Our reading of these numbers

Written by us from the CMS figures on this page. Percentages and minutes are our arithmetic.

CMS counts an average of about 215 residents per day in 235 certified beds, so roughly 92% of beds are in use (our division of CMS's two figures). The most recent standard inspection CMS lists was on September 9, 2025, about 12 months before CMS processed this data on September 1, 2026. CMS reports three health citations for rating cycle 1; this is a cycle total, not necessarily the count from that inspection date. None of the 21 citations in CMS's three-year file is at severity G or above, the levels CMS's grid describes as actual harm or immediate jeopardy. Two citations came from complaint inspections. Reported nurse staffing works out to about 208 minutes of nursing time per resident per day, about 36 of them from registered nurses (CMS's hours times 60). CMS's three-year penalties file lists no fines and one payment denial.

Staffing

“This includes three nurse staffing level measures (hours per resident per day) and three measures of staff turnover.” (CMS Technical Users' Guide) “The staffing measures are derived from data submitted each quarter through the Payroll-Based Journal (PBJ) System, along with daily resident census derived from Minimum Data Set, Version 3.0 (MDS 3.0) assessments.” (CMS)

Health inspections and citations

CMS rating cycles. The most recent standard survey (rating cycle 1) is assigned a weighting factor of 3/4, and the second most recent standard survey (rating cycle 2) is assigned a weighted factor of 1/4. The date is the cycle's standard inspection; the counts are CMS's totals for the whole cycle, which can include complaint inspections on other dates. A citation can be classed as both standard and complaint, so those two columns need not add up to the total.
Cycle	Standard inspection date	Cycle total citations	Standard	Complaint
1 (most recent)	Sep 9, 2025	3	2	1
2 and 3	Sep 26, 2023	6	5	1

CMS's total weighted health inspection score: 17.000. “Note that a lower survey score corresponds to fewer deficiencies and revisits, and thus better performance on the health inspection domain.” (CMS)

Every citation in CMS's three-year file for this home, newest first. The letter is CMS's scope and severity code, which indicates the level of harm to the resident(s) involved and the scope of the problem within the nursing home (CMS data dictionary). Letters G to L, marked in red, are the actual-harm and immediate-jeopardy rows of CMS's grid.
