Reading these numbers: CMS star ratings are relative percentile rankings within each state, not absolute clinical scores, a 3-star rating means roughly average for that state, not poor care. Deficiency counts vary with survey timing and citation severity (scope and severity letters A-L). Always pair these figures with an in-person visit and direct conversations with staff and residents' families.
