How this grade was calculated

Every point is shown. Nothing is weighted behind the scenes — the full formula is on How we grade.

Inspection 30/30 Staffing 15/30 Stability 15/15 Outcomes 5/15 Enforcement 10/10

A full pentagon is full marks. The shape shows what kind of good or bad a home is — two homes can share a score and look nothing alike.

Inspection safety

30/30

Citations from state health inspections over the last three surveys, weighted by how much harm CMS says they caused.

Staffing

15/30

Nursing hours per resident per day, adjusted for how sick the residents are.

  • No staffing hours reported — scored neutral

Staff stability

15/15

How much of the nursing team leaves in a year. High turnover means a resident rarely sees the same face twice.

  • 23% of nursing staff left in the last year

Resident outcomes

5/15

The CMS quality-measure rating, built from resident outcomes like falls, pressure ulcers, infections and antipsychotic use.

  • 2 of 5 stars on the CMS quality-measure rating

Enforcement history

10/10

Fines and payment denials CMS has imposed. A denial of payment means CMS stopped paying for new admissions.
