What health inspectors found (on-site government inspections — the most independent evidence available)
Health inspection rating: ★★★★☆4/5 · 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.
All citations in the current public record (5)
CMS publishes roughly the last three inspection cycles plus recent complaint investigations. Older surveys drop out of the record as new ones are completed.

|---|---|---|
| Apr 17, 2025 | F · Potential for harm, facility-wide | 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. |
| Apr 17, 2025 | E · Potential for harm, repeated | 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. |
| Apr 17, 2025 | D · Potential for harm, one-off | The facility did not honor residents' right to voice complaints without discrimination or retaliation, or did not have a working complaint process that resolves issues promptly. · from a complaint |
| Apr 17, 2025 | D · Potential for harm, one-off | The facility provided care that did not meet professional standards of quality — the accepted standards that nurses and other clinicians are expected to follow. |

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) | 3.08 | 3.71 | 3.95 | bottom 28% in Kentucky; bottom 17% in the U.S. |
| Registered Nurse hours | 0.51 | 0.74 | 0.69 | bottom 33% in Kentucky; bottom 40% in the U.S. |
| Weekend total nurse staffing | 2.71 | 3.27 | 3.50 | bottom 26% in Kentucky; bottom 17% in the U.S. |
| Weekend RN hours (not acuity-adjusted) | 0.40 | 0.53 | 0.48 | bottom 42% in Kentucky; top 48% in the U.S. |
| Total nursing staff turnover (%) | 48.9 | 46.4 | 45.8 | bottom 37% in Kentucky; bottom 40% in the U.S. |
| RN turnover (%) | 61.1 | 41.8 | 42.9 | bottom 17% in Kentucky; bottom 20% 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 3.77, RN 0.63, weekend 3.32. Staffing rating: 2/5.
