Why this verdict
- 3 citations involved actual harm to residents.
- No federal fines or payment denials in CMS’s 3-year window.
- Inspection results have improved across recent cycles.
The composite number cleared 71 points, but Recommended is gated: inspection record below the Recommended bar; CMS rates its health inspections "much below average". That rule is part of the published method.
Red flags
Cited under the freedom-from-abuse rule
Cited 1 time under F600 (freedom from abuse/neglect) below the actual-harm level — worth asking about on a tour.
63% of nursing staff left within a year
High turnover disrupts continuity of care; the national median is 45%.
