Star ratings over time
Overall rating in CMS's files: 3 in 2019-01, 1 now. Lowest 1, highest 4, across 10 changes.
Care Compare shows only today's rating. These are the ratings every monthly edition since January 2019 carried, one row per stretch of the same overall rating; a component that moved within a stretch is shown as a range. A rating moves when the home changes and also when CMS recalculates, and nothing here says why a rating changed. In most editions about 5% of rated homes change overall rating; in CMS's quarterly refreshes 24–28% do, so a change landing in one of those is common.

What this is, and what it is not
CMS publishes nursing-home penalties as a rolling three-year window. When a penalty turns three it leaves the current file, and Care Compare and the tools built on it stop showing it. CMS keeps monthly archive copies of the whole dataset, and this page is built from every one of them since January 2019. Each date under Listed by CMS links to the archived edition that listed the penalty, so any row can be checked against CMS's own file.
A penalty that is no longer shown was, in almost every case, not withdrawn: it aged out. One that left early is marked, and the file does not say why; appeals, settlements and corrections are all possible. Amounts are as CMS published them. Payment denials are counted in days, not dollars. This page states records; it is not legal advice and makes no finding about the care this home provides.
