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 · Apr 23, 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 (G): One or a few residents were actually harmed — physically or emotionally — though not put in immediate danger of serious injury or death.
Corrected: Apr 12, 2024 (Past Non-Compliance)

Nurse staffing (from payroll records, adjusted for how much care residents need)
| Measure | This facility | Maine avg | U.S. avg | Where it stands |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Total nurse staffing (hours per resident per day) | 3.54 | 4.60 | 3.95 | bottom 4% in Maine; bottom 39% in the U.S. |
| Registered Nurse hours | 0.42 | 1.11 | 0.69 | bottom 1% in Maine; bottom 26% in the U.S. |
| Weekend total nurse staffing | 3.33 | 4.16 | 3.50 | bottom 4% in Maine; bottom 49% in the U.S. |
| Weekend RN hours (not acuity-adjusted) | 0.32 | 0.73 | 0.48 | bottom 6% in Maine; bottom 35% in the U.S. |
| Total nursing staff turnover (%) | 54.0 | 46.7 | 45.8 | bottom 27% in Maine; bottom 27% in the U.S. |
| RN turnover (%) | 62.5 | 40.2 | 42.9 | bottom 13% in Maine; bottom 19% 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 3.34, RN 0.40, weekend 3.14. Staffing rating: 2/5.
Self-reported quality measures
