Red flags

1 immediate-jeopardy citation in the most recent inspection cycle

Immediate jeopardy is the most serious finding an inspector can make: a situation likely to cause serious injury, harm, or death.

Medicare/Medicaid payments were denied

CMS refused payment for new admissions for a period — one of its strongest enforcement tools.

RN staffing in the bottom 10% nationally

0.30 registered-nurse hours per resident per day, vs a 0.58 national median and 0.75 benchmark.

63% of nursing staff left within a year

High turnover disrupts continuity of care; the national median is 45%.
