What health inspectors found (on-site government inspections — the most independent evidence available)
Health inspection rating: ★★★☆☆3/5 · CMS overall rating: 3/5
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)
▲ Immediate jeopardy, one-off · Jun 27, 2024 · F-0624 · triggered by a complaint
The facility did not properly prepare residents for a safe transfer or discharge. Before a resident leaves, the facility must get them ready and make sure the move is safe and orderly.
Why it matters: An unprepared discharge can send a resident somewhere unsafe or without the care arrangements they need.
Severity (J): Inspectors found a situation that put a resident's life or safety in immediate danger, affecting one or a few residents. The facility must fix it immediately — these citations often come with large fines.
Corrected: May 31, 2024 (Past Non-Compliance)

Nurse staffing (from payroll records, adjusted for how much care residents need)
| Measure | This facility | Kentucky avg | U.S. avg | Where it stands |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Total nurse staffing (hours per resident per day) | 3.33 | 3.71 | 3.95 | bottom 49% in Kentucky; bottom 28% in the U.S. |
| Registered Nurse hours | 0.50 | 0.74 | 0.69 | bottom 31% in Kentucky; bottom 38% in the U.S. |
| Weekend total nurse staffing | 3.01 | 3.27 | 3.50 | top 50% in Kentucky; bottom 31% in the U.S. |
| Weekend RN hours (not acuity-adjusted) | 0.48 | 0.53 | 0.48 | top 43% in Kentucky; top 35% in the U.S. |

| RN turnover (%) | 71.4 | 41.8 | 42.9 | bottom 9% in Kentucky; bottom 11% 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 3.93, RN 0.59, weekend 3.55. Staffing rating: 2/5.
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.
Quality measures rating: 2/5 · long-stay residents: 2/5 · short-stay residents: 2/5
