What health inspectors found (on-site government inspections — the most independent evidence available)
Health inspection rating: ★★☆☆☆2/5 · CMS overall rating: 1/5
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 · Aug 26, 2024 · F-0684 · triggered by a complaint
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.

Nurse staffing (from payroll records, adjusted for how much care residents need)
| Measure | This facility | Ohio avg | U.S. avg | Where it stands |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Total nurse staffing (hours per resident per day) | 3.37 | 3.45 | 3.95 | top 46% in Ohio; bottom 30% in the U.S. |
| Registered Nurse hours | 0.45 | 0.60 | 0.69 | bottom 29% in Ohio; bottom 30% in the U.S. |
| Weekend total nurse staffing | 2.94 | 3.07 | 3.50 | top 49% in Ohio; bottom 28% in the U.S. |
| Weekend RN hours (not acuity-adjusted) | 0.50 | 0.42 | 0.48 | top 27% in Ohio; top 33% in the U.S. |
| Total nursing staff turnover (%) | 70.4 | 48.7 | 45.8 | bottom 6% in Ohio; bottom 5% in the U.S. |
| RN turnover (%) | 66.7 | 43.9 | 42.9 | bottom 18% in Ohio; bottom 15% 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 3.48, RN 0.47, weekend 3.05. Staffing rating: 1/5.
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.
