What health inspectors found (on-site government inspections — the most independent evidence available)
Health inspection rating: ★★☆☆☆2/5 · CMS overall rating: 2/5
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 · Jan 18, 2024 · 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: Jan 7, 2024 (Past Non-Compliance)

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 |
|---|---|---|
| May 14, 2026 | E · Potential for harm, repeated | The facility did not respond appropriately to alleged violations, such as reports of abuse, neglect, or mistreatment. Facilities must investigate every allegation and protect residents while they do. |

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) | 2.56 | 3.94 | 3.95 | bottom 1% in Pennsylvania; bottom 4% in the U.S. |
| Registered Nurse hours | 0.37 | 0.80 | 0.69 | bottom 6% in Pennsylvania; bottom 18% in the U.S. |
| Weekend total nurse staffing | 2.19 | 3.58 | 3.50 | bottom 1% in Pennsylvania; bottom 3% in the U.S. |
| Weekend RN hours (not acuity-adjusted) | 0.21 | 0.56 | 0.48 | bottom 4% in Pennsylvania; bottom 14% in the U.S. |
| Total nursing staff turnover (%) | 45.2 | 44.5 | 45.8 | bottom 48% in Pennsylvania; bottom 49% in the U.S. |
| RN turnover (%) | 30.0 | 39.9 | 42.9 | top 30% in Pennsylvania; top 29% 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 2.86, RN 0.41, weekend 2.45. Staffing rating: 1/5.
Self-reported quality measures
