What health inspectors found (on-site government inspections — the most independent evidence available)

Health inspection rating: ★★★☆☆3/5 · CMS overall rating: 3/5

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.

All citations in the current public record (6)

CMS publishes roughly the last three inspection cycles plus recent complaint investigations. Older surveys drop out of the record as new ones are completed.

Date	Severity	What the facility was cited for
Dec 19, 2025	E · Potential for harm, repeated	The facility did not keep its building and grounds safe, functional, clean, and comfortable for residents, staff, and visitors.
Dec 19, 2025	D · Potential for harm, one-off	The facility did not keep residents' personal and medical information private and confidential.
Dec 19, 2025	D · Potential for harm, one-off	The facility did not develop a resident's complete plan of care within 7 days of the full assessment, or the plan wasn't prepared, reviewed, and updated by a team of health professionals as required.
Dec 19, 2025	D · Potential for harm, one-off	The facility did not provide treatment and care that follows the doctor's orders and matches the resident's own preferences and goals.
Dec 19, 2025	D · Potential for harm, 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.
Aug 1, 2019	D · Potential for harm, one-off	The facility did not label drugs according to professional standards or did not store them in locked compartments, with controlled drugs (medications with a high risk of misuse) kept under a separate lock.

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)	3.02	3.71	3.95	bottom 23% in Kentucky; bottom 14% in the U.S.
Registered Nurse hours	0.69	0.74	0.69	top 41% in Kentucky; top 37% in the U.S.
Weekend total nurse staffing	2.69	3.27	3.50	bottom 26% in Kentucky; bottom 16% in the U.S.
Weekend RN hours (not acuity-adjusted)	0.46	0.53	0.48	top 48% in Kentucky; top 38% in the U.S.
Total nursing staff turnover (%)	39.4	46.4	45.8	top 28% in Kentucky; top 35% in the U.S.
RN turnover (%)	23.5	41.8	42.9	top 15% in Kentucky; top 19% 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 3.43, RN 0.78, weekend 3.05. Staffing rating: 3/5.

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: 2/5
