Red flags

Cited 1 time under F600 (freedom from abuse/neglect) below the actual-harm level — worth asking about on a tour.

2.76 reported hours vs the 3.48 minimum CMS's own staffing study recommends.
71% of nursing staff left within a year
High turnover disrupts continuity of care; the national median is 45%.
