🔍 Areas of Concern (4)

🚨Had 29 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: 2.6146 HPRD — needs 0.87 more hours per resident per day.
⚠️RN staffing (0.2095 HPRD) is below the research-recommended minimum of 0.75 HPRD. This means less clinical oversight per resident.
⚠️17.29% of nursing hours come from agency/contract workers. High contractor reliance often means less continuity of care — staff who don't know the residents.
