Red flags
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
0.11 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
0.53 reported hours vs the 3.48 minimum CMS's own staffing study recommends.
Weekends run noticeably short-staffed
Weekend staffing is 68% of the overall level. Visit on a Saturday or Sunday before deciding.
69% of nursing staff left within a year
High turnover disrupts continuity of care; the national median is 45%.
