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.

The composite number cleared 73 points, but Recommended is gated: inspection record below the Recommended bar; CMS rates its health inspections "much below average". That rule is part of the published method.
