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 71 points, but Recommended is gated: inspection record below the Recommended bar. That rule is part of the published method.

Red flags

No red flags in the current CMS record. Genuinely good news — pair it with an in-person tour before deciding.
