Flagged by CMS data
CMS has designated this facility as a Special Focus Facility (SFF). This designation is given to nursing homes with a history of serious quality problems. Only the worst performers in the country receive this designation.
From the latest CMS Care Compare reconcile
Flagged by CMS data
This facility's long-stay antipsychotic rate is 62% — 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?'
