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 | 1.73 | 3.18 | 2.10 | ≥ 3.48 | Below floor |
| Registered Nurse (RN) Licensed RN hours. Strongest driver of clinical outcomes. | 0.50 | 0.56 | 0.61 | ≥ 0.55 | Below floor |
| Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) LPN/LVN hours. Often handles medication administration. | 0.14 | 0.71 | 0.17 | — | |
| Nurse aide CNA hours. Bulk of direct resident care — bathing, feeding, mobility. | 1.09 | 1.92 | 1.33 | — | |
| Licensed (RN + LPN) Combined licensed nurse coverage. | 0.64 | — | — | — | |
| Physical therapist Rehabilitation therapist hours — important for post-acute / rehab admissions. | 0.00 | — | — | — |
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.

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) | 2025-01-07 | 7 | 7 | 0 | 52 | 1 | 52 |
| Cycle 2/3 (prior) | 2023-10-12 | 6 | 6 | 0 | 28 | 1 | 28 |

Deficiencies (18)
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
17 D/E/F Actual harm — potential for minor
