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 · Jun 23, 2025 · 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 (G): One or a few residents were actually harmed — physically or emotionally — though not put in immediate danger of serious injury or death.
Corrected: Jul 9, 2025 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)

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) | 4.82 | 3.94 | 3.95 | top 17% in Pennsylvania; top 16% in the U.S. |
| Registered Nurse hours | 0.88 | 0.80 | 0.69 | top 28% in Pennsylvania; top 22% in the U.S. |
| Weekend total nurse staffing | 4.48 | 3.58 | 3.50 | top 13% in Pennsylvania; top 12% in the U.S. |
| Weekend RN hours (not acuity-adjusted) | 0.57 | 0.56 | 0.48 | top 33% in Pennsylvania; top 25% in the U.S. |
| Total nursing staff turnover (%) | 40.7 | 44.5 | 45.8 | top 38% in Pennsylvania; top 38% in the U.S. |
| RN turnover (%) | 42.9 | 39.9 | 42.9 | bottom 43% in Pennsylvania; bottom 49% 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 4.73, RN 0.87, weekend 4.39. 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
