Score Breakdown
What the numbers mean
SCOTT COUNTY LTC, INC. scored 56 out of 100 — 8 points below the state average of 64.
📋 Inspections: 12 citations over the last 36 months — 2 fewer than the state average (14). 2 were rated serious (G+) — inspectors found actual or potential harm to residents. 1 finding recurred across inspection cycles — indicating a problem that was not fixed.
👥 Staffing: Staffing is within an acceptable range but not among the highest-performing facilities. Ask about nurse coverage on evenings, nights, and weekends when you visit.
⚠️ Penalties & enforcement: CMS has recorded 1 enforcement action totaling $4,017 against this facility. Penalties are only issued after a facility fails two levels of regulatory review — meaning this is a serious escalation beyond a standard citation. Ask for a written explanation of every fine and what corrective actions were taken.
💬 Complaints: Low complaint activity — few formal complaints from residents or families have triggered inspections. Ask if there is a family council you can speak with.
🚨 Resident quality outcomes: Multiple quality measures are well below national benchmarks — residents may experience higher rates of falls, pain, or hospitalizations than at comparable facilities. Ask management about their improvement plans.

Top concern areas
⚖ Penalties & Enforcement
Federal civil monetary penalties (CMPs) are only issued after a facility has failed two levels of regulatory review — meaning problems were found on inspection and the facility could not rebut the findings. This is a serious escalation beyond a standard citation.
⚠ Each enforcement action required CMS to make a separate non-compliance determination — meaning this facility failed two levels of regulatory review before any fine was issued. Ask management specifically what violations triggered these fines and what corrective steps were taken.
📅 Per-action enforcement records (date, fine amount, and penalty type for each individual action) are sourced from a separate CMS enforcement dataset and will be added in a future data update.
Resident Wellbeing — Key Indicators
