CMS abuse warning
CMS flags this facility with its abuse icon: cited for abuse that caused harm in the past year, or potential harm in the past two years.
7 immediate-jeopardy citations 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.

Inspectors cited failures in the abuse-prevention rules (F600–F610) that resulted in actual harm to a resident.
Medicare/Medicaid payments were denied
