From the latest CMS Care Compare reconcile
Flagged by CMS data
Unplanned weight loss rate is 12.2% — 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.

Flagged by CMS data
Long-stay antipsychotic rate is just 5% — well below the national median of about 14%. This facility is treating behavior and dementia symptoms with engagement, environmental design, and personalized routines instead of prescriptions. That's hard to do and rare to find.
