Red flags

Special Focus Facility candidate

CMS lists this facility as a candidate for its Special Focus program for persistently poor inspection performance.

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.

$227,850 in federal fines in the last 24 months

2 fines — CMS fines are reserved for verified, serious non-compliance.

63% of nursing staff left within a year

High turnover disrupts continuity of care; the national median is 45%.
