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.

All citations in the current public record (28)

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	D · Potential for harm, one-off	The facility did not help a resident get vision and hearing services — such as eye exams, glasses, hearing tests, or hearing aids. · from a complaint
Feb 21, 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.

Aug 22, 2022	D · Potential for harm, one-off	The facility did not provide the social services residents need — such as counseling, help with adjustment, or connecting to outside resources — to achieve the best possible quality of life.
Aug 22, 2022	D · Potential for harm, one-off	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.

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

Measure	This facility	New Mexico avg	U.S. avg	Where it stands
Total nurse staffing (hours per resident per day)	4.23	3.94	3.95	top 26% in New Mexico; top 31% in the U.S.
Registered Nurse hours	0.61	0.70	0.69	bottom 46% in New Mexico; top 47% in the U.S.
Weekend total nurse staffing	3.63	3.46	3.50	top 30% in New Mexico; top 36% in the U.S.
Weekend RN hours (not acuity-adjusted)	0.39	0.46	0.48	bottom 46% in New Mexico; top 50% in the U.S.
Total nursing staff turnover (%)	32.5	53.3	45.8	top 5% in New Mexico; top 19% in the U.S.
RN turnover (%)	35.7	53.6	42.9	top 22% in New Mexico; top 39% 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 3.94, RN 0.57, weekend 3.38. Staffing rating: 4/5.

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: 5/5 · long-stay residents: 5/5 · short-stay residents: 5/5
