Red flags
Special Focus Facility candidate
CMS lists this facility as a candidate for its Special Focus program for persistently poor inspection performance.
1 immediate-jeopardy citation in the most recent inspection cycle
Immediate jeopardy is the most serious finding an inspector can make: a situation likely to cause serious injury, harm, or death.
1 abuse-related citation at the actual-harm level
Inspectors cited failures in the abuse-prevention rules (F600–F610) that resulted in actual harm to a resident.
Medicare/Medicaid payments were denied
CMS refused payment for new admissions for a period — one of its strongest enforcement tools.
74% of nursing staff left within a year
High turnover disrupts continuity of care; the national median is 45%.
