How to read this table: "Overall" is the CMS star rating, which combines inspections, staffing, and self-reported quality measures; "Inspection" is the on-site health inspection rating — the most independent signal, and the one CMS grades on a curve against other facilities in the same state. Flags are federal abuse citations and Special Focus status.
