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.
Total nurse staffing below 3.0 hours per resident-day
2.94 reported hours vs the 3.48 minimum CMS's own staffing study recommends.
