Why this verdict

  • Inspection record is far worse than the national median (deficiency count and severity).
  • Inspection results are getting worse cycle over cycle, not better.

Red flags

Medicare/Medicaid payments were denied

CMS refused payment for new admissions for a period — one of its strongest enforcement tools.

63% of nursing staff left within a year

High turnover disrupts continuity of care; the national median is 45%.
