The 5-Factor SNF Scorecard measures your facility across Quality, Finance, Staffing, Compliance, and Census. Know where you stand — and what to fix first.
Rate your facility 1–10 on each factor based on current performance. Get your composite score and see where to focus first.
Each factor equally weighted at 20%. Scores 8–10 indicate top-quartile performance; 5–7 are average; below 5 needs immediate attention. Use this to prioritize your operational improvement calendar.
Most SNF performance problems are visible in one of these five dimensions before they show up in surveys, reimbursement, or occupancy drops.
CMS 5-Star Quality Measure ratings, QM scores on Care Compare, short- and long-stay measures. Poor QM performance is visible to every family researching facilities.
Operating margin, days cash on hand, labor as % of revenue, supply costs, ancillary capture. Financial weakness accelerates every other problem.
HPRD relative to CMS minimums, RN coverage, turnover rate, agency utilization. Staffing drives quality measures, survey outcomes, and resident satisfaction.
Most recent survey results, G and higher deficiencies, Special Focus Facility status, state complaint history. One bad survey cycle can drive occupancy loss for 12-18 months.
Current occupancy vs. budget, payer mix, Medicare/Medicaid ratio, discharge planning alignment. Census shortfall is often the first visible sign of systemic problems.
