Why this verdict
- Staffing levels are well below research benchmarks for safe care.
- No federal fines or payment denials in CMS’s 3-year window.
- Inspection results have improved across recent cycles.
The composite number cleared 75 points, but Recommended is gated: staffing 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.
Score breakdown
Quality-measure stars are deliberately excluded — they're largely self-reported by facilities. Full method.
