🔍 Areas of Concern (2)

⚠️41.92% 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: 0.8271). This means the care experience can be very different depending on the day.
