Why this verdict

  • Staffing levels are well below research benchmarks for safe care.
  • Cleaner inspection record than most facilities nationally.
  • No federal fines or payment denials in CMS’s 3-year window.

The composite number cleared 79 points, but Recommended is gated: staffing below the Recommended bar. That rule is part of the published method.
