Red flags
Medicare/Medicaid payments were denied
CMS refused payment for new admissions for a period — one of its strongest enforcement tools.
64% of nursing staff left within a year
High turnover disrupts continuity of care; the national median is 45%.
No standard inspection in over 2 years
The inspection record here is older than usual — conditions may have changed since.
