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 44% — 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
Unplanned weight loss rate is 10.2% — above the national median of about 6%. In long-stay facilities this is almost always a feeding-assistance failure: residents who need help eating aren't getting it, especially at dinner when staffing thins. Worth asking how dinner-hour staffing compares to lunch.
