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 · Aug 14, 2025 · 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 (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: Sep 22, 2025 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)
▲ Immediate jeopardy, one-off · May 1, 2025 · F-0689 · triggered by a complaint
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 (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.

| Date | Severity | What the facility was cited for |
|---|---|---|
| Aug 14, 2025 | ▲ J · Immediate jeopardy, one-off | 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. |

Nurse staffing (from payroll records, adjusted for how much care residents need)
| Measure | This facility | Tennessee avg | U.S. avg | Where it stands |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Total nurse staffing (hours per resident per day) | 2.82 | 3.62 | 3.95 | bottom 10% in Tennessee; bottom 9% in the U.S. |
| Registered Nurse hours | 0.48 | 0.57 | 0.69 | bottom 45% in Tennessee; bottom 36% in the U.S. |
| Weekend total nurse staffing | 2.49 | 3.15 | 3.50 | bottom 10% in Tennessee; bottom 9% in the U.S. |
| Weekend RN hours (not acuity-adjusted) | 0.49 | 0.39 | 0.48 | top 23% in Tennessee; top 34% in the U.S. |
| Total nursing staff turnover (%) | 52.8 | 48.9 | 45.8 | bottom 40% in Tennessee; bottom 30% in the U.S. |
| RN turnover (%) | 60.0 | 43.2 | 42.9 | bottom 22% in Tennessee; 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 2.99, RN 0.51, weekend 2.64. 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.
