Reading the data
What these CMS ratings mean
Every star column on this page comes straight from CMS’s Five-Star Quality Rating System. Fonteum re-publishes the federal numbers without re-scoring them — the definitions below are CMS’s, not ours.
- Overall star rating
- A 1-to-5 summary CMS derives from the health-inspection, staffing, and quality-measure ratings. It is a relative ranking, not an absolute score — roughly the top fifth of facilities earn 5 stars and the bottom fifth earn 1.
- Health inspection rating
- Based on the three most recent state standard surveys plus any complaint investigations, weighted toward recency. More and more severe deficiencies lower the rating.
- Staffing rating
- Built from payroll-based (PBJ) nurse staffing hours per resident day, case-mix adjusted, including registered-nurse hours and weekend coverage.
- Quality-measure (QM) rating
- Drawn from a set of MDS- and claims-based clinical measures (e.g. pressure ulcers, falls, hospitalisation, antipsychotic use) across short- and long-stay residents.
- Special Focus Facility (SFF)
- A separate CMS program flagging facilities with a persistent pattern of serious health-inspection problems. “SFF” marks an active designation; “SFF Candidate” marks a facility on the candidate list.
