What health inspectors found (on-site government inspections — the most independent evidence available)
Health inspection rating: ★☆☆☆☆1/5 · 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)
▲ Actual harm, one-off · Oct 28, 2025 · F-0686 · triggered by a complaint
The facility did not provide proper care for pressure ulcers (bedsores) or did not do enough to prevent new ones from forming. Bedsores develop when residents stay in one position too long without help moving.
Why it matters: Bedsores are painful, can become deeply infected, and in serious cases can be life-threatening.
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 29, 2025 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)
▲ Actual harm, one-off · Oct 28, 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 27, 2024 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)
▲ Actual harm, one-off · Jul 29, 2024 · F-0677 · triggered by a complaint
The facility did not provide the help residents need with basic daily activities — like bathing, dressing, eating, and using the bathroom — for residents who cannot do these things on their own.
Why it matters: Residents who don't get this help can suffer poor hygiene, skin breakdown, weight loss, and a loss of dignity.
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: Jun 26, 2024 (Past Non-Compliance)

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) | 2.90 | 3.45 | 3.95 | bottom 17% in Ohio; bottom 11% in the U.S. |
| Registered Nurse hours | 0.32 | 0.60 | 0.69 | bottom 6% in Ohio; bottom 11% in the U.S. |
| Weekend total nurse staffing | 2.64 | 3.07 | 3.50 | bottom 21% in Ohio; bottom 14% in the U.S. |
| Weekend RN hours (not acuity-adjusted) | 0.25 | 0.42 | 0.48 | bottom 18% in Ohio; bottom 21% in the U.S. |
| Total nursing staff turnover (%) | 72.1 | 48.7 | 45.8 | bottom 5% in Ohio; bottom 5% in the U.S. |
| RN turnover (%) | 87.5 | 43.9 | 42.9 | bottom 3% in Ohio; bottom 3% 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 3.08, RN 0.34, weekend 2.80. 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.
