Why this verdict
- Inspection results are getting worse cycle over cycle, not better.
- Staffing hours comfortably above national benchmarks.
- No federal fines or payment denials in CMS’s 3-year window.
The composite number cleared 77 points, but Recommended is gated: inspection record below the Recommended bar. That rule is part of the published method.
Red flags
Cited under the freedom-from-abuse rule
Cited 1 time under F600 (freedom from abuse/neglect) below the actual-harm level — worth asking about on a tour.
