Red flags
Total nurse staffing below 3.0 hours per resident-day
2.16 reported hours vs the 3.48 minimum CMS's own staffing study recommends.
Weekends run noticeably short-staffed
Weekend staffing is 62% of the overall level. Visit on a Saturday or Sunday before deciding.
70% of nursing staff left within a year
High turnover disrupts continuity of care; the national median is 45%.
