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.
From the latest CMS Care Compare reconcile
Flagged by CMS data
Pressure ulcer rate is 2.3% — under half the national median. Means the floor staff are repositioning residents on schedule and catching skin breakdown early. Hands-on attention shows up in this number.
