From the latest CMS Care Compare reconcile
Flagged by CMS data
Long-stay antianxiety / sleep medication rate is 28%. 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.

Flagged by CMS data
Mobility-decline rate is 40.3% — 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.

Pressure ulcer rate is 2.9% — 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.
