Flagged by CMS data
Annual nursing staff turnover is 94%. High turnover means residents frequently interact with unfamiliar staff, which research links to lower quality of care. Industry average is around 50-60%.
From the latest CMS Care Compare reconcile
Flagged by CMS data
Pressure ulcer (bedsore) rate is 11.6% — 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.
From the latest CMS Care Compare reconcile
Flagged by CMS data
Mobility-decline rate is 22.0% — 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.
