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.
Most serious findings (actual harm or immediate jeopardy)
▲ Immediate jeopardy, facility-wide · Mar 31, 2022 · F-0812

Corrected: May 2, 2022 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)
▲ Immediate jeopardy, facility-wide · Mar 31, 2022 · F-0835

Corrected: May 2, 2022 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)
▲ Immediate jeopardy, repeated · Mar 31, 2022 · F-0559
The facility did not honor residents' right to share a room with their spouse or a roommate of their choosing, or moved residents to a different room without written notice beforehand.

Corrected: May 2, 2022 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)
▲ Immediate jeopardy, repeated · Mar 31, 2022 · F-0745
The facility did not provide the social services residents need — such as counseling, help with adjustment, or connecting to outside resources — to achieve the best possible quality of life.
Why it matters: Without social services support, residents can struggle emotionally and miss out on help they're entitled to.
Severity (K): A life-threatening or extremely dangerous situation affected several residents. Among the most serious findings an inspection can produce.
Corrected: May 2, 2022 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)
▲ Immediate jeopardy, one-off · Mar 31, 2022 · F-0557

Why it matters: Disrespectful treatment or losing cherished belongings hurts a resident's sense of self and well-being.
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: May 2, 2022 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)
▲ Immediate jeopardy, one-off · Mar 31, 2022 · F-0600
The facility did not protect residents from abuse or neglect. This covers physical, mental, and sexual abuse, physical punishment, and neglect, by anyone — staff, other residents, or visitors.
Why it matters: Abuse and neglect cause direct physical and emotional harm and are among the most serious failures a nursing home can have.

▲ Immediate jeopardy, one-off · Mar 31, 2022 · F-0609
The facility did not report suspected abuse, neglect, or theft to the proper authorities quickly enough, or did not report the results of its investigation.
Why it matters: When incidents aren't reported promptly, abusers may continue harming residents and outside authorities can't step in.
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: May 2, 2022 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)
▲ Immediate jeopardy, one-off · Mar 31, 2022 · F-0656
The facility did not develop or follow a complete care plan for each resident — the written roadmap covering all of a resident's needs, with measurable goals and timelines.
Why it matters: Without a complete, working care plan, important needs can slip through the cracks and no one is accountable for results.
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.

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) | 2.80 | 3.71 | 3.95 | bottom 11% in Kentucky; bottom 8% in the U.S. |
| Registered Nurse hours | 0.30 | 0.74 | 0.69 | bottom 3% in Kentucky; bottom 10% in the U.S. |
| Weekend total nurse staffing | 2.49 | 3.27 | 3.50 | bottom 14% in Kentucky; bottom 9% in the U.S. |
| Weekend RN hours (not acuity-adjusted) | 0.16 | 0.53 | 0.48 | bottom 4% in Kentucky; bottom 6% in the U.S. |

| RN turnover (%) | 85.7 | 41.8 | 42.9 | bottom 1% in Kentucky; bottom 3% 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 3.97, RN 0.43, weekend 3.54. Staffing rating: 1/5.
