CMS 5-Star Ratings

5/5
Health Inspection
Based on the three most recent standard surveys, with more weight on recent results.
4/5
Staffing
Weighted combination of RN and total nurse staffing hours per resident per day, case-mix adjusted.

Staffing & Workforce

Direct-care staffing is the strongest operational driver of quality in nursing homes. Values are hours per resident per day, derived from payroll-based journal (PBJ) submissions. "Case-mix" adjusts for resident acuity; "Adjusted" is the CMS rating-input value.

Registered Nurse (RN)
Licensed RN hours. Strongest driver of clinical outcomes.

Health Inspections

CMS weights three inspection cycles to compute the Health Inspection rating: the most recent (50%), the second most recent (33%), and the oldest (17%). Each standard-survey deficiency is assigned a score based on scope and severity; complaint-survey findings and revisit scores are added to produce the cycle total.

Cycle Date Total defs. Standard Complaint Deficiency score Revisits Total score
Cycle 1 (most recent) 2024-12-13 1 1 1 4 1 4
Cycle 2/3 (prior) 2023-06-02 7 6 1 32 1 32

Deficiencies (12)

Individual survey findings. Scope/severity uses the CMS A–L matrix: letters further down the alphabet indicate greater harm and wider scope, up through J–L (immediate jeopardy).
