Red flags
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.
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.
63% of nursing staff left within a year
High turnover disrupts continuity of care; the national median is 45%.
