⚑ marks a facility CMS cited for abuse.
The overall rating folds together inspections, staffing and quality measures. Inspections carry the most weight.
Staffing hours are the number to read on your own. A five-rated home with thin registered nurse cover is a different place at three in the morning.
Visit before you decide. Go without an appointment. The record here tells you where to look, not what you will find.
