Flagged by CMS data
Pressure ulcer (bedsore) rate is 15.6% — 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.

Falls with major injury rate is 5.5% — above the national median of about 3%. A spike usually means call lights aren't getting answered fast enough or the facility is short on aides during transfer-heavy hours like mealtimes. Worth asking how long the call-light response window is during evening shifts.

Flagged by CMS data
Registered nurse coverage is 1.03 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.
