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)

▲ Immediate jeopardy, facility-wide · May 20, 2026 · 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 (L): A life-threatening or extremely dangerous situation existed throughout the facility. The single most serious citation CMS can issue.

Corrected: Jun 9, 2026 (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)	3.54	3.94	3.95	bottom 45% in Pennsylvania; bottom 38% in the U.S.
Registered Nurse hours	0.41	0.80	0.69	bottom 10% in Pennsylvania; bottom 23% in the U.S.
Weekend total nurse staffing	3.36	3.58	3.50	top 50% in Pennsylvania; top 50% in the U.S.
Weekend RN hours (not acuity-adjusted)	0.31	0.56	0.48	bottom 23% in Pennsylvania; bottom 33% in the U.S.
Total nursing staff turnover (%)	69.5	44.5	45.8	bottom 4% in Pennsylvania; bottom 6% in the U.S.
RN turnover (%)	40.0	39.9	42.9	bottom 48% in Pennsylvania; top 46% 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 3.16, RN 0.36, weekend 3.00. Staffing rating: 2/5.

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
