Flagged by CMS data
This facility reports 4.0-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
Mobility-decline rate is 35.2% — 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.

Flagged by CMS data
Falls with major injury rate is 1.3% — well below the national median. Call lights are getting answered fast and aides are present during transfer-heavy hours. This is a hard number to keep low.
From the latest CMS Care Compare reconcile
Flagged by CMS data
Annual nursing staff turnover is 34% — well below the industry average of 50-60%. The same caregivers are coming back week after week, which means residents see familiar faces who know their preferences and history. Continuity of care is one of the biggest invisible quality signals.
