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)
▲ Actual harm, one-off · Mar 26, 2026 · F-0689 · triggered by a complaint

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.

| Date | Severity | What the facility was cited for |

| May 25, 2023 | D · Potential for harm, one-off | The facility did not try to gradually reduce doses of mood- and mind-altering medications or use non-drug approaches first, as required, or used 'as needed' psychiatric drugs without proper limits. |
| May 25, 2023 | D · Potential for harm, one-off | The facility did not provide each resident with a nourishing, tasty, well-balanced diet that meets their daily nutritional and special dietary needs. |

Nurse staffing (from payroll records, adjusted for how much care residents need)
| Measure | This facility | Wyoming avg | U.S. avg | Where it stands |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Total nurse staffing (hours per resident per day) | 3.77 | 4.47 | 3.95 | bottom 40% in Wyoming; top 50% in the U.S. |
| Registered Nurse hours | 0.81 | 1.09 | 0.69 | bottom 40% in Wyoming; top 27% in the U.S. |
| Weekend total nurse staffing | 3.54 | 3.89 | 3.50 | bottom 43% in Wyoming; top 40% in the U.S. |
| Weekend RN hours (not acuity-adjusted) | 0.59 | 0.65 | 0.48 | top 49% in Wyoming; top 24% in the U.S. |
| Total nursing staff turnover (%) | 44.3 | 51.8 | 45.8 | top 37% in Wyoming; top 48% in the U.S. |
| RN turnover (%) | 36.4 | 44.1 | 42.9 | top 41% in Wyoming; top 40% 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 3.51, RN 0.75, weekend 3.30. Staffing rating: 4/5.
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: 3/5 · long-stay residents: 5/5 · short-stay residents: 1/5
