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 9/15 Outcomes 9/15 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.
