🔍 Areas of Concern (4)

⚠️Had 3 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.
⚠️RN staffing (0.4947 HPRD) is below the research-recommended minimum of 0.75 HPRD. This means less clinical oversight per resident.
⚠️63.38% 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: 1.0813). This means the care experience can be very different depending on the day.
