The DHSR star rating is the state's rating, not ours. DHSR: each facility “begins with a base score of 100 points. Based on the facility's compliance or non-compliance with rule areas during inspections, the facility earns merit or demerit points which are added or subtracted from the 100 base points.” Scale: 4 stars = 100 or more points on two consecutive annual surveys; 3 stars = 90.0 to 99.9 points (or 100 or more on one annual inspection); 2 stars = 80.0 to 89.9; 1 star = 70.0 to 79.9; 0 stars = 69.9 or lower.

DHSR: “months will typically pass between inspections and much could change for the better or worse in a facility between inspections. Therefore, it is advised that consumers visit the facility themselves before making such an important decision.”

Type A1 violation: “a violation by a facility of applicable laws and regulations governing a facility which results in death or serious physical harm, abuse, neglect, or exploitation of a resident.”

Type A2 violation: “a violation by a facility of applicable laws and regulations governing the licensure of a facility which results in substantial risk that death or serious physical harm, abuse, neglect, or exploitation will occur.”

Type B violation: “a violation by a facility of applicable laws and regulations governing a facility which is detrimental to the health, safety, or welfare of any resident, but which does not result in substantial risk that death or serious physical harm, abuse, neglect, or exploitation will occur.” There is no fine for a Type B violation; an “Unabated B” is one not corrected within 45 days, which can be fined up to $400 a day.

A deficiency cited without a violation type is a rule not met that DHSR did not classify as a Type A or Type B violation.

IDR pending means the facility asked for Informal Dispute Resolution, “a process that gives a facility the opportunity to dispute all or some of the findings of a state inspection.”
