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 | 3.92 | 3.85 | 3.93 | ≥ 3.48 | |
| Registered Nurse (RN) Licensed RN hours. Strongest driver of clinical outcomes. | 0.62 | 0.67 | 0.62 | ≥ 0.55 | |
| Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) LPN/LVN hours. Often handles medication administration. | 1.02 | 0.85 | 1.02 | — | |
| Nurse aide CNA hours. Bulk of direct resident care — bathing, feeding, mobility. | 2.28 | 2.32 | 2.29 | — | |
| Licensed (RN + LPN) Combined licensed nurse coverage. | 1.64 | — | — | — | |
| Physical therapist Rehabilitation therapist hours — important for post-acute / rehab admissions. | 0.13 | — | — | — |
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 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 32 | 1 | 32 |
| Cycle 2/3 (prior) | 2022-09-01 | 2 | 2 | 0 | 8 | 1 | 8 |

Deficiencies (13)
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).
