What health inspectors found (on-site government inspections — the most independent evidence available)
Health inspection rating: ★★★☆☆3/5 · CMS overall rating: 3/5
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 · Apr 29, 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: May 30, 2025 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)
▲ Actual harm, one-off · Apr 29, 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: May 30, 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) | 3.99 | 3.94 | 3.95 | top 37% in Pennsylvania; top 40% in the U.S. |
| Registered Nurse hours | 1.01 | 0.80 | 0.69 | top 20% in Pennsylvania; top 15% in the U.S. |
| Weekend total nurse staffing | 3.65 | 3.58 | 3.50 | top 37% in Pennsylvania; top 35% in the U.S. |
| Weekend RN hours (not acuity-adjusted) | 0.66 | 0.56 | 0.48 | top 27% in Pennsylvania; top 19% in the U.S. |
| Total nursing staff turnover (%) | 41.2 | 44.5 | 45.8 | top 39% in Pennsylvania; top 40% in the U.S. |
| RN turnover (%) | 32.0 | 39.9 | 42.9 | top 36% in Pennsylvania; top 33% 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 3.72, RN 0.94, weekend 3.40. Staffing rating: 4/5.
