Flagged by CMS data
Pressure ulcer (bedsore) rate is 10.3% — well above the national median of about 7%. Pressure ulcers form when staff don't reposition residents every two hours. This is a staffing-and-attention signal as much as a clinical one. Worth asking what the repositioning schedule looks like.

Flagged by CMS data
Unplanned weight loss rate is 10.5% — 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.
