- One star is the lowest rating. Five stars is the highest. These are government ratings, not family reviews.
- Inspection problems
- Inspectors found that a home did not meet a care or safety rule. The official term is “deficiency.”
- Abuse warning
- Medicare has flagged the home because of abuse-related inspection findings. Read the findings and dates.
- Nursing staff time
- Average staff hours for each resident per day. This does not mean each resident gets that much one-to-one care.
