Why this verdict
- Staffing levels are well below research benchmarks for safe care.
- Cleaner inspection record than most facilities nationally.
- 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
Total nurse staffing below 3.0 hours per resident-day
2.39 reported hours vs the 3.48 minimum CMS's own staffing study recommends.
77% of nursing staff left within a year
High turnover disrupts continuity of care; the national median is 45%.
