Its most recent inspection, in December 2025, cited 12 deficiencies, none of them severe. It is on CMS's Special Focus Facility list, a designation for persistently poor-performing nursing homes.
A modest positive is that the last inspection's citations, while numerous, did not include any severe deficiencies.
