From the latest CMS Care Compare reconcile
Flagged by CMS data
Pressure ulcer (bedsore) rate is 12.1% — 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 9.2% — 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
Mobility-decline rate is 36.7% — meaning that share of long-stay residents lost ability to move between measurements (above the national median of about 17%). High decline suggests no PT/OT program or no daily walking — residents are being allowed to become bed-bound. Worth asking what the rehab and activities calendar actually looks like.
From the latest CMS Care Compare reconcile
Flagged by CMS data
Registered nurse coverage is 1.04 hours per resident per day — well above the recommended minimum of 0.75 and on par with high-end facilities. More RN time means complex medical changes get caught before they become emergency room trips.
