Flagged by CMS data
Pressure ulcer (bedsore) rate is 11.5% — 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.

Flagged by CMS data
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
Mobility-decline rate is 36.4% — 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
Long-stay antipsychotic rate is just 5% — 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.
From the latest CMS Care Compare reconcile
Flagged by CMS data
Annual nursing staff turnover is 21% — 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.
