Individuals seeking placement at this facility should contact the admissions department directly to inquire about current bed availability, private pay rates, and any additional insurance or managed care plans accepted. Coverage eligibility and benefits can vary depending on the level of care required and the specific plan terms of the individual resident. When considered against national benchmarks, this facility presents a mixed profile. The overall 4-star rating places it above the national average of 3.0 stars, and the 5-star quality measure rating indicates strong performance on tracked clinical metrics. The health inspection rating of 4 stars also compares favorably to national norms. However, the staffing rating of 1 star represents a notable area where the facility falls below national averages, a factor that families and care coordinators may wish to investigate further when evaluating placement options. Staffing levels can influence the amount of direct care time available to each resident, and CMS staffing data is derived from payroll-based records submitted by the facility. Prospective residents and their representatives are encouraged to review the full CMS Nursing Home Care Compare profile and to visit the facility in person to gather additional context beyond what administrative data alone can provide.
