Who Owns and Operates Ann'S Choice?

The facility is operated by ERICKSON SENIOR LIVING, a chain that manages multiple nursing homes. With 66 certified beds and approximately 61 residents (about 92% occupancy), it is a smaller facility located in WARMINSTER, Pennsylvania.
How Does Ann'S Choice Compare to Other Pennsylvania Nursing Homes?

What Should Families Ask When Visiting Ann'S Choice?
Based on this facility's data, families visiting should ask: "Can I visit during a mealtime to observe dining assistance and food quality?" "How do you handle medical emergencies, and what is your hospital transfer rate?" "Can I speak with family members of current residents about their experience?"
Is Ann'S Choice Safe?
Based on CMS inspection data, ANN'S CHOICE has a clean safety record: no substantiated abuse findings (meaning no confirmed cases of resident harm), no Immediate Jeopardy citations (the most serious violation level indicating risk of serious injury or death), and is not on the Special Focus Facility watch list (a federal program monitoring the lowest-performing 1% of nursing homes). The facility has a 5-star overall rating and ranks #1 of 100 nursing homes in Pennsylvania. While no facility is perfect, families should still ask about staff-to-resident ratios and recent inspection results during their visit.
Do Nurses at Ann'S Choice Stick Around?
Staff at ANN'S CHOICE tend to stick around. With a turnover rate of 22%, the facility is 24 percentage points below the Pennsylvania average of 46%. Low turnover is a positive sign. It means caregivers have time to learn each resident's needs, medications, and personal preferences. Consistent staff also notice subtle changes in a resident's condition more quickly.
Was Ann'S Choice Ever Fined?
ANN'S CHOICE has no federal fines on record. CMS issues fines when nursing homes fail to meet care standards or don't correct problems found during inspections. The absence of fines suggests the facility has either maintained compliance or corrected any issues before penalties were assessed. This is a positive indicator, though families should still review recent inspection reports for the full picture.
Is Ann'S Choice on Any Federal Watch List?
ANN'S CHOICE is not on any federal watch list. The most significant is the Special Focus Facility (SFF) program, which identifies the bottom 1% of nursing homes nationally based on persistent, serious quality problems. Not being on this list means the facility has avoided the pattern of deficiencies that triggers enhanced federal oversight. This is a positive indicator, though families should still review the facility's inspection history directly.
