What health inspectors found (on-site government inspections — the most independent evidence available)
Health inspection rating: ★☆☆☆☆1/5 · 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)
▲ Immediate jeopardy, one-off · Dec 13, 2025 · F-0656 · triggered by a complaint
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 (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: Apr 29, 2025 (Past Non-Compliance)
▲ Immediate jeopardy, one-off · Dec 13, 2025 · F-0803 · triggered by a complaint
The facility's menus did not meet residents' nutritional needs, or were not prepared in advance, followed as written, kept up to date, or reviewed by a dietician.
Why it matters: When menus aren't planned and followed properly, residents may not get the nutrition their health depends on.
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: Apr 29, 2025 (Past Non-Compliance)
▲ Immediate jeopardy, repeated · Aug 7, 2023 · 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 (K): A life-threatening or extremely dangerous situation affected several residents. Among the most serious findings an inspection can produce.
Corrected: Aug 30, 2023 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)

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: Mistakes in dialysis care can quickly become life-threatening for residents with kidney failure.
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: Aug 30, 2023 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)

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) | 2.47 | 3.71 | 3.95 | bottom 2% in Kentucky; bottom 3% in the U.S. |
| Registered Nurse hours | 0.57 | 0.74 | 0.69 | bottom 41% in Kentucky; bottom 48% in the U.S. |
| Weekend total nurse staffing | 2.25 | 3.27 | 3.50 | bottom 3% in Kentucky; bottom 4% in the U.S. |
| Weekend RN hours (not acuity-adjusted) | 0.72 | 0.53 | 0.48 | top 17% in Kentucky; top 15% in the U.S. |
| Total nursing staff turnover (%) | 61.3 | 46.4 | 45.8 | bottom 11% in Kentucky; bottom 15% in the U.S. |
| RN turnover (%) | 60.0 | 41.8 | 42.9 | bottom 21% in Kentucky; bottom 22% 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 3.40, RN 0.79, weekend 3.10. 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.
Quality measures rating: 4/5 · long-stay residents: 4/5 · short-stay residents: —/5
