Flagged by CMS data
This facility has received 1 federal fine(s) but still shows a 4.0-star overall rating. Federal penalties are serious — they indicate violations found during inspections. A high rating alongside recent penalties warrants extra scrutiny.
From the latest CMS Care Compare reconcile
Flagged by CMS data
Mobility-decline rate is 25.7% — meaning that share of long-stay residents lost ability to move between measurements (above the national median of about 17%). High decline suggests no PT/OT program or no daily walking — residents are being allowed to become bed-bound. Worth asking what the rehab and activities calendar actually looks like.
From the latest CMS Care Compare reconcile
Flagged by CMS data
Registered nurse coverage is 1.23 hours per resident per day — well above the recommended minimum of 0.75 and on par with high-end facilities. More RN time means complex medical changes get caught before they become emergency room trips.
From the latest CMS Care Compare reconcile
Flagged by CMS data
Annual nursing staff turnover is 34% — well below the industry average of 50-60%. The same caregivers are coming back week after week, which means residents see familiar faces who know their preferences and history. Continuity of care is one of the biggest invisible quality signals.
