Red flags
CMS abuse warning

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.
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.
$82,005 in federal fines in the last 24 months
1 fine — CMS fines are reserved for verified, serious non-compliance.
