Flagged by CMS data
This facility has received 1 federal fine(s) but still shows a 5.0-star overall rating. Federal penalties are serious — they indicate violations found during inspections. A high rating alongside recent penalties warrants extra scrutiny.
From the latest CMS Care Compare reconcile
Flagged by CMS data
Unplanned weight loss rate is 9.6% — above the national median of about 6%. In long-stay facilities this is almost always a feeding-assistance failure: residents who need help eating aren't getting it, especially at dinner when staffing thins. Worth asking how dinner-hour staffing compares to lunch.
From the latest CMS Care Compare reconcile
Flagged by CMS data
This facility earned the highest possible health-inspection rating from CMS. That means the inspectors who showed up unannounced, walked the halls, talked to residents, and reviewed records found a clean operation. Worth weighing heavily — inspection ratings are the hardest data point to game.
