The records flag: 9 citations where a resident was harmed; $144,440 in fines over three years.
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.
Registered nurses only — hours per resident per day. Longer is better.
Registered nurse coverage is about 24% lower at weekends.
Staff turnover: 62%
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 43 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.
| Severity | Citations |
|---|---|
| Actual harm | 9 |
| Potential for harm | 34 |
| No harm | 0 |
18 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 $144,440 in fines here over the past three years.
Disclosed affiliations
Medicare has not published ownership or affiliation information for this facility. That is a gap in the federal record, not a finding about the facility — the great majority of facilities do have entries, so it is a reasonable thing to ask about on a visit.

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.
- Can I visit on a Sunday rather than a weekday? How many registered nurses are on duty then, and for how many residents?
- Turnover here is about 62%. How long has the director of nursing been in post?
- Who will actually be caring for my relative at 3am on a Saturday — an agency nurse or someone on staff?
