Among the highest Medicare ratings

What do the ratings and warnings mean?

Medicare ratings: 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.
