CMS star ratings — CMS's own composite; the ledger below is the underlying record

Overall
Much above average · CMS composite of the three below
Health inspection
Much above average · from the two most recent standard surveys
Staffing
Much above average · nurse hours vs. resident needs
Quality measures
Much above average · facility-reported clinical measures

Health inspection stars are graded on a curve within each state — they don't compare across state lines. The quality-measures star is based largely on assessments the facility reports about itself. How the ratings work.

Health inspection citation ledger

Everything CMS currently publishes for this facility (about three survey cycles). The star rating above counts only the two most recent standard surveys, so this ledger remembers more than the stars do. Fire-safety inspections are published separately by CMS and aren't shown here. Full inspection reports (Form CMS-2567, with the inspectors' complete findings) are on this facility's Medicare.gov page.
