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.
