Quality & Compliance Index (lighter deficiency book)
Its CMS deficiency count sits in the lighter U.S. deficiency tercile (≤16). A transparent composite of this facility's CMS Care Compare sub-ratings and its federal inspection record. It complements, and does not replace, the official CMS overall star rating, which this facility does not yet carry. How this is calculated.
How the 91 is built
Each segment is a dimension's weighted points toward the score, summing to 91.
Weights: health inspections 30%, staffing 25%, quality measures 25%, inspection record 20%; any dimension CMS has not published drops out and its weight redistributes (no silent deflation). Inspection record is benchmarked against all rated US nursing homes. Source: CMS Nursing Home Compare.
