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, facility-wide · Jan 15, 2026 · F-0880
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.
Why it matters: Weak infection control lets illnesses like flu, COVID-19, and drug-resistant infections spread quickly among vulnerable residents.
Severity (L): A life-threatening or extremely dangerous situation existed throughout the facility. The single most serious citation CMS can issue.
Corrected: Feb 21, 2026 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)
▲ Actual harm, one-off · Nov 14, 2025 · F-0697 · triggered by a complaint
The facility did not provide safe and appropriate pain management for a resident who needed it.
Why it matters: Untreated pain causes needless suffering and can lead to depression, poor sleep, and declining health.
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: Feb 21, 2026 (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) | 3.52 | 3.71 | 3.95 | top 43% in Kentucky; bottom 38% in the U.S. |
| Registered Nurse hours | 0.58 | 0.74 | 0.69 | bottom 41% in Kentucky; bottom 49% in the U.S. |
| Weekend total nurse staffing | 3.13 | 3.27 | 3.50 | top 40% in Kentucky; bottom 38% in the U.S. |
| Weekend RN hours (not acuity-adjusted) | 0.52 | 0.53 | 0.48 | top 38% in Kentucky; top 30% in the U.S. |
| Total nursing staff turnover (%) | 57.4 | 46.4 | 45.8 | bottom 17% in Kentucky; bottom 20% in the U.S. |
| RN turnover (%) | 80.0 | 41.8 | 42.9 | bottom 4% in Kentucky; bottom 6% 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 3.49, RN 0.57, weekend 3.11. 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: 4/5 · short-stay residents: 1/5
