What health inspectors found (on-site government inspections — the most independent evidence available)
Health inspection rating: ★★★☆☆3/5 · CMS overall rating: 3/5
⚠ The most recent standard health inspection was more than 2 years ago — conditions may have changed.
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 · Apr 21, 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: Jun 9, 2025 (Deficient, Provider has plan of correction)
▲ Actual harm, one-off · Mar 20, 2024 · F-0686 · triggered by a complaint
The facility did not provide proper care for pressure ulcers (bedsores) or did not do enough to prevent new ones from forming. Bedsores develop when residents stay in one position too long without help moving.
Why it matters: Bedsores are painful, can become deeply infected, and in serious cases can be life-threatening.
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: May 17, 2024 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)
▲ Actual harm, one-off · Mar 20, 2024 · F-0697
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 (G): One or a few residents were actually harmed — physically or emotionally — though not put in immediate danger of serious injury or death.
Corrected: May 17, 2024 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)
▲ Actual harm, one-off · Nov 9, 2022 · F-0684
The facility did not provide treatment and care that follows the doctor's orders and matches the resident's own preferences and goals.
Why it matters: Care that strays from doctor's orders or ignores the resident's wishes can lead to declining health and avoidable harm.
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: Jan 9, 2023 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)

Nurse staffing (from payroll records, adjusted for how much care residents need)
| Measure | This facility | District of Columbia avg | U.S. avg | Where it stands |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Total nurse staffing (hours per resident per day) | 3.69 | 4.76 | 3.95 | bottom 13% in District of Columbia; bottom 46% in the U.S. |
| Registered Nurse hours | 1.52 | 1.48 | 0.69 | top 27% in District of Columbia; top 4% in the U.S. |
| Weekend total nurse staffing | 3.19 | 4.35 | 3.50 | bottom 7% in District of Columbia; bottom 41% in the U.S. |
| Weekend RN hours (not acuity-adjusted) | 1.25 | 1.28 | 0.48 | top 33% in District of Columbia; top 3% in the U.S. |
| Total nursing staff turnover (%) | 47.0 | 34.0 | 45.8 | bottom 20% in District of Columbia; bottom 44% in the U.S. |
| RN turnover (%) | 65.2 | 32.5 | 42.9 | bottom 7% in District of Columbia; bottom 15% 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 3.39, RN 1.40, weekend 2.93. Staffing rating: 3/5.
Self-reported quality measures
