Nursing homes CMS has flagged in Minnesota

How to read this. These are CMS's own designations. A Special Focus Facility (SFF) is among the worst persistently-low performers, placed under increased federal oversight; an SFF candidate is next in line; the abuse icon means CMS cited the facility for abuse, neglect, or exploitation where a resident was harmed or potentially harmed. A flag is a serious signal to investigate and ask hard questions — not a final verdict, and a facility can improve off the list. Crucially, the absence of a flag is not a clean bill of health — many problems are never flagged. Verify current status and inspection details at CMS Care Compare.
