What each sub-rating measures

Size and setting
Located in California, Missouri, this facility operates 60 certified beds with an average daily census of roughly 34 residents - an occupancy rate of about 57%. The facility is classified under for profit - corporation ownership, a designation that can influence staffing patterns, reinvestment decisions, and admissions policy. At roughly 57% occupancy, this facility has meaningful open capacity relative to its certified bed count.
Same-ownership peers

Its 5-star overall rating sits above the for profit - corporation-segment average of 2.5 stars, ahead of roughly 89% of same-ownership peers in the state.

Inspection record

This volume of findings is worth reading past the count: CMS's F-tag scale separates isolated, low-harm citations from widespread or immediate-jeopardy ones, and only the full report shows which this facility has.
Where these figures come from
The figures above come directly from the U.S. Centers for Medicare \& Medicaid Services Nursing Home Compare dataset for federal quality ratings, combined with the CareScout 2025 Cost of Care Survey of more than 15,000 elder-care providers nationwide and U.S. Census American Community Survey income data. Cost figures are monthly medians, refreshed annually with each new CareScout release; quality ratings are refreshed quarterly from the CMS Provider Information File. Read these state and county medians as benchmarks, then verify current rates with individual providers and consult care managers before making placement decisions.
