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.
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.
2 actual-harm citations in the most recent cycle
Inspectors found deficiencies that caused real harm to residents, beyond potential-harm paperwork findings.
$158,534 in federal fines in the last 24 months
1 fine — CMS fines are reserved for verified, serious non-compliance.
Total nurse staffing below 3.0 hours per resident-day
2.97 reported hours vs the 3.48 minimum CMS's own staffing study recommends.
70% of nursing staff left within a year
High turnover disrupts continuity of care; the national median is 45%.
