What Families Should Know

Without current CMS star ratings available, families must rely on direct observation and reviews to assess this facility. The consistent pattern of complaints about staffing shortages, building conditions, and cleanliness suggests systemic operational challenges that could impact care quality. While the rehabilitation therapy services receive positive feedback, the fundamental issues with staffing ratios (reportedly one nurse for 80 residents on some shifts) and facility maintenance raise serious concerns about the facility's ability to provide adequate care and safety oversight for residents.
