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 · Nov 16, 2023 · F-0687 · triggered by a complaint

The facility did not provide proper foot care for residents. Foot care includes routine care like nail trimming and attention to foot problems, which matter greatly for older adults.

Why it matters: Neglected feet can develop painful sores and infections, especially dangerous for residents with diabetes.

Severity (G): One or a few residents were actually harmed — physically or emotionally — though not put in immediate danger of serious injury or death.

Corrected: Dec 11, 2023 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)

▲ Actual harm, one-off · Nov 26, 2019 · F-0697

The facility did not provide safe and appropriate pain management for a resident who needed it.

Why it matters: Untreated pain causes needless suffering and can lead to depression, poor sleep, and declining health.

Severity (G): One or a few residents were actually harmed — physically or emotionally — though not put in immediate danger of serious injury or death.

Corrected: Dec 21, 2019 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)

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)	3.74	3.45	3.95	top 24% in Ohio; bottom 48% in the U.S.
Registered Nurse hours	0.80	0.60	0.69	top 15% in Ohio; top 28% in the U.S.
Weekend total nurse staffing	3.30	3.07	3.50	top 25% in Ohio; bottom 48% in the U.S.
Weekend RN hours (not acuity-adjusted)	0.37	0.42	0.48	bottom 47% in Ohio; bottom 47% in the U.S.
Total nursing staff turnover (%)	67.5	48.7	45.8	bottom 9% in Ohio; bottom 8% in the U.S.
RN turnover (%)	42.9	43.9	42.9	top 47% in Ohio; bottom 49% 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 3.72, RN 0.79, weekend 3.29. 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.
