Red flags
Cited under the freedom-from-abuse rule
Cited 1 time under F600 (freedom from abuse/neglect) below the actual-harm level — worth asking about on a tour.
Medicare/Medicaid payments were denied
CMS refused payment for new admissions for a period — one of its strongest enforcement tools.
70% of nursing staff left within a year
High turnover disrupts continuity of care; the national median is 45%.
No standard inspection in over 2 years
The inspection record here is older than usual — conditions may have changed since.
