Red flags
RN staffing in the bottom 10% nationally
0.26 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
2.97 reported hours vs the 3.48 minimum CMS's own staffing study recommends.
72% of nursing staff left within a year
High turnover disrupts continuity of care; the national median is 45%.
No standard inspection in over 2 years
The inspection record here is older than usual — conditions may have changed since.
