What health inspectors found (on-site government inspections — the most independent evidence available)

Most serious findings (actual harm or immediate jeopardy)

All citations in the current public record (9)

CMS publishes roughly the last three inspection cycles plus recent complaint investigations. Older surveys drop out of the record as new ones are completed.

Inspection trend by year

Citations from standard inspections increased between the last two inspection cycles (1 → 5).

Counts reflect the current CMS public record (~3 inspection cycles plus complaint investigations); years with no surveys show no row. Inspection frequency varies, so compare severity as well as counts.

Fines and enforcement (last 3 years)

1 fine totaling $25,495, plus 1 Medicare payment denial period.

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

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 5.09, RN 1.09, weekend 4.54. Staffing rating: 5/5.
