Flagged by CMS data
Registered nurse hours are 0.39 per resident per day — below the recommended minimum of 0.75 hours. RNs are responsible for clinical assessments and oversight. Low RN coverage is associated with higher rates of hospitalization and missed diagnoses.
From the latest CMS Care Compare reconcile
Flagged by CMS data
Unplanned weight loss rate is 18.1% — 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 44.7% — 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.

Falls with major injury rate is 1.2% — 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.
