# Atlas Commons research objects — nursing-home safety for CEDAR GROVE RESPIRATORY AND NURSING CENTER

## Claims

### CMS Overall Star Rating for CEDAR GROVE RESPIRATORY AND NURSING CENTER is 5 of 5 stars

**MODELED.** CMS rates CEDAR GROVE RESPIRATORY AND NURSING CENTER (WILLIAMSTOWN, NJ) at 5 of 5 stars on its Overall Star Rating. It combines the health-inspection, staffing, and quality-measure ratings. The CMS Five-Star rating is a LATENT-VARIABLE rating CMS computes — an authority's model, NOT a direct measurement.

Source: CMS Nursing Home Care Compare — https://www.medicare.gov/care-compare/
Falsifier: occurred=FALSE: a MODELED figure — an authority's computed quantity ESTIMATING an independent/latent value (an index or annualized expectation), REPRODUCIBLE from its disclosed inputs, NOT a record of an event. adjudged=TRUE because CMS Nursing Home Care Compare (an external authority) computes and publishes it. The grounding promises "reproduce this from the inputs" — so a categorical authority VERDICT that is NOT reproducible (a star rating, a risk class) is a 'determination', not 'modeled'. Superseded by the next release.

### CEDAR GROVE RESPIRATORY AND NURSING CENTER reports 3.9813 total nurse staffing hours per resident per day

**RECORDED.** CEDAR GROVE RESPIRATORY AND NURSING CENTER reports 3.9813 total nurse staffing hours per resident per day (RN 0.58758, nurse aide 1.99973), from payroll-based journal (PBJ) data — a MEASURED, payroll-auditable record, not a rating. For context, expert/CMS guidance points to ~4.1 total nurse hours/resident/day as a staffing adequacy benchmark.

Source: CMS Nursing Home Care Compare — PBJ payroll-based staffing — https://www.medicare.gov/care-compare/
Falsifier: A RECORD of measured/reported events (occurred=true) from CMS Nursing Home Care Compare — PBJ payroll-based staffing; superseded when CMS Nursing Home Care Compare — PBJ payroll-based staffing publishes its next release.

### What this is — and is NOT — for CEDAR GROVE RESPIRATORY AND NURSING CENTER (the epistemic boundary)

**INTERPRETATION.** Every figure here is published CMS Nursing Home Care Compare data, the same facts CMS shows the public. The star ratings are CMS's MODEL; the staffing hours are a MEASURED record. This page INFORMS and COMPARES — it does NOT recommend whether CEDAR GROVE RESPIRATORY AND NURSING CENTER is right for your specific relative's needs, and a high or low rating is not a guarantee. Visit in person, ask about recent inspections, and contact your state Long-Term Care Ombudsman. Verify everything at medicare.gov/care-compare.

Source: Care Atlas framing (over the CMS Care Compare facts above) — https://care-atlas.ryanjhunter.workers.dev/
Falsifier: occurred=FALSE (a framing, not an event) and adjudged=FALSE (the atlas's reading, not a CMS verdict) — the LOWEST-warrant claim here. The CMS ratings (modeled) and staffing hours (recorded) above are CMS's own; this is the only interpretation, and the four-status says so.

Every claim above carries a four-status warrant (RECORDED / MODELED / DERIVED / INTERPRETATION) and a named source you can re-fetch — this is a research object, not a flat fact. Structured: `https://care-atlas.ryanjhunter.workers.dev/care/nursing-homes/315257.jsonld`
