Flagged by CMS data
This facility reports 3.0-star staffing levels but resident outcomes are only 1.0 stars. High staffing ratings with poor resident outcomes suggest the staffing numbers may not reflect the quality of care residents actually receive.
From the latest CMS Care Compare reconcile
Flagged by CMS data
This facility's long-stay antipsychotic rate is 35% — 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
Long-stay antianxiety / sleep medication rate is 31%. This category often shifts up when antipsychotic prescribing is restricted — different drug class, same effect on the resident. Worth asking the facility's prescribing rate for both classes side by side.
