CMS (the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services) is the federal agency that rates nursing home quality. Its Overall Rating runs from 1 to 5 stars, combining health inspections, staffing, and quality measures, with inspections weighted most heavily.

Carmel Manor is a 175-bed skilled nursing, memory care, and personal care community in Fort Thomas, Kentucky, offering skilled nursing, short-term rehabilitation, memory care, personal care, and respite services. The facility is operated by The Carmelite Sisters For The Aged And Infirm, a voluntary nonprofit organization. It accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay.
Carmel Manor holds a 1-star CMS overall rating, driven by its Health Inspection score, which ranks in the bottom fifth of Kentucky’s 186 rated skilled nursing facilities. Across inspections since 2019, the facility accumulated 37 total health citations — nearly three times the Kentucky average of 13.5 — including 7 critical and 4 serious citations; a May 2025 follow-up visit confirmed substantial compliance with the accepted plan of correction. CMS assessed $312,000 in civil money penalties, anchored by a $292,000 fine in July 2025 associated with three critical abuse-and-neglect citations, as well as a four-day payment denial in March 2025.
Staffing is the facility’s clearest counterpoint: nurse staffing averages 4 hours and 34 minutes per resident per day, 32% above the Kentucky average, earning a 4-star CMS staffing rating and a top-20 statewide rank out of 184 facilities.
The facility’s occupancy rate is 54% — well below Kentucky’s average of 81.3% — indicating current bed availability. Private pay accounts for 67% of admissions, with an average length of stay near 200 days.
Carmel Manor’s rehabilitation services, above-average nursing staff hours, and current availability make it well-suited to short-term post-acute stays and personal care placements in Campbell County. However, families should review the facility’s inspection history, abuse-related citations, and federal penalties before making a placement decision.
The Overall CMS Rating combines results from health inspections, staffing levels and quality measures. Health inspections carry the most weight. Staffing and quality scores can increase or decrease the final rating based on performance compared to state and national standards.
Based on the results of the facility's three most recent standard inspections and any complaint investigations. CMS reviews the number, scope, and severity of deficiencies, with more recent findings weighted more heavily.
Measures average nursing staff hours per resident per day, including Registered Nurses (RNs) and total nursing staff. Ratings are adjusted based on the level of care residents require and are compared to state and national benchmarks.
Based on clinical and physical health indicators reported to CMS, such as hospital readmissions, falls, pressure ulcers, and improvements in mobility. These measures reflect how well residents' health needs are being managed.

This home is ranked 16th out of 184 homes in Kentucky for nurse hours. Total adjusted nursing hours per resident per day, combining RN, LPN, and aide time. CMS adjusts this for case-mix so facilities can be fairly compared.
| Staff type | Hours / Day / Resident | vs state avg |
|---|---|---|
|
Registered Nurse (RN)
RNs hold the highest nursing license and can assess residents, interpret test results, and direct care plans. More RN hours per day often signals stronger clinical oversight and faster response to health changes.
| 46m per day | ■ Avg State avg: 46m per day · National avg: 41m per day |
|
LPN / LVN
Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) or Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) deliver routine hands-on care — medication administration, wound dressing, and monitoring vital signs. They work under RN supervision and make up a large share of daily bedside care.
| 1h 2m per day | ▲ 29% State avg: 48m per day · National avg: 52m per day |
|
Nurse Aide
Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) provide the most direct day-to-day assistance: bathing, dressing, feeding, and mobility. Nurse aide hours are typically the largest staffing category and directly affect residents' quality of life.
| 2h 34m per day | ▲ 6% State avg: 2h 24m per day · National avg: 2h 20m per day |
|
Weekend Total Nursing
Combined nursing hours (RN + LPN + Nurse Aide) per resident per day on weekends. Staffing often drops on weekends — this figure reveals whether the facility maintains adequate coverage outside of weekday hours.
| 4h 7m per day | ▲ 17% State avg: 3h 32m per day · National avg: 3h 27m per day |
|
Physical Therapist
Hours per resident per day provided by licensed Physical Therapists (PTs) or PT Assistants. PT services help residents recover mobility after injury or illness and are especially important for post-acute (short-stay) rehabilitation.
| 4m per day | ▼ 7% State avg: 4m per day · National avg: 4m per day |
|
Weekend RN
Registered nurse hours specifically on weekends. Facilities sometimes reduce RN presence on Saturdays and Sundays — a low weekend RN figure compared to weekday hours can indicate reduced clinical oversight when most administrative staff are absent.
| 30m per day | ▼ 3% State avg: 31m per day · National avg: 29m per day |
