Red flags

Special Focus Facility

CMS has designated this facility one of the most persistently poor performers in the country — it is under increased inspection and enforcement.

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.

1 immediate-jeopardy citation in the most recent inspection cycle

Immediate jeopardy is the most serious finding an inspector can make: a situation likely to cause serious injury, harm, or death.

2 abuse-related citations at the actual-harm level

Inspectors cited failures in the abuse-prevention rules (F600–F610) that resulted in actual harm to a resident.

Medicare/Medicaid payments were denied

CMS refused payment for new admissions for a period — one of its strongest enforcement tools.

RN staffing in the bottom 10% nationally

0.30 registered-nurse hours per resident per day, vs a 0.58 national median and 0.75 benchmark.

Total nurse staffing below 3.0 hours per resident-day

2.81 reported hours vs the 3.48 minimum CMS's own staffing study recommends.
