Flagged by CMS data
CMS has placed an abuse icon on this facility, indicating a substantiated finding of abuse, neglect, or exploitation of a resident. This is one of the most serious flags CMS assigns.
From the latest CMS Care Compare reconcile
Flagged by CMS data
This facility's long-stay antipsychotic rate is 39% — roughly three times the national median of about 14%. CMS already excludes residents with schizophrenia, Tourette's, and Huntington's from this measure, so this reflects prescribing for residents who don't have a primary psychotic diagnosis. Worth asking on a tour: 'How does my parent get back off these meds if started?'
From the latest CMS Care Compare reconcile
Flagged by CMS data
Long-stay antianxiety / sleep medication rate is 34%. This category often shifts up when antipsychotic prescribing is restricted — different drug class, same effect on the resident. Worth asking the facility's prescribing rate for both classes side by side.

Falls with major injury rate is 0.5% — well below the national median. Call lights are getting answered fast and aides are present during transfer-heavy hours. This is a hard number to keep low.
