🔍 Areas of Concern (4)

⚠️Had 2 days with zero registered nurse hours this quarter. While below the 4-day threshold for an auto 1-star rating, any zero-RN day is a concern.
🚨Does not meet the CMS staffing benchmark of 3.48 HPRD. Current: 0.4494 HPRD — needs 3.03 more hours per resident per day.
⚠️RN staffing (0.4178 HPRD) is below the research-recommended minimum of 0.75 HPRD. This means less clinical oversight per resident.
⚠️100% of nursing hours come from agency/contract workers. High contractor reliance often means less continuity of care — staff who don't know the residents.
