Why this verdict
- Inspection record is far worse than the national median (deficiency count and severity).
- No federal fines or payment denials in CMS’s 3-year window.
Red flags
RN staffing in the bottom 10% nationally
0.13 registered-nurse hours per resident per day, vs a 0.58 national median and 0.75 benchmark.
81% of nursing staff left within a year
High turnover disrupts continuity of care; the national median is 45%.
