Score Breakdown
What the numbers mean
PENNWOOD OPERATING LLC scored 35 out of 100 — 30 points below the state average of 65.
📋 Inspections: 97 citations over the last 36 months — 66 more than the state average (31). 6 were rated serious (G+) — inspectors found actual or potential harm to residents.
⚠️ Staffing: Staffing levels are below average. Lower staffing is associated with longer response times, more pressure injuries, and higher hospitalization rates. Ask the facility directly about their RN-to-resident ratio and how they handle shortfalls.
⚠️ Penalties & enforcement: CMS has recorded 5 enforcement actions totaling $402,762 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: Some complaint-driven inspections have occurred. These are unannounced visits triggered by formal concerns from residents, families, or staff. Ask the facility how they handle resident grievances.
📊 Resident quality outcomes: Quality outcome measures are in an acceptable range. Some measures are at or near national benchmarks. Review the quality section in the full report for specifics.
What inspectors found (last 3 surveys)
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
These are the measures families ask about most. They come from CMS clinical assessments of every resident — not just inspection reports. Stars (★) count toward the official CMS quality star rating.
