  • Flagged by CMS data

    Mobility-decline rate is 23.9% — 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

    Long-stay antipsychotic rate is just 6% — well below the national median of about 14%. This facility is treating behavior and dementia symptoms with engagement, environmental design, and personalized routines instead of prescriptions. That's hard to do and rare to find.
