Independent research · Occupancy & availability
How full is this provider?
We separate historical occupancy, licensed or reported capacity, and openings that are confirmed today. These are different facts.
Historical census / certified bedsNot publicly reportedNo facility-level report confirmed yet
Medicare-certified beds59 medicare-certified bedsUnknown does not mean zero or vacant
Current openings / admissionsNot verifiedAsk about openings, appropriate level of care, fees and any waitlist.
Occupancy alone is not a quality rating. An empty bed may be unstaffed or unsuitable for a particular resident. For agencies that deliver care at home, conventional bed occupancy does not apply.
