What health inspectors found (on-site government inspections — the most independent evidence available)
Health inspection rating: ★★☆☆☆2/5 · CMS overall rating: 2/5
The health inspection star above is graded on a curve within each state — a set share of each state's facilities gets each star level — so a facility can have few citations and still rate 2–3 stars if others in its state did even better. The overall rating combines that inspection score with staffing and self-reported quality measures.
Most serious findings (actual harm or immediate jeopardy)
▲ Actual harm, one-off · Jan 19, 2023 · F-0684
The facility did not provide treatment and care that follows the doctor's orders and matches the resident's own preferences and goals.
Why it matters: Care that strays from doctor's orders or ignores the resident's wishes can lead to declining health and avoidable harm.
Severity (G): One or a few residents were actually harmed — physically or emotionally — though not put in immediate danger of serious injury or death.
Corrected: Feb 23, 2023 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)

Nurse staffing (from payroll records, adjusted for how much care residents need)
| Measure | This facility | Missouri avg | U.S. avg | Where it stands |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Total nurse staffing (hours per resident per day) | 3.67 | 3.66 | 3.95 | top 47% in Missouri; bottom 45% in the U.S. |
| Registered Nurse hours | 0.66 | 0.49 | 0.69 | top 15% in Missouri; top 41% in the U.S. |
| Weekend total nurse staffing | 3.18 | 3.22 | 3.50 | top 49% in Missouri; bottom 41% in the U.S. |
| Weekend RN hours (not acuity-adjusted) | 0.45 | 0.33 | 0.48 | top 14% in Missouri; top 40% in the U.S. |
| Total nursing staff turnover (%) | 50.0 | 56.0 | 45.8 | top 32% in Missouri; bottom 38% in the U.S. |
| RN turnover (%) | 20.0 | 47.8 | 42.9 | top 12% in Missouri; top 13% in the U.S. |
Hours are per resident per day, case-mix adjusted by CMS so facilities caring for sicker residents can be compared fairly (same basis as the CMS staffing star). "Top X%" means better than most facilities: more staffing hours, or lower turnover. Raw (unadjusted) reported hours: total 2.86, RN 0.51, weekend 2.48. Staffing rating: 3/5.
Self-reported quality measures
Note: these ratings are based on data the facility reports about itself to CMS. They are not independently verified by inspectors, and can look better than inspection findings. Give more weight to the inspection results above.
