Red flags
1 immediate-jeopardy citation 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 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.
