CMS Overall Rating
CMS 5-Star Ratings
CMS rates every Medicare/Medicaid-certified nursing home on four domains. The Overall rating is driven primarily by Health Inspection results, then adjusted up or down by Staffing and Quality Measures.
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.
| Role | Reported | Case-mix expected | Adjusted | Federal floor | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Total nurse All nursing staff combined: RN + LPN + Aide | 3.79 | 3.66 | 4.00 | ≥ 3.48 | |
| Registered Nurse (RN) Licensed RN hours. Strongest driver of clinical outcomes. | 0.63 | 0.64 | 0.66 | ≥ 0.55 | |
| Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) LPN/LVN hours. Often handles medication administration. | 1.03 | 0.81 | 1.09 | — | |
| Nurse aide CNA hours. Bulk of direct resident care — bathing, feeding, mobility. | 2.13 | 2.21 | 2.25 | — | |
| Licensed (RN + LPN) Combined licensed nurse coverage. | 1.66 | — | — | — | |
| Physical therapist Rehabilitation therapist hours — important for post-acute / rehab admissions. | 0.05 | — | — | — |
Federal minimums (phasing in under the CMS 2024 minimum staffing rule) shown for reference. RN: 0.55 hrs/resident/day. Total nurse: 3.48 hrs/resident/day.

Weekend under-staffing is a common quality-of-care concern — adverse events are more frequent when licensed coverage drops.

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) | 2025-02-13 | 15 | 12 | 15 | 76 | 1 | 76 |
| Cycle 2/3 (prior) | 2024-03-20 | 10 | 9 | 4 | 44 | 1 | 44 |

Deficiencies (34)
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).
