Red flags
Medicare/Medicaid payments were denied
CMS refused payment for new admissions for a period — one of its strongest enforcement tools.

2.87 reported hours vs the 3.48 minimum CMS's own staffing study recommends.
No standard inspection in over 2 years
The inspection record here is older than usual — conditions may have changed since.
