Flagged by CMS data
Registered nurse hours are 0.24 per resident per day — below the recommended minimum of 0.75 hours. RNs are responsible for clinical assessments and oversight. Low RN coverage is associated with higher rates of hospitalization and missed diagnoses.

Flagged by CMS data
Mobility-decline rate is 29.9% — meaning that share of long-stay residents lost ability to move between measurements (above the national median of about 17%). High decline suggests no PT/OT program or no daily walking — residents are being allowed to become bed-bound. Worth asking what the rehab and activities calendar actually looks like.
