BEST CARE SERVICES
10 certified nursing homes in 2 states · as recorded by CMS
Across the portfolio
9 of 10 facilities have more citations on file than the median facility in their own state. Each building is compared within its state, not nationally, because which state a facility is in explains about 30% of the variation in citation counts. 9 facilities have at least one tag cited at more than one survey — the recordkeeping pattern rather than a one-off finding. How this is calculated
Improving3 facilities found fewer citations at the latest survey than at earlier surveys in CMS’s current file.
4 facilities are past the typical survey window for their state — surveyed longer ago than most facilities in that state go between surveys. How windows are measured
