Why this verdict
- Inspection record is far worse than the national median (deficiency count and severity).
- Staffing hours comfortably above national benchmarks.
- No federal fines or payment denials in CMS’s 3-year window.
- Inspection results have improved across recent cycles.
The composite number cleared 76 points, but Recommended is gated: inspection record below the Recommended bar. That rule is part of the published method.
Red flags
No red flags in the current CMS record. Genuinely good news — pair it with an in-person tour before deciding.
Score breakdown
Quality-measure stars are deliberately excluded — they're largely self-reported by facilities. Full method.
