Flagged by CMS data
Registered nurse hours are 0.30 per resident per day — below the recommended minimum of 0.75 hours. RNs are responsible for clinical assessments and oversight. Low RN coverage is associated with higher rates of hospitalization and missed diagnoses.

Flagged by CMS data
This facility's long-stay antipsychotic rate is 40% — 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?'
