If you’re exploring nursing homes, The Culpeper is worth visiting due to its strong track record, including zero fines in the past three years, which speaks volumes about its commitment to quality care.

Understanding Our Trust Score System
The Trust Score is a 0-100 rating calculated from CMS's official nursing home database. The score combines five data categories:
- Health Inspection Results — Recent deficiencies, their severity, and patterns over time

- Penalties — Fines, payment denials, and enforcement actions
