Why this verdict
- Inspectors found immediate jeopardy — danger of serious harm or death — in the most recent cycle (1 citation).
- Inspection record is far worse than the national median (deficiency count and severity).
- Staffing hours comfortably above national benchmarks.
- No federal fines or payment denials in CMS’s 3-year window.
The composite number cleared 70 points, but Recommended is gated: inspection record below the Recommended bar; CMS rates its health inspections "much below average"; immediate-jeopardy citation in the current inspection cycle. That rule is part of the published method.
