Why this verdict
- Staffing levels are well below research benchmarks for safe care.
- Inspection results are getting worse cycle over cycle, not better.
- No federal fines or payment denials in CMS’s 3-year window.
The composite number cleared 71 points, but Recommended is gated: staffing below the Recommended bar. That rule is part of the published method.
