Records show this facility is designated as a Special Focus Facility with an overall one-star federal rating, over $158,000 in recent fines, and health inspection findings that significantly exceed state averages.
The data indicates that this facility presents several quality metrics significantly below state and national averages. As a Special Focus Facility, its history shows persistent health and safety challenges. The most recent inspection cycle recorded 32 health findings, a substantial increase from the previous cycle and more than twice the California average. These findings included 11 complaint-related issues and instances of actual harm to residents, such as failures to provide adequate supervision to prevent accidents and delayed reporting of suspected abuse or theft. Five total penalties have been issued recently, totaling over $158,000 in fines and two separate periods where federal payments were denied.
Staffing data reflects a total of 4.22 hours of nursing care per resident per day, which is lower than the California average of 4.51 hours. Within this total, registered nurse care is 0.40 hours per resident day, below the state average of 0.65. While the facility maintains a stable leadership team with zero administrator departures and utilizes no contract or agency staff, there is a measurable disparity in weekend care. Total nursing hours drop by approximately 5% on weekends, and registered nurse care specifically decreases by 22% compared to weekday levels. Furthermore, the 45.5% turnover rate for registered nurses exceeds the state average of 40.6%, suggesting less stability in the professional nursing staff. Quality measures for both long-stay and short-stay residents are currently rated at two out of five stars, underperforming relative to the state's average quality measure rating of 4.1.
The facility is designated as a Special Focus Facility, a status reserved for nursing homes with a history of persistent safety and care issues.
Records indicate 32 health inspection findings in the most recent cycle, more than double the California state average of 15.6.
Public records show two instances of high-level 'Immediate Jeopardy' findings (Severity J) and five severe findings involving actual harm to residents (Severity G).
This shows how the facility's federal ratings have changed over the past 24 months. Consistent high ratings suggest stable quality, while declining trends may warrant further investigation.

Staffing depth is the strongest predictor of care quality. Facilities routinely cut staff on evenings and weekends — the shifts when falls happen and call lights go unanswered.
