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.
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.
RN staffing in the bottom 10% nationally
0.19 registered-nurse hours per resident per day, vs a 0.58 national median and 0.75 benchmark.
Total nurse staffing below 3.0 hours per resident-day
2.06 reported hours vs the 3.48 minimum CMS's own staffing study recommends.
Weekends run noticeably short-staffed
Weekend staffing is 68% of the overall level. Visit on a Saturday or Sunday before deciding.
79% of nursing staff left within a year
High turnover disrupts continuity of care; the national median is 45%.
