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 · Apr 23, 2024 · F-0805 · triggered by a complaint
The facility did not prepare and serve food in a form that meets each resident's individual needs — for example, chopped, pureed, or softened food for residents with chewing or swallowing problems.
Why it matters: Food served in the wrong texture can cause choking or lead residents to stop eating and lose weight.
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: Apr 19, 2024 (Past Non-Compliance)
All citations in the current public record (5)
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 |
|---|---|---|
| Aug 28, 2025 | E · Potential for harm, repeated | The facility did not have or follow an effective program to prevent and control infections — such as proper hand washing, cleaning, and isolation practices. This is the most commonly cited deficiency nationwide. |
| Aug 28, 2025 | D · Potential for harm, one-off | The facility did not accurately assess a resident's health and needs. Assessments are the foundation for all the care a resident receives. |
| Apr 23, 2024 | ▲ G · Actual harm, one-off | The facility did not prepare and serve food in a form that meets each resident's individual needs — for example, chopped, pureed, or softened food for residents with chewing or swallowing problems. · from a complaint |
| Sep 7, 2023 | E · Potential for harm, repeated | 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. |
| Sep 7, 2023 | D · Potential for harm, one-off | The facility did not provide appropriate care related to bladder and bowel needs — including care for residents who use catheters and steps to prevent urinary tract infections. |

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) | 5.61 | 3.94 | 3.95 | top 6% in Pennsylvania; top 6% in the U.S. |
| Registered Nurse hours | 1.17 | 0.80 | 0.69 | top 16% in Pennsylvania; top 10% in the U.S. |
| Weekend total nurse staffing | 5.15 | 3.58 | 3.50 | top 6% in Pennsylvania; top 5% in the U.S. |
| Weekend RN hours (not acuity-adjusted) | 0.70 | 0.56 | 0.48 | top 23% in Pennsylvania; top 16% in the U.S. |
| Total nursing staff turnover (%) | 39.5 | 44.5 | 45.8 | top 35% in Pennsylvania; top 35% in the U.S. |
| RN turnover (%) | 30.3 | 39.9 | 42.9 | top 32% 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 5.25, RN 1.10, weekend 4.82. 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: 5/5 · long-stay residents: 5/5 · short-stay residents: 5/5
