What health inspectors found (on-site government inspections — the most independent evidence available)
Health inspection rating: ★☆☆☆☆1/5 · CMS overall rating: 1/5
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 · Dec 14, 2023 · F-0801 · triggered by a complaint
The facility did not employ enough qualified food and nutrition staff, including a qualified dietician, to properly run its food service.
Why it matters: Without qualified nutrition staff, residents' special diets and nutritional needs may be handled incorrectly, risking weight loss and health decline.
Severity (L): A life-threatening or extremely dangerous situation existed throughout the facility. The single most serious citation CMS can issue.
Corrected: Jan 14, 2024 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)
▲ Immediate jeopardy, facility-wide · Dec 14, 2023 · F-0812 · triggered by a complaint
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.
Why it matters: Unsafe food handling is one of the most common causes of food poisoning, which can be dangerous for frail residents.
Severity (L): A life-threatening or extremely dangerous situation existed throughout the facility. The single most serious citation CMS can issue.
Corrected: Jan 14, 2024 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)
▲ Immediate jeopardy, facility-wide · Dec 14, 2023 · F-0867 · triggered by a complaint
The facility did not run an ongoing quality assurance committee that reviews care problems and creates plans to fix them.
Why it matters: Without a working quality program, the same care problems tend to repeat instead of getting fixed.
Severity (L): A life-threatening or extremely dangerous situation existed throughout the facility. The single most serious citation CMS can issue.
Corrected: Jan 14, 2024 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)
▲ Actual harm, one-off · Aug 20, 2024 · 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: Sep 17, 2024 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)
▲ Actual harm, repeated · Dec 14, 2023 · F-0697 · triggered by a complaint
The facility did not provide safe and appropriate pain management for a resident who needed it.
Why it matters: Untreated pain causes needless suffering and can lead to depression, poor sleep, and declining health.
Severity (H): Multiple residents were actually harmed by the same failure — a pattern of real harm, not an isolated incident.
Corrected: Jan 14, 2024 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)
All citations in the current public record (32)
CMS publishes roughly the last three inspection cycles plus recent complaint investigations. Older surveys drop out of the record as new ones are completed.

Nurse staffing (from payroll records, adjusted for how much care residents need)
| Measure | This facility | Florida avg | U.S. avg | Where it stands |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Total nurse staffing (hours per resident per day) | 3.76 | 4.03 | 3.95 | bottom 39% in Florida; bottom 50% in the U.S. |
| Registered Nurse hours | 1.13 | 0.76 | 0.69 | top 13% in Florida; top 11% in the U.S. |
| Weekend total nurse staffing | 3.46 | 3.68 | 3.50 | bottom 42% in Florida; top 44% in the U.S. |
| Weekend RN hours (not acuity-adjusted) | 0.80 | 0.53 | 0.48 | top 15% in Florida; top 11% in the U.S. |
| Total nursing staff turnover (%) | 33.8 | 41.4 | 45.8 | top 30% in Florida; top 21% in the U.S. |
| RN turnover (%) | 45.2 | 46.0 | 42.9 | top 48% in Florida; bottom 43% 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 3.42, RN 1.03, weekend 3.15. Staffing rating: 4/5.
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: 4/5 · long-stay residents: 5/5 · short-stay residents: 2/5
