 31% in the U.S. |
| Registered Nurse hours | 1.42 | 0.80 | 0.69 | top 9% in Pennsylvania; top 6% in the U.S. |
| Weekend total nurse staffing | 3.76 | 3.58 | 3.50 | top 32% in Pennsylvania; top 31% in the U.S. |
| Weekend RN hours (not acuity-adjusted) | 1.30 | 0.56 | 0.48 | top 4% in Pennsylvania; top 3% in the U.S. |
| Total nursing staff turnover (%) | 29.4 | 44.5 | 45.8 | top 14% in Pennsylvania; top 13% in the U.S. |
| RN turnover (%) | 25.0 | 39.9 | 42.9 | top 21% in Pennsylvania; top 20% 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 4.89, RN 1.64, weekend 4.36. 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.
Quality measures rating: 4/5 · long-stay residents: 4/5 · short-stay residents: —/5
