Why this verdict
- 3 citations involved actual harm to residents.
- Inspection results have improved across recent cycles.
The composite number cleared 72 points, but Recommended is gated: inspection record below the Recommended bar. That rule is part of the published method.
Red flags
Medicare/Medicaid payments were denied
CMS refused payment for new admissions for a period — one of its strongest enforcement tools.
