Medicare's abuse flag is set

2 citations at the most serious level
Inspectors judged that residents were placed in danger of serious injury or death. See the inspection section for dates and whether each was corrected.
A Special Focus candidate
Medicare lists this facility as a candidate for its increased-oversight programme — not on the list itself, but flagged as being near it.
Weekend nurse coverage drops 53%
Some weekend drop is normal across the industry; a fall this size is at the steep end. Try to visit on a weekend.
Registered nurse staffing above the state average
0.79 hours per resident per day, against a state average of 0.50.

These are drawn straight from Medicare's records. We report what the record says — we don't rate facilities or judge the care given in them.

Who's actually on the floor

Staffing is the thing most closely tied to day-to-day quality of care, and it's the number families most often never see. This is registered nurses only — a smaller figure than the all-staff total above, because it counts the most highly qualified staff on their own — per resident, per day, comparing an average weekday against an average weekend.

Weekdays
0.79 hrs
Weekends
0.37 hrs
GA average

Registered nurses only — hours per resident per day. Longer is better.

Registered nurse coverage drops about 53% at weekends.

Staff turnover: 49%

High turnover matters because continuity does — a nurse who knows your mother notices when something is different about her. Someone on their second shift doesn't have that baseline.

What inspectors found

State inspectors visit at least once a year and after complaints. Over the last three years this facility received 39 citations. Raw counts mislead, though — a paperwork slip and a resident being harmed both count as one. Here they are by how serious inspectors judged them.

6 of these came from someone filing a complaint rather than a routine visit — worth weighing differently, because it means a person picked up the phone. All findings are recorded as corrected.

Medicare has issued $17,345 in fines here over the past three years.

Disclosed affiliations

Medicare requires every facility to disclose the people and companies connected to it. Most names below are not owners — they are officers, directors, managers, trustees, and what Medicare calls “additional disclosable parties.” The role beside each name is the one Medicare recorded. This is worth reading because operators tend to run their facilities alike: where the same group stands behind a dozen homes, the record across all twelve tells you more than any single inspection does.

Worth asking on a visit

Records only tell you so much. These are the questions this facility's particular numbers suggest you ask — go on a weekend if you possibly can.

  1. Can I visit on a Sunday rather than a weekday? How many registered nurses are on duty then, and for how many residents?
  2. Turnover here is about 49%. How long has the director of nursing been in post?
  3. Medicare's records show a citation at the most serious level. What happened, and what changed afterwards?
  4. Who will actually be caring for my relative at 3am on a Saturday — an agency nurse or someone on staff?

Where these numbers come from

All figures are published by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. Different measures cover different periods — some are considerably older than others, so each is dated separately below rather than under one "last updated" stamp.
