Red flags
Special Focus Facility
CMS has designated this facility one of the most persistently poor performers in the country — it is under increased inspection and enforcement.
CMS abuse warning
CMS flags this facility with its abuse icon: cited for abuse that caused harm in the past year, or potential harm in the past two years.
3 immediate-jeopardy citations 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.
3 abuse-related citations at the actual-harm level
Inspectors cited failures in the abuse-prevention rules (F600–F610) that resulted in actual harm to a resident.
Medicare/Medicaid payments were denied
CMS refused payment for new admissions for a period — one of its strongest enforcement tools.
61% of nursing staff left within a year
High turnover disrupts continuity of care; the national median is 45%.
