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.

Overall Rating
Composite of Health Inspection, Staffing, and Quality Measures.
2/5
Health Inspection
Based on the three most recent standard surveys, with more weight on recent results.
2/5
Staffing
Weighted combination of RN and total nurse staffing hours per resident per day, case-mix adjusted.
3/5
Quality Measures
15 resident-level quality measures split between long-stay and short-stay (post-acute) residents.

Quality Measures breakdown
Long-Stay Quality Measures 5/5
Short-Stay Quality Measures 3/5

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

Registered Nurse (RN)
Licensed RN hours. Strongest driver of clinical outcomes.
0.43 0.57 0.52 ≥ 0.55 Below floor
Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN)
LPN/LVN hours. Often handles medication administration.

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) 2024-12-20 10 4 6 68 1 68
Cycle 2/3 (prior) 2023-10-25 21 12 11 140 1 140
Total weighted health score

Deficiencies (44)

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).

1 A/B/C No actual harm — minor
39 D/E/F Actual harm — potential for minor
