200 certified beds For profit - Corporation Chain: Seky Holding Co.
Why this verdict
- Inspection results are getting worse cycle over cycle, not better.
- Staffing hours comfortably above national benchmarks.
- No federal fines or payment denials in CMS’s 3-year window.
The composite number cleared 74 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.
