Its most recent inspection, in January 2026, cited 14 deficiencies, none of them severe. It is on CMS's Special Focus Facility list, a designation for persistently poor-performing nursing homes.

Bottom line: There are clear quality concerns here — the home is on the Special Focus list and has an abuse flag, and recent inspections identified multiple problems with staffing, supervision, care planning and resident communication. One modest positive is that the latest inspection did not show any of the most severe citations; the most important thing to ask about is what concrete steps the facility has taken to address the abuse concerns and the persistent staffing and supervision shortfalls.
