Every point is shown. Nothing is weighted behind the scenes — the full formula is on How we grade.
Citations from state health inspections over the last three surveys, weighted by how much harm CMS says they caused.
Nursing hours per resident per day, adjusted for how sick the residents are, plus RN cover and weekend consistency.
How much of the nursing team leaves in a year. High turnover means a resident rarely sees the same face twice.
The CMS quality-measure rating, built from resident outcomes like falls, pressure ulcers, infections and antipsychotic use.
Fines and payment denials CMS has imposed. A denial of payment means CMS stopped paying for new admissions.
Hours of nursing care each resident receives per day. The marker on each bar is the national average.
RNs are the licence level most likely to catch a resident deteriorating.
The shift most families visit, and the one thinned first.
The share of nursing staff who left over the last year.
