Flagged by CMS data
Annual nursing staff turnover is 24% — well below the industry average of 50-60%. The same caregivers are coming back week after week, which means residents see familiar faces who know their preferences and history. Continuity of care is one of the biggest invisible quality signals.

Flagged by CMS data
This facility earned the highest possible health-inspection rating from CMS. That means the inspectors who showed up unannounced, walked the halls, talked to residents, and reviewed records found a clean operation. Worth weighing heavily — inspection ratings are the hardest data point to game.
