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)
▲ Immediate jeopardy, one-off · Feb 18, 2026 · 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 (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: Feb 15, 2026 (Past Non-Compliance)

| Total nurse staffing (hours per resident per day) | 4.75 | 3.94 | 3.95 | top 18% in Pennsylvania; top 17% in the U.S. |
| Registered Nurse hours | 1.31 | 0.80 | 0.69 | top 11% in Pennsylvania; top 7% in the U.S. |

| RN turnover (%) | 30.8 | 39.9 | 42.9 | top 33% in Pennsylvania; top 30% 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 4.71, RN 1.30, weekend 4.08. Staffing rating: 5/5.
Self-reported quality measures
