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, one-off · Oct 30, 2025 · F-0600 · triggered by a complaint
The facility did not protect residents from abuse or neglect. This covers physical, mental, and sexual abuse, physical punishment, and neglect, by anyone — staff, other residents, or visitors.
Why it matters: Abuse and neglect cause direct physical and emotional harm and are among the most serious failures a nursing home can have.
Severity (J): Inspectors found a situation that put a resident's life or safety in immediate danger, affecting one or a few residents. The facility must fix it immediately — these citations often come with large fines.
Corrected: Nov 21, 2025 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)
▲ Immediate jeopardy, one-off · Oct 30, 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 (J): Inspectors found a situation that put a resident's life or safety in immediate danger, affecting one or a few residents. The facility must fix it immediately — these citations often come with large fines.
Corrected: Nov 21, 2025 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)
▲ Immediate jeopardy, one-off · Apr 10, 2024 · F-0678 · triggered by a complaint
The facility did not provide basic life support, such as CPR, before emergency medical help arrived — care that's required when it matches the doctor's orders and the resident's own written wishes.
Why it matters: In a cardiac or breathing emergency, failure to start CPR promptly can be the difference between life and death.
Severity (J): Inspectors found a situation that put a resident's life or safety in immediate danger, affecting one or a few residents. The facility must fix it immediately — these citations often come with large fines.
Corrected: Apr 4, 2024 (Past Non-Compliance)

▲ Immediate jeopardy, one-off · Sep 2, 2023 · F-0777 · triggered by a complaint
The facility did not provide or obtain x-rays and other imaging tests when ordered, or did not promptly tell the ordering doctor the results.
Why it matters: A missed or delayed x-ray can leave a fracture or illness untreated while a resident is in pain.

▲ Actual harm, one-off · Apr 8, 2021 · F-0686
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 10, 2021 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)

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

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Total nurse staffing (hours per resident per day) | 4.95 | 4.03 | 3.95 | top 9% in Florida; top 14% in the U.S. |
| Registered Nurse hours | 0.72 | 0.76 | 0.69 | top 43% in Florida; top 34% in the U.S. |
| Weekend total nurse staffing | 4.54 | 3.68 | 3.50 | top 8% in Florida; top 11% in the U.S. |
| Weekend RN hours (not acuity-adjusted) | 0.47 | 0.53 | 0.48 | top 46% in Florida; top 37% in the U.S. |

| RN turnover (%) | 61.5 | 46.0 | 42.9 | bottom 22% in Florida; bottom 20% 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 4.18, RN 0.61, weekend 3.84. Staffing rating: 4/5.
Self-reported quality measures
