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.
7 immediate-jeopardy citations 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.
$349,151 in federal fines in the last 24 months
3 fines — CMS fines are reserved for verified, serious non-compliance.
RN staffing in the bottom 10% nationally
0.18 registered-nurse hours per resident per day, vs a 0.58 national median and 0.75 benchmark.
72% of nursing staff left within a year
High turnover disrupts continuity of care; the national median is 45%.
