🔍 Areas of Concern (5)

🚨Had 10 days with zero RN hours this quarter — CMS automatically assigns a 1-star staffing rating for 4+ days.
🚨Does not meet the CMS staffing benchmark of 3.48 HPRD. Current: 2.5139 HPRD — needs 0.97 more hours per resident per day.
⚠️RN staffing (0.3778 HPRD) is below the research-recommended minimum of 0.75 HPRD. This means less clinical oversight per resident.
⚠️24.85% of nursing hours come from agency/contract workers. High contractor reliance often means less continuity of care — staff who don't know the residents.
📊Staffing levels are highly variable day to day (consistency score: 1.2716). This means the care experience can be very different depending on the day.
