What health inspectors found (on-site government inspections — the most independent evidence available)
Health inspection rating: ★★★☆☆3/5 · 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)
▲ Actual harm, one-off · Nov 21, 2025 · 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: Jan 13, 2026 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)
▲ Actual harm, one-off · Feb 14, 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 (G): One or a few residents were actually harmed — physically or emotionally — though not put in immediate danger of serious injury or death.
Corrected: Apr 10, 2025 (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) | 4.55 | 3.94 | 3.95 | top 21% in Pennsylvania; top 22% in the U.S. |
| Registered Nurse hours | 0.49 | 0.80 | 0.69 | bottom 24% in Pennsylvania; bottom 37% in the U.S. |
| Weekend total nurse staffing | 4.15 | 3.58 | 3.50 | top 21% in Pennsylvania; top 19% in the U.S. |
| Weekend RN hours (not acuity-adjusted) | 0.28 | 0.56 | 0.48 | bottom 16% in Pennsylvania; bottom 27% in the U.S. |
| Total nursing staff turnover (%) | 59.5 | 44.5 | 45.8 | bottom 12% in Pennsylvania; bottom 17% in the U.S. |
| RN turnover (%) | 60.0 | 39.9 | 42.9 | bottom 16% in Pennsylvania; bottom 22% 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 3.87, RN 0.42, weekend 3.53. Staffing rating: 3/5.
