MDS quality measures

These figures are the four-quarter averages published in the CMS MDS Quality Measures file (official release October 28, 2026; measure period 2025Q3-2026Q2; processing date October 1, 2026). They are not a grade this site assigned. A “used in Five-Star” flag is the published CMS field that says whether that measure feeds the quality-measure star rating. Quarterly scores are collapsed under each measure. Official definitions are on the CMS Five-Star page.

Inspection citations

21 health citations in the CMS file (11 from complaint surveys). Highest scope/severity letter in the file: J — Isolated, immediate jeopardy.

The list below is drawn from the CMS Health Deficiencies file. We show the tag, a plain-language reading of the scope and severity letter, whether the survey was a standard or complaint survey, the survey date, and whether CMS recorded a correction. We do not reprint the official deficiency narrative here. Read that text on TULIP or Medicare.gov. A facility may appeal a finding; a successful appeal can alter or remove a citation.

Scope and severity letters (A–L)

CMS assigns one letter from a grid of scope (how widely a problem was found) and severity (how serious the harm was or could be). The short labels below are our wording of that grid, not a different rating system.

Scope and severity letters used in CMS health citations
Severity	Isolated	Pattern	Widespread
Potential for minimal harm	A	B	C
No actual harm, potential for more than minimal harm	D	E	F
Actual harm	G	H	I
