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)
▲ Immediate jeopardy, one-off · Jun 14, 2024 · F-0695
The facility did not provide safe and appropriate respiratory care — such as oxygen, breathing treatments, or care for residents on breathing equipment — for residents who needed it.
Why it matters: Mistakes in breathing care can quickly become life-threatening for residents who depend on oxygen or equipment.
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: Jul 16, 2024 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)
▲ Actual harm, one-off · Jun 14, 2024 · F-0676 · triggered by a complaint
The facility allowed residents to lose the ability to do daily activities — like bathing, dressing, and eating — when there was no medical reason for the decline. Good care helps residents keep the abilities they have.
Why it matters: A resident can needlessly lose independence that proper daily support would have preserved.
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: Jul 16, 2024 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)
▲ Actual harm, one-off · Feb 28, 2019 · F-0656
The facility did not develop or follow a complete care plan for each resident — the written roadmap covering all of a resident's needs, with measurable goals and timelines.
Why it matters: Without a complete, working care plan, important needs can slip through the cracks and no one is accountable for results.
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: Apr 9, 2019 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)
▲ Actual harm, one-off · Feb 28, 2019 · F-0657
The facility did not develop a resident's complete plan of care within 7 days of the full assessment, or the plan wasn't prepared, reviewed, and updated by a team of health professionals as required.
Why it matters: Delays or gaps in care planning mean staff may work without a clear, current roadmap for the resident's daily care and treatment.
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: Apr 9, 2019 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)
▲ Actual harm, one-off · Feb 28, 2019 · F-0689
The facility did not keep the environment free of accident hazards, or did not provide enough supervision to prevent accidents like falls.
Why it matters: This is one of the most common citations and directly relates to falls and injuries, which can be devastating for older adults.
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: Apr 9, 2019 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)

| Feb 28, 2019 | D · Potential for harm, one-off | The facility did not provide activities that meet residents' needs and interests. Nursing homes must offer meaningful activity programs, not just leave residents idle. |

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) | 3.15 | 3.71 | 3.95 | bottom 32% in Kentucky; bottom 19% in the U.S. |
| Registered Nurse hours | 0.85 | 0.74 | 0.69 | top 23% in Kentucky; top 24% in the U.S. |
| Weekend total nurse staffing | 2.83 | 3.27 | 3.50 | bottom 38% in Kentucky; bottom 22% in the U.S. |
| Weekend RN hours (not acuity-adjusted) | 0.78 | 0.53 | 0.48 | top 14% in Kentucky; top 12% in the U.S. |
| Total nursing staff turnover (%) | 58.2 | 46.4 | 45.8 | bottom 16% in Kentucky; bottom 19% in the U.S. |
| RN turnover (%) | 52.4 | 41.8 | 42.9 | bottom 29% in Kentucky; bottom 32% 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 3.34, RN 0.90, weekend 3.00. 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.
