Recent News August 2026 federal update

Quality-measure rating improved from 1 to 4 stars

In the August 2026 federal update, this facility's Medicare quality-measure rating improved from 1 of 5 stars to 4. The quality-measure rating is based on clinical outcomes reported for residents, such as falls and pressure sores. A higher rating reflects a change in the facility's measured performance in that area versus the prior release.

Removed from the federal Special Focus watch list

In the August 2026 federal update, this facility was no longer listed under the federal Special Focus Facility program, which tracks nursing homes with a persistent pattern of serious quality problems.

These changes are drawn from the U.S. federal (CMS) nursing home data. The facts are CMS's; the explanations are Open Care Data's. Federal data updates periodically and can lag current conditions. Operate this facility? Add context or report a correction.
