What families should look for:

- Higher quality ratings — 4-5 stars indicate better clinical outcomes
- Fewer inspection problems — Shows consistent compliance with safety standards

Why this matters: Better staffing and quality scores are linked to safer,
more attentive care for residents—and more support and peace of mind for families.
