Red flags
CMS abuse warning
CMS flags this facility with its abuse icon: cited for abuse that caused harm in the past year, or potential harm in the past two years.
Cited under the freedom-from-abuse rule
Cited 3 times under F600 (freedom from abuse/neglect) below the actual-harm level — worth asking about on a tour.
2 actual-harm citations in the most recent cycle
Inspectors found deficiencies that caused real harm to residents, beyond potential-harm paperwork findings.
Medicare/Medicaid payments were denied
CMS refused payment for new admissions for a period — one of its strongest enforcement tools.
Total nurse staffing below 3.0 hours per resident-day
2.93 reported hours vs the 3.48 minimum CMS's own staffing study recommends.
60% of nursing staff left within a year
High turnover disrupts continuity of care; the national median is 45%.
