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.
The composite number cleared 71 points, but Recommended is gated: staffing below the Recommended bar. That rule is part of the published method.
Red flags
RN staffing in the bottom 10% nationally
0.16 registered-nurse hours per resident per day, vs a 0.58 national median and 0.75 benchmark.
Total nurse staffing below 3.0 hours per resident-day
2.55 reported hours vs the 3.48 minimum CMS's own staffing study recommends.
