Flagged by CMS data
This facility reports 5.0-star staffing levels but resident outcomes are only 3.0 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
This facility has received 6 federal fine(s) but still shows a 5.0-star overall rating. Federal penalties are serious — they indicate violations found during inspections. A high rating alongside recent penalties warrants extra scrutiny.
From the latest CMS Care Compare reconcile
Flagged by CMS data
Long-stay catheter rate is 6.3% — well above the national median of about 1.5%. Indwelling catheters are sometimes used as a labor-saving substitute for getting residents to the bathroom, which causes UTIs and dignity loss. Worth asking what the facility's catheter-removal protocol looks like.
From the latest CMS Care Compare reconcile
Flagged by CMS data
Registered nurse coverage is 2.01 hours per resident per day — well above the recommended minimum of 0.75 and on par with high-end facilities. More RN time means complex medical changes get caught before they become emergency room trips.
