Red flags
Special Focus Facility
CMS has designated this facility one of the most persistently poor performers in the country — it is under increased inspection and enforcement.
CMS abuse warning
CMS flags this facility with its abuse icon: cited for abuse that caused harm in the past year, or potential harm in the past two years.
3 immediate-jeopardy citations in prior inspection cycles
Serious past findings — check whether the underlying problems were fixed and stayed fixed.
Cited under the freedom-from-abuse rule
Cited 3 times under F600 (freedom from abuse/neglect) below the actual-harm level — worth asking about on a tour.
$225,183 in federal fines in the last 24 months
3 fines — CMS fines are reserved for verified, serious non-compliance.
70% of nursing staff left within a year
High turnover disrupts continuity of care; the national median is 45%.
