The facility is improving, with a decrease in issues from 8 in 2023 to none reported in 2024. Staffing is rated at 4 out of 5 stars with a turnover rate of 38%, which is better than the state average of 50%, suggesting that staff are experienced and familiar with residents' needs. Notably, there have been no fines recorded, which is a positive sign of compliance. However, there are some areas of concern.
