  • $26,685 in federal fines

Our read on Charlestown Place At New Albany

Charlestown Place At New Albany runs a hospital-district operation with 158 beds, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.01 hours per resident day, roughly 4% above the national average. That edge narrows on weekends, when coverage drops about 10% below its own weekday level, and it's undercut by turnover of 64.9% against a national 45.8%, meaning a large share of caregivers are still new to the building. The inspection record is the harder problem: 52 deficiencies, four of them at harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse, with two fines totaling $31,784 and a health inspection rating of 1 out of 5. The most recent inspection was August 2025, so that picture is current, not stale. Quality measures score well; the day-to-day care environment is where the risk concentrates.
