🔍 Areas of Concern (3)

⚠️Weekend staffing drops 25.03% — significantly higher than average. Residents receive substantially less care on Saturdays and Sundays.
⚠️20.31% 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: 1.5598). This means the care experience can be very different depending on the day.
