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)
▲ Immediate jeopardy, one-off · May 20, 2024 · 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.

| May 11, 2021 | E · Potential for harm, repeated | The facility did not provide activities that meet residents' needs and interests. Nursing homes must offer meaningful activity programs, not just leave residents idle. |

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) | 2.68 | 3.45 | 3.95 | bottom 8% in Ohio; bottom 6% in the U.S. |
| Registered Nurse hours | 0.50 | 0.60 | 0.69 | bottom 41% in Ohio; bottom 38% in the U.S. |
| Weekend total nurse staffing | 2.50 | 3.07 | 3.50 | bottom 12% in Ohio; bottom 9% in the U.S. |
| Weekend RN hours (not acuity-adjusted) | 0.68 | 0.42 | 0.48 | top 9% in Ohio; top 17% in the U.S. |

| RN turnover (%) | 73.7 | 43.9 | 42.9 | bottom 10% in Ohio; bottom 9% 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 3.60, RN 0.68, weekend 3.34. Staffing rating: 1/5.
Self-reported quality measures
