This Medicare-certified nursing home has 145 certified beds. CMS records show 122 health citations in the last 3 years and 34 substantiated complaints; most recent inspection February 2026.
Summary generated from this facility's CMS inspection, staffing, and enforcement records. Every statement is derived directly from federal data — nothing is estimated or invented.
These rates come from clinical assessments (the federal Minimum Data Set) that nursing homes are required to submit for every resident, covering long-stay residents over the most recent reporting period. Lower rates are better for every measure shown here. Use them to ask pointed questions on a tour — for example, how the facility prevents falls or limits antipsychotic use.
Residents who experienced a fall with major injury
Residents with pressure ulcers (bed sores)
Residents who were physically restrained
Residents who lost too much weight
Residents with a urinary tract infection
Residents with a catheter inserted and left in their bladder
Residents with new or worsened bowel or bladder incontinence
Residents who have symptoms of depression
Residents whose need for help with daily activities increased
Residents whose ability to walk independently worsened
