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.
  • Inspection results have improved across recent cycles.

The composite number cleared 78 points, but Recommended is gated: staffing below the Recommended bar. That rule is part of the published method.

Red flags

Cited under the freedom-from-abuse rule

Cited 1 time under F600 (freedom from abuse/neglect) below the actual-harm level — worth asking about on a tour.

RN staffing in the bottom 10% nationally

0.27 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

2.91 reported hours vs the 3.48 minimum CMS's own staffing study recommends.

75% of nursing staff left within a year

High turnover disrupts continuity of care; the national median is 45%.

No standard inspection in over 2 years

The inspection record here is older than usual — conditions may have changed since.
