STERLING CARE
6 certified nursing homes in 1 state · as recorded by CMS
Across the portfolio
5 of 6 facilities have more citations on file than the median facility in their own state.

How this is calculated
Improving5 facilities found fewer citations at the latest survey than at earlier surveys in CMS’s current file.
