What health inspectors found (on-site government inspections — the most independent evidence available)
Health inspection rating: ★★★☆☆3/5 · CMS overall rating: 4/5
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 · Dec 11, 2024 · F-0583 · triggered by a complaint
The facility did not keep residents' personal and medical information private and confidential.
Why it matters: Privacy breaches expose residents' sensitive health and personal details and erode their dignity and trust.
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: Dec 12, 2024 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)
▲ Immediate jeopardy, one-off · Dec 11, 2024 · F-0600 · triggered by a complaint
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.
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: Dec 12, 2024 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)
▲ Immediate jeopardy, one-off · Dec 11, 2024 · F-0607 · triggered by a complaint
The facility did not develop and follow policies and procedures to prevent abuse, neglect, and theft. These written safeguards are the foundation of resident protection.
Why it matters: Without working prevention policies, mistreatment is more likely to happen and less likely to be caught.
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 | Ohio avg | U.S. avg | Where it stands |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Total nurse staffing (hours per resident per day) | 3.90 | 3.45 | 3.95 | top 19% in Ohio; top 44% in the U.S. |
| Registered Nurse hours | 0.64 | 0.60 | 0.69 | top 33% in Ohio; top 43% in the U.S. |
| Weekend total nurse staffing | 3.44 | 3.07 | 3.50 | top 20% in Ohio; top 45% in the U.S. |
| Weekend RN hours (not acuity-adjusted) | 0.43 | 0.42 | 0.48 | top 39% in Ohio; top 44% in the U.S. |
| Total nursing staff turnover (%) | 27.4 | 48.7 | 45.8 | top 5% in Ohio; top 10% in the U.S. |
| RN turnover (%) | 22.2 | 43.9 | 42.9 | top 16% in Ohio; top 17% 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 3.89, RN 0.64, weekend 3.44. Staffing rating: 4/5.
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: 5/5 · long-stay residents: 5/5 · short-stay residents: —/5
