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

Health inspection rating: ★☆☆☆☆1/5 · 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)

▲ Actual harm, one-off · Mar 13, 2026 · F-0627

The facility did not make sure a transfer or discharge met the resident's needs and preferences, or did not properly prepare the resident to leave safely.

Why it matters: A rushed or poorly planned move can leave a resident somewhere that can't meet their needs.

Severity (G): One or a few residents were actually harmed — physically or emotionally — though not put in immediate danger of serious injury or death.

Date	Severity	What the facility was cited for
Mar 13, 2026	▲ G · Actual harm, one-off	The facility did not make sure a transfer or discharge met the resident's needs and preferences, or did not properly prepare the resident to leave safely.
Mar 13, 2026	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.

Nov 18, 2025	D · Potential for harm, one-off	The facility did not immediately notify the resident, their doctor, and a family member when something significant happened — such as an injury, a decline in health, or a room change.

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

Measure	This facility	New York avg	U.S. avg	Where it stands
Total nurse staffing (hours per resident per day)	2.87	3.58	3.95	bottom 17% in New York; bottom 10% in the U.S.
Registered Nurse hours	0.42	0.68	0.69	bottom 18% in New York; bottom 25% in the U.S.
Weekend total nurse staffing	2.47	3.13	3.50	bottom 13% in New York; bottom 8% in the U.S.
Weekend RN hours (not acuity-adjusted)	0.23	0.48	0.48	bottom 22% in New York; bottom 18% in the U.S.
Total nursing staff turnover (%)	36.1	40.3	45.8	top 44% in New York; top 27% in the U.S.
RN turnover (%)	57.7	39.8	42.9	bottom 16% in New York; bottom 24% 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 3.01, RN 0.44, weekend 2.58. Staffing rating: 1/5.
