Columns: overall Medicare star rating (1 to 5); health citations from the last three inspection cycles; most serious scope-and-severity letter (A to L; G or higher means actual harm or immediate jeopardy); how many citations were at level G or higher; total fines in Medicare’s Penalties file (about the last three years); reported nurse staffing in hours per resident per day (Alaska average 6.57). A dash means Medicare reports no value.
How these numbers are made
All values come from the Medicare (CMS) Provider Data Catalog files Health Deficiencies, Penalties, Provider Information and State US Averages (data updated October 1, 2026; penalties file updated October 1, 2026). A citation (deficiency) is counted once per tag and inspection. “Last three inspection cycles” are the cycles Medicare publishes; they cover about three years. Fines are the sum of the fine amounts in the Penalties file. Nothing is rated or ranked by us: the order is only the stated sort. A citation shows what inspectors found on the dates given; read each home’s page and the inspection reports on Medicare Care Compare before you decide.
