What health inspectors found (on-site government inspections — the most independent evidence available)
Health inspection rating: ★★★☆☆3/5 · CMS overall rating: 4/5
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 · Nov 6, 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.
Corrected: Nov 26, 2024 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)
▲ Actual harm, one-off · Sep 12, 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: Oct 25, 2019 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)

|---|---|---|
| Mar 26, 2025 | F · Potential for harm, facility-wide | The facility did not have or follow an effective program to prevent and control infections — such as proper hand washing, cleaning, and isolation practices. This is the most commonly cited deficiency nationwide. · from a complaint |

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) | 3.24 | 3.45 | 3.95 | bottom 43% in Ohio; bottom 24% in the U.S. |
| Registered Nurse hours | 0.41 | 0.60 | 0.69 | bottom 22% in Ohio; bottom 24% in the U.S. |
| Weekend total nurse staffing | 2.97 | 3.07 | 3.50 | top 47% in Ohio; bottom 29% in the U.S. |
| Weekend RN hours (not acuity-adjusted) | 0.31 | 0.42 | 0.48 | bottom 33% in Ohio; bottom 35% in the U.S. |
| Total nursing staff turnover (%) | 42.7 | 48.7 | 45.8 | top 34% in Ohio; top 44% in the U.S. |
| RN turnover (%) | 50.0 | 43.9 | 42.9 | bottom 43% in Ohio; bottom 39% 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 3.53, RN 0.45, weekend 3.23. 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: 5/5 · long-stay residents: 5/5 · short-stay residents: 3/5
