What health inspectors found (on-site government inspections — the most independent evidence available)
Health inspection rating: ★★★★☆4/5 · CMS overall rating: 5/5
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.
All citations in the current public record (10)
CMS publishes roughly the last three inspection cycles plus recent complaint investigations. Older surveys drop out of the record as new ones are completed.
| Date | Severity | What the facility was cited for |
|---|---|---|
| Mar 20, 2025 | E · Potential for harm, repeated | The facility did not honor residents' rights to request, refuse, or stop treatment, to decline participation in medical research, or to make an advance directive — a written statement of their wishes for future medical care. |
| Mar 20, 2025 | D · Potential for harm, one-off | The facility did not provide treatment and care that follows the doctor's orders and matches the resident's own preferences and goals. |

| Jul 27, 2023 | E · Potential for harm, repeated | The facility did not create and follow a basic care plan covering a new resident's most immediate needs within 48 hours of admission. The first days are when a new resident is most vulnerable. |

| Jul 27, 2023 | D · Potential for harm, one-off | The facility did not label drugs according to professional standards or did not store them in locked compartments, with controlled drugs (medications with a high risk of misuse) kept under a separate lock. |

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) | 6.45 | 3.94 | 3.95 | top 3% in Pennsylvania; top 2% in the U.S. |
| Registered Nurse hours | 3.77 | 0.80 | 0.69 | top 1% in Pennsylvania; top 1% in the U.S. |
| Weekend total nurse staffing | 5.75 | 3.58 | 3.50 | top 3% in Pennsylvania; top 2% in the U.S. |
| Weekend RN hours (not acuity-adjusted) | 2.79 | 0.56 | 0.48 | top 1% in Pennsylvania; top 1% in the U.S. |
| Total nursing staff turnover (%) | 19.0 | 44.5 | 45.8 | top 2% in Pennsylvania; top 2% in the U.S. |
| RN turnover (%) | 7.7 | 39.9 | 42.9 | top 3% in Pennsylvania; top 3% 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 5.96, RN 3.48, weekend 5.32. Staffing rating: 5/5.
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 · short-stay residents: 4/5
